Captain Herlock

[johntofva]

After reviewing the web-site, "Captain Harlock" is really going to be at the top of the want list. (For some reason there is two spellings for this "Harlock" & "Herlock".)

This is the third in this series from the writer/artist Leiji Matsumoto. The first being "Star Blazers". And the second one being "Galaxy Railways." It would be quite a coup to own all three.

Looking at the add, it almost seems to be saying it is the fourth one. I wonder if they are counting the machines"Star Blazers" 1 & 2 as two? Or is there another one of his animations that has been made into a machine?

There was two years between the release of the original Dai Yamato/Starblazers pachinko (which was in a Victory frame) and Dai Yamato 2/Starblazers 2 (in a Lumina frame), so I'd expect Sankyo to consider them to be two seperate machines.
