If you like chessy kaiju, then you will love these. Both were made in the early 70's during the huge giant robot invasion on Japanese television that started with Ultraman years before. Iron King was obviously made for children, but would be considered too violent for today's TV. In Super Robot Red Baron you will see the beginings of themes later used in Power Rangers and other sentai TV shows. I liked Red Baron better for the attempts in production quality. You can make a drinking game in which you have to take a shot everytime Mari breathlessly says "Ken" or Ken says "Mari". During some episodes you would be smashed halfway through.

I am kind of leary on buying those shows. Especially since the same company also did a release of Ultraman, when they did NOT really have the licence (it was being debated in court when the DVD came out). Until I see an Ultraman set with the Tsuburaya Productions official seal of approval, I probably won't buy it.

I was going to try to buy the recent releases of Gamera (vs. Baragon & the 2 "Double Feature" sets) but they don't seem to want to sell them in any of the usual stores where I live (Best Buy & Fry's).

Best Buy's selection of cool stuff has gotten anemic the past couple of years. I no longer shop there unless I am buying electronics. I do nearly all my media purchasing on line. Many times I have found what I am looking for (including shipping) at a price better than you can find the stores. I hate that. I don't want B&M's to go out of business, but when it comes to media, I have to use my money in way that gets the most value for me. Plus, like you said, you can't always find what you want in a store. You have to order it anyway.

Not recent purchases, but I've finally gotten around to watching..:
Samurai School: let me start off by saying that I absolutely love Tak Sakaguchi. I absolutely loved this film. It's got a lot of dorky humor that fans of Tak had ought to be accustomed to by now. I really loved the theme of "This is what it means to be a man", while obviously being very silly with the displays. CHECK THIS FILM OUT.
Tokyo Gore Police: Lol, this one is worth watching if for no other reason than the in-film advertisements. The film itself is fine. Just imagine a mix between Machine Girl & Meatball Machine. A great title to help you stand the wait for the upcoming release of Robogeisha

I picked upThe Good, The Bad, And The Weird but I have yet to watch it..

[edit] & yeah,.. I only order through RightStuf, Amazon, & HKFlix. Very Rarely do I bother at B&M shops.
(Though I am presently working out a DeepDiscount order..)

those advertisements were better than the actual film.

Cuter Cutter! It's a wrist cutter that's cute!

Just got in:
Ghost Talker's Daydream 4
Maid Sama 6
Been waiting on Ghost Talker forever. Dark Horse has a habit of putting out release dates and then postponing them for months at a time.

The manga is quite entertaining and well written. Elements remind me of Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. If I remember correctly, the anime covers some of the early stories from volume one. I do remember that is it very good. Not very scary, perhaps a little creepy. Some adult content to both the anime and the manga.

I watches Vampire Girl Vs Frankenstein Girl last night. Mmmm... Movie wasn't nearly as good as Machine Girl & perhaps even slighty bellow Tokyo Gore Police,.. But was prrrretty good.
I'm more excited about Robo-Geisha coming up soon.
Vg-vs-Fg isn't totally a waste of time, it's certainy not so bad if you know what you are getting into,.. But I was generally not wild about the film. The comedy wasn't strong enough.
