Battle Pencils shipped to the USA
Yesterday, I blogged about Batoen, Japanese schoolkids' "battle pencils" that you roll like long dice, winning or losing battles based on which face is face up at the end of the roll (the game seems to be part of an effort to circumvent Japanese schools' bans on games in class).
Now Roxanne has found an etailer that sells these and ships them to the US.

(Thanks, Roxanne!)
