I have to learn to read the articles to the end. I bought the moon and thought I had a cool new gadget... For the 2000 yen you get not a beach ball, but something a little smaller than a soccer ball. There's a huge tank of helium which has only enough helium to fill the ball once to an almost ball-shaped state. The craters look a bit pale, you have to look closely to recognize that it's supposed to be the moon. In the dark it looks like a pale greenish orb, no visible craters, relative brightness much lower than the actual thing. Not a total waste though, a pale greenish orb is still cool. Until all the helium leaks... then it will be a pale greenish piece of rubber. Damn… I have to learn to read the articles to the end. I bought the moon and thought I had a cool new gadget…
