Fisher Price Minis Invade Japan?

to my knowledge, the minis have always been available in japan. there are pics on the wiki of japanese checklists and mall displays featuring huge, theme-park sized "minis".

i think suzukawa has just finally bitten the bullet, or waited until she had a good number to review properly. i would like to know where those cards she at the end came from. in the bags, maybe? but she pulled the checklist out of one and no card.
