TL;DR: EUR/JPY and AUD/JPY have broken key technical support this week, but the weekly performance breakdown shows only 0.1–0.3 percentage points of that weakness comes from genuine Yen strength—the rest reflects Dollar and Yen as the two strongest majors, with intervention risk capping USD/JPY and forcing Euro, Aussie, Sterling and Kiwi weakness to pass directly…

文：本香猛 LEGO 早前發布集結七顆龍珠的神秘短片，預告將與《龍珠》展開首度聯乘，震撼全城動漫迷與積木界。正當一眾玩家猜測會推出甚麼超重量級商品之際，LEGO 官網率先「召喚」出這套神物，就是 LEGO Icons 11390 神龍＆悟空（Shenron & Goku)，主打高階收藏級市場，預計 2026 年 11 月 4 日全球上市！ 今次曝光的 11390 套組共包含 1,764 塊積木，高 32cm、長 24cm、闊 26cm，放在書桌或展示櫃上相當有存在感。盒面採用最原始的初代《龍珠》英文標誌，而非後期的《龍珠 Z》或《龍珠超》。官方今次顯然大打懷舊牌，避開了大家玩到厭的超級撒亞人造型，將視線拉回少年悟空與莊子最初踏上旅程、尋找龍珠的純真時代。 對於追求擺設效果與組裝體驗的玩家而言，今次的神龍造型絕對交足功課。神龍以極具動感的巨龍盤旋姿態直立於特製底座上，全身上下運用了深綠與淺綠兩種不同色調的積木塊堆疊出立體鱗片感，腹部的金色甲殼亦一路向上延伸至頭部。神龍龍頭的處理極為精細，包括鹿角、長鬚、獠牙，以及銳利的紅色目光均以精準的零件打造成型，氣勢十足。 除了主角神龍之外，套組附連少年悟空的 Minifigure。悟空手持如意棒、腳踏黃色的筋斗雲盤旋在神龍身旁，動感靈動。底座部分更加入專屬的作品標誌名牌，以及召喚神龍時烏雲密布與能量爆發的特效積木。而最讓玩家驚喜的是，今次無須像當年悟空一樣全世界尋找龍珠，套組內直接一次過附送齊全的七顆透明龍珠，所有星星圖案預先印刷，讓玩家砌好後直接「許願」。 此作賣 US$179.99，折約 HK$1,412，高階 Icons 系列向來「Adults Welcome」，此定價尚算合理。值得注意的是，這款神龍只是開頭，據多個消息來源指出，LEGO 與東映的合作將在 2027 年擴大到完整的《龍珠 Z》主題系列，屆時很可能推出更多角色的 Minifigure，包括比達、菲利、斯路等經典人物，龍珠迷麻煩儲定錢！ Source link
