◄ Already covered in episode 351 — a matching product link is in that episode’s description.
High-confidence date (2025-02-13) is over a year old, not within the ~10 day 'recent' window — this is old news the show already would have covered, despite launch_signals language describing the product as new at release. Also currently out of stock at Key City Hobby, which weakens any retail-availability angle. Crawler category would normally be 70-95 for genuinely new items, but the stale date caps this well below that regardless of on-theme fit.
