You too can help subtitle Lucky Star!
Working on the weapon references contained in Tencho's "Ultimate Weapons! Rock Bottom Price Death" shop. Here's what we've puzzled out so far - if you think you know something that's being referred to, comment and I'll get it in the subs. List below the fold.
Update: The weapons were pretty easy - looks like the company went in and corrected a bunch before I even got to them. Great job, guys. Anything for the armor?
Weapon Window
Excalibur (obviously correct)
Caliburn (correct, FSN ref)
Durandal (correct, FSN and FMP ref)
Laevatein - I could make a case for this as Levantine, obviously, but at the same time, since this is a Kyoto Animation production, maybe I oughta leave it with this spelling, for the FMP ref?
Dainsleif (FSN ref)
Gram (Norse myth)
ClaÃomh Solais (Irish myth, sort of an FMP ref)
Caladbolg (correct, FSN ref)
Fragarach (more Irish myth)
Hrunting (Beowulf)
Armor Window
Gangrandis Armor
Valiant Mail (obviously fine)
Sapphire Cross (ditto)
Avadon Armor (hm... "Abbadon Armor" maybe?)
Crocodile Skin (fine)
Dragooness Armor (correct, FF ref)
Garyusas' Armor (maybe "Garyus's Armor", Dragon Force ref?)
Sarwesh Shield
Radamakascar Shield
Mithril Breast (fine)

Laevateinn was a weapon in Norse mythology, sometimes spelled
Laevatein. As you mention, the latter spelling gets used in FMP. It also lends its name to Signum's sword but I agree that KyoAni is more likely referencing FMP. Therefore, no maybe about it, stay with Laevatein.

Presumably the sales weren't enough on previous boxes and the retailers told 'em "we're not gonna order any" (or "not enough to make manufacturing the LE items cheap enough to do", anyway.) Y'know, the usual...
