Wow all the way from japan. Was it expensive? 😀

[milagros317]

I've bought many things that were made in Japan, but I don't think I've ever ordered from there directly. 😀 😛

With shipping it was $48 (roughly) A few bucks more than what I'd pay for over here The kit I got from Japan wasn't meant for the market over here 😀 😛

The kit itself was made in Taiwan for the Japanese market The only vehicle markings the kit had was Japanese For some odd reason,I just had to have it 😀 😛

When you can afford something and just have to have it, go ahead and buy it. 😀 😛

Especially since that version of the kit was no longer made I made contact with a dude who is originally from Australia,who moved to Japan years back I asked him if he could please search around for that kit in his spare time

He found it for me on Japanese E-bay and was able to get it for me that way I sent him the money via paypal 😀 😛

Oh yes If I find something too pricey,I either do without it,or shop around for a better price With model kits I am patient 😀 😛
