Get ready for prices to shoot through the roof. Yamato limited the order of these to 1 per person / address. Not only did they make it available only in Japan, they made it more more limited by limiting the amount that will be made and sold. Rob

It will be released in Sept 2008. There has not been a limit of orders set yet... As for info and availability, check my site. Rob

Nope so far I have had only one person ask me. Rob

Lovely...

Too funny....

very long time....at least a year or two...if at all. Rob

I used to work in a Japanese Hobby Shop. If boxes are not taped by the factory, most stores will go ahead and tape them shut. Also that plastic wrap you have on your Valks, that was put on by the shop itself. Most high value toys, especially in smaller shops, place figures and toys in these big plastic bags. It is to protect them from being handled and from dust. But it is a practice that is becoming out of style. Rob

Heh, yep I am a member here, have been for quite some time. Thanks for the recommendation! Rob

Awesome stuff! Love It!

Nice to let those of us who live in Osaka know you were coming. It would have been nice to hook up...and we could have taken you to some of the secret shoping areas.... Rob

This last Thursday we had the opportunity to go to the Shizuoka Hobby Show. Here is a link to the pics. Enjoy! Shizuoka Hobby Show Rob
