This is my first rodeo, but it seems as though this is the worst anyone's ever seen some got it from cdjapan, some got it from amiami, some got it from hlj. no one from hobby search. , and some got it from nin-nin games when they open 2 hours early.

jenius Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 My buddy in Japan just gave up... I think there's a lot of shrugging and hoping more are available at launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 meanwhile, Mandarake just sold a Hikaru 1J for 32K... so now you know why everyone wants to buy one of these at 18K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingaio Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I may be calling it a night too. It's 2:03 AM here. I've got the day off tomorrow (today?). Don't know how you guys and gals do it. Disappointed, but it's not the end of the world. A 1A Max would have been nice, but I've only got so much space, and the 1A CF and 1S would be more essential to my display. But oh yeah, I'm not going to be able to order those either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
