Client testimonial #41

Testimonial from client #41:

Joseph is a real pro! Ok, ok some people say that his service is a little expensive but I can say it's worth the price! Packaging is top notch (just like HLJ), he send emails about the status of the item, and my emails were always and quickly answered. Moreover, he is very friendly! I recommend him for any hard to find item. It's the first time I tried his service and it won't be the last!

Item purchased: Kotobukiya 1/7 scale Mirei-san Kantou Shop Limited Color Kotobukiya Shop exclusive.

Haul pics - 20 May 2007

Got back from Shizuoka pretty late yesterday at 11pm and was too dead tired from the 6 hour drive to reply to any emails or post my haul. Anyway, I'll get to all your emails after this post. Here's some stuff I got at the Shizuoka Hobby Show, flea market, and at the Tamiya Open House:


Hasegawa Virtual-On optional decal set of 2 (VR1/VR3 use) - Limited to 1,500 - 1,000 yen
The decals were designed by Katoki Hajime for use on Hasegawa's 1/100 Temjin kit. One set is a Katoki Hajime original color design and the other a four player color version. Now I have to find some time to build the kit.

KT Figure Collection Convoy Figure Ou magazine freebie - 200 yen
Got this at the Shizuoka flea market.

Tamiya 1/24 Gemma kit - FREE!
Got this fresh off the machine that was pumping out the runners at Tamiya's HQ during their open house event.

Tokyo Hunter is back in business!

That's right! The Paypal withdrawal limit in my account has finally been lifted and I can now resume with taking new orders! I'll be listing up a ton of exclusives available for preorder right after this post. There'll also be an announcement regarding the change of focus of my service to be posted sometime this week when I find time to write about it. Basically, I'm putting more focus on helping with purchasing items that are available through Japanese online stores and taking less trips to Tokyo to hunt down wanted items. The high transportation costs, time, and effort involved in hunting down and purchasing items in Tokyo are the main reasons why I would prefer to focus on online purchasing instead. More on this in the upcoming announcement. For now, I'm gonna flood my blog with upcoming exclusives available for preorder!
