Hee Hee... I think Fujimi models are designed for people (with no life) like me.. who doesn't like to built model kits as is... and rather chop and dice them up to bits and pieces then make something completelly out to lunch out of it

What was tax and duty like? I'm looking to order a decal sheet and maybe some wheels and photo eched parts but I don't know if they would be cheaper to order here. How was your experience ordering from them and would you do it again? I mean price wise?

HLJ are the best. Period.

Unless you can find a retailer with significantly lower prices, HLJ will serve you well.

I was looking for a Canadian perspective. On the site today I had picked out a couple things like a decal sheet, wheels and another kit just for kicks. The prices seem pretty good but Canadian customs have a way of duty and taxing them so that they cost more.

BTW why are decal sheets so friggin expensive.

Are they made by Studio 27? They're renowned for their quality and thinness.

for me.. 2 model cars, some what 8-10 sets of wheels, and 6 metal exhausts systems comming to a total tax of $10.93Cdn.. which I think is really really good man..

Yeah no kidding. The prices look pretty good but if I was going to get taxed out the ying yang there's not much point. However they have a bunch of stuff that I'm having a hard time finding around here. Maybe I'll give it a try.
