Bye Bye HWJ..Hobby World Japan is closing
Just saw this on their website today... sad to see.
These guys used to get most of my business when they were the only online shop offering the standard 20% off Japanese retail prices. Heres what they posted : Notice of Store Closure Effective Thuesday, March 15, 2011 we will be closing HW JAPAN: Oversea customer exclusive hobby online store. We will take order until 8:00 am Tuesday, March 15 in Japan time. All orders paid before 0:00am Wednesday, March 16 in Japan time, will be shipped by Thursday, March 17. However, other orders will be cancelled authomatically without notification. If you need to ship any items of existing orders, please request us by e-mail as soon as possible. Any inconvenience occurs after the closure, please contact Mr. YOSHIDA at [email protected], but please note that we no longer accept any order. We really appriciated your support all these years. We wish we could see you someday when we restart our online shop. For now, it is inevitable to close our shop with our parent company policy. What does that last line mean??... their parent company is Aoshima... I hope they aren't in any financial trouble. Regards, Dan

Probably the strong Yen and Hong Kong competition hurting all the Japanese export retailers.

Re: Bye Bye HWJ..Hobby World Japan is closing
Think they knew the eartquake/tsunami was going to happen so they high tailed it out of town? lol Sorry, I know that is in bad taste, but I just had to.
I have never ordered anything from there personally, but I have several friends that order all the time. They'll not be to happy. On a side note, I suppose ALL of Japan's mail order/internet sales will be placed on hold indefinitely, or canceled all together.
