Hmm...Thanks Joe, but not a fan of the rims. The prices are bloody cheap! Whats the catch?

The catch is waiting a month for the damn kit to arrive at your house :p I have just placed a large order at HLJ myself. I hope it doesnt take too long this time.

Got my stuff in about 2 weeks (to Australia). But, it was a couple of rims. I suppose if you add on the postage costs, it works out to the price of a kit bought locally - only thing is you have so much more of a variety ordering from Japan.

agree!!!
btw, you can try Hobbyworld, my order just arrived, less than 7 days (they shipped it on last Tuesday, and arrived at my house today)......what a fast.......
but there are 2 drawbacks:
1) the contact person does not write good english than hlj.com. The person is a japanese, and some kind, she may mix up the items name and quantity. It requires a lot of check=>email=>confirm=>reply......
However, I prefer Hobbyworld than hlj.com, since you are contacting with a person, not just only the status checking page like hlj......hlj did screw my order last time (they seperated my order and shipped it twice......i got double shipping cost on just 2 items. WTF.
2) they charge 500yen handling cost. And shipping 1 kit in SAL is 1300yen......comparing to hlj which usually charges 800-1000yen, hobbyworld is pretty expensive, but since Hobbyworld is Aoshima's subcompany, they have pretty good stocks of aoshima rare kits.
enjoy!

When u guys ordered from HLJ were all your items in stock or did they have to be back ordered? I have just checked the status of my order and every single item I have ordered is out of stock and is on back order :zx11pisse

most of them are backorder. and when some items have stock, some still are in backorder.......then you will find 1/2 days later, the one in backorder has stocks......but the others are gone......
hope you understand what i mean. :)

may be could you tell me what is in your order?
I have ordered an Aoshima wing set, Fujimi Advan RG rims, 2 cans of Tamiya white primer, Gundam marker for panel lines and an A'pex N1 muffler. Plus there are a few military model kits (in stock) on there for my Dad.
