Looks like you have another unobtanium at the moment, Kosutte-Ginsan. I can't even find it on any local Japanese sites, either. Everyone is all sold out at the moment. Maybe Work can't supply the demand for it. I can't see how another manufacturer doesn't make at least a similar product.

A while ago, Canada got a hold of F60 kits before Japan did, and I'm guessing the Canadian distributor used an air service instead of surface.
Funny you should mention that. I noticed even the same # kit might have a different place of manufacture (Japan or Phillipines). Although, most of my Tamiya kits are Made in Japan (and I've got quite a few).
