BIG Mistake from Hobby Shop

So I stop at my hobby shop to get a few tamiya paint that I need to finish my project and the lady there tells me that the kits that I order are there already. So I turn to see a stack of 9 cars

When I order the kit I gave her a list of all the cars I was going to by there but not a one time, she understood me wrong when I gave her the sheet and got every car on the list. SO since I was going to get the kits anyways I got them all. It was a little over a hundred dollars worth of kits

Good purchases! I take it you like Skylines?

Being a modellerin Japan must be soooo cool, your orders must come in quite fast. Over here in the UK, I have to wait at least 3 weeks for anything to appear. I suppose that's why I buy from HLJ now.

Got Skyline?

Now there's a mistake you don't see every day.
You're lucky you didn't order 100 models.

yeah I like skylines, plus I should be driving one here soon =)

the lady in the hobby shop talks english, but since I left the sheet with the list she though I ment to order them all. I actually mark the ones I wanted with a start right next to the stock number but she didn't see it I guess. I had eleven models in the list but the other two were not available from what understood from her. It was the falken Skyline and one more. I should have a bad a racing skyline meet here soon. :frog:

is available here she actually had another of those when i pick up this one probably order by someone else. If you want I can go back and check if I can purchase for you it goes for 1600 i think max 2000 but i doubt that much. You would have to pay for this and shipping to where ever you want. I'm in a military base here so shipping would be as if I was shipping from the states.
