I was in Korea, back in '95-'96, and there is a really good little hole in the wall shop in waegwan, near Camp Carol. it is just west of the north gate about 1/2-3/4 mile on the north side of the street. there are also a few in Tegu around camp walker. there was a toy store that was rather expensive, but had some super rare kits, and there were two others that had really good prices, but only had a few rare kits, but lots of variety on the run of the mill kits. but they could order anything you wanted, and were VERY helpful. it also helps to know someone that actually speaks the native language because bartoring is quite common in stores in Korea.

while in the army at Camp Carol, I accrued some 200 kits, but they wouldn't let me ship them home because of the whole black market, and customs and all that B.S. so I had some friends that were going to be there a while ship a good majority of them to me via military mail....FOR FREE!!!! hahaha!!!!
