Hobby Link Japan?
Is it a good place to buy Bits from? They always have things first and they have some great prices, but I remember hearing that they can sometimes take many weeks to get it to you....anyone with knowledge or experience would be helpful...thanks.

Err, sorry, didn't mean to sound like a total newbie to the scene. I know everything there is to know about them, and I know about clones, etc., but I was just curious about buying specifically from them because I've been waiting to get the AUto Modelista set and they have it the cheapest.

ok I can`t tell the future ok, but after reading some of the bad experience people had you need to watch yourself. I know e-bay sellers dig it to the buyers with prices and shipping. The buyer always needs to be AWARE!

I ordered a char-g from toy-island for 42 total. They tell me they will ship it tomorrow. I know it's probably 10 bucks more than HLJ but that extra 10 gets the item to you quickly. I don't know if you guys are like me but when I order something I'm willing to pay a little more to get it fast. I sold my microsizer to a friend so I could get a true Jap car :P
My set up.
Char-g s2000 silver 35mhz
Black Skyline body

Usagi man I posted this a couple of days ago for you too see. This is the link to a Japanese Char-g commercial. I was wondering if you could listen to it and type here in forum what they are saying http://home.netvigator.com/~s1014118/bitcharg.mpeg
