(Speaking of Australia: What are the Bit Char-G's liscensed as in Oz? i.e. - Bit char-G in Japan, Microsizers in US and _____ in Australia.

Have a friend there looking for a bit there in the unique Aussie freq)

They are sold as Tomy "compact Char-G" in Australia, and come in the "elusive" 40Mhz band.

Kudos on the store locator!
It turns out that I work about a mile and a half from a store that sells Microsizer parts! I will be stopping by tomorrow on my way home to see what's hot!
I've had trouble finding more ZZ F&F kits in stock at my local Rad Shmacks.

If anyone would issue me a credit card, I'd be ordering stuff from QFM in a heartbeat, trust me on that. They really seem to have their act together.

It means well done.
As in, the store locator was usefull and cool.

The hobby shop near my work has some great stuff, and I have been brining my shen up to speed! (pun intentional)

Next to get is the blue and clear shen bodies. I'd like to try my hand at a custom job, and the blue body is just nice.

And hey, six bucks! I'd be crazy NOT to!

I went to New Concept III Hobbies & Mental Skate Shop in Medford.
