There's a freaking army of people on here from the USA, lol. You haven't made one friend on here?
Seriously though, i reckon this could be the bargain of the year. I have a friend in the US who distributes HLJ products, and i am considering asking him to pick one up for me and resend it as he did before with my original from Sideshow.
So i'd have one on show, and one to take apart and add a hover conversion to...

Nope lol can't say i use this site as much to converse anymore just to see pics and or news. Price is tempting but direct would certainly kill it like you say

unless you can find someone in the uk selling theirs, the cheapest ive seen it is £600.

Half the folks selling theirs around that price are collection only, and live down south and even then don't want to ship it regardless if i offer to arrange pick up as they can't be arsed packing it lol.

you can buy it from toyhq for £600!!! I dont think those guys really want to sell it and think thats a bit much for a secondhand one. I think postage cost from toyhq was about £15 IIRC.

Yeah i know postage is £25. Anything over 600 is too much IMO considering my go to uk seller had it for 480 posted. ALso not to mention the possibility of the BTTF2 version looming and a chance at retail cost again. I only initially passed as had other commitments when it first went up for order, regretting that now.

its where i got mine from. they put it in another box too not that it really needed it, but its a nice peace of mind. I was suprised at how low the postage was. I was expecting double that really, especially for next day guaranteed before midday

I am sure it's great peace of mind.
I'd rather get one from japan sent to america then sent back to me with no charges for just over $700, than buy one for $900 in country, lol.

What about the possibility of a charge getting into the states? Can't say i know a whole lot on how their import system works.

I paid way less than the now £600 price tag. But yeah, I would too.

their import limit is higher than ours.

at this stage I would only pick another if it were cheaper than sideshows price.

Got mine in yesterday and didn't get a chance to open it until today. All I can say is WOW this thing is huge! Box and the car. Didn't take any pics cause I'm back at work again but I will tomorrow. Glad it's finally here.

And it's here!! took 6 days EMS! USD570 shipped from Japan (HLJ)!!! No import tax!
Looking at 289/490 - Is that how many they produced? Internationally? or just for Japan? Anyone got a higher number than 490?
BTW, the box was a lot smaller than other cars! - good for box storage space.

HLJ is huge so my guess is they got at least 490 of these in.....

Any damage to the shipping box?

Haha. Fair enough.

I received my tire decals from Bad Mother Customs and applied those earlier this evening. I'm glad Hunter included extras as I did a shoddy job on one.







Already dusty :/

I haven't opened my decals yet. I didn't realise they wouldn't be a clear background So, they just look like stickers?
