I am really liking what I am seeing and would like to add some of these models (ie Nissan GTR and Countach) to my collection. Where are a website or 2 where I can order these? TIA!

If it is just a few cars here and there I would just check with the ebay stores. A friend of mine has a source in Japan that hooks him up but the catch is that we have buy complete sets.

i bought several cars from the ebay seller "bewith2006" so far he has been reliable and ships relatively quickly. his prices are pretty good. its always fun to read his emails (probably translated by computer to english)
here is his answer when i asked if the car had wheels because they weren't in the picture.
"yes,It adheres in the image though it doesn't see. It is shielded."

huh??? mj

I ordered many of my Kyoshos from Japanese sellers on ebay and also find their English amusing. Quite some of them from the above mentioned seller (bewith2006) and have a good experience with her (I think she's a girl from her eBay profile picture... but I'm not sure :p ). I haven't had a single problem with sellers from Japan, sometimes they even include a little present in a package. But be sure to check the shipping costs, as they vary between sellers.

And the other source I can recommend is Henry's web shop:

Prices could be slightly higher but service and packaging are first class.

hey i never looked at bewith's profile page!! i think i'll save on shipping and go to nagano jp. and get my kyoshos!! domo arigato. mj

E bay is the best option, from Japan there are plenty of sellers who offers Kyosho releases at good prices, but if you accept a little advice do not rush to bid or buy, compare prices and shipping cost.
When a new kyosho set is released, prices in the first days are very high and several days later are lower, so pacience please.
And totally agree with Superbird, Japan sellers are great, absolutely no problem with them in my large e-bay history.

:lol::lol: Beware!! Maybe it's just a trap... to attract more costumers. :p
But honestly, I would LOVE to go to Japan someday... there's just something special about this country - interesting mixture of hi-tech and tradition. Maybe we should organize an educational trip to Japan, and pick up some Kyoshos on the way. ;)

Tiny Toy Cars is where I ordered my American Muscle cars from.

I got a lot of Kyoshos from bewith specially the early releases.

If you're looking for GTR and the Countach, some of the regular Beads are available in Ebay but you'll have to get a local source for the exclusive issues.

I have gotten mine from either Henri or ebay. Also I get the Kyosho Beads which are the cream of the crop from a couple of Japanese Hobby websites, but be prepared to pay big money with the shipping charges.
