Are you SURE you don't want to set up a distributorship/import business??? Evil [}:)]

We could make a killing.[:0]
Just think, living in the lap of luxury, fast cars, hot woman, fine wine, hot tubs all day long. Wink [;)]

We could make Tamiya famous.

Oh yea, they already are. Oh well it was an idea anyways Tongue [:P]

Well I think I can top that, Hulk
Just for your information, this Saturday is the grand opening of Larry's Sunoco Station here....3 service bays plus coloring books in the waiting room. The first 50 customers will get a free map of the town and a squeegee.

Just wanted to let you know you're not the only one who lives within 15 minutes of Heaven........ Smile [:)]

Sexton? What, one of those things mariners use to plot their positions at sea using the heavenly bodies? Oh, that's a SEXTANT.

Baddaboom.
Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week! Big Smile [:D]

When you're talking with them as you're making you're twice daily trip just to smell the plastic. Keep whispering in the ears .... SEXTON ....SEXTON ...SEXTON.

Maybe someone will get the hint.

P.S. Did I mention the word Sexton

Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

TAMIYA WORLD opens in Osaka!

Posted by J-Hulk on Thursday, August 28, 2003 10:20 AM

Hi, folks! Smile [:)]

Just went over to check out the Tamiya website, and the main topic was the opening of Tamiya World here in Osaka on August 27!

3 floors of Tamiya products, plus hobby finishing supplies, books... you name it! And the best thing about it? It's a 15-minute walk from my house here in Namba! Big Smile [:D]

Here's a quick pic of one of the floors from the Tamiya website:

Look at all those models!

I know, I know, ya'll are thinking, "yeah, yeah, that's great, J-Hulk...but most of us don't live in Osaka!" Actually, Dean's the only FSMer I know who lives around here...but what this means for the good of the FSM modeling community is now I have better access than ever to Tamiya staff, so I can do more to help ya'll out with any questions or requests you might have concerning Tamiya and their products, moreso than I can do with the othe great hobby shops in the area that merely carry Tamiya products.

I can pop in to this new location on the way home from work any day of the week with a quick question for the Tamiya staff, and have the answers posted that night! Big Smile [:D]

So, as always, if there's anything I can do to help ya out (short of setting up a distributorship!) from my position here in Japan, feel free to contact me. I'll do my best to answer or get the answers to any questions you might have.

THREE FLOORS OF TAMIYA!!! Big Smile [:D]

I'll give ya the shop report tomorrow! Tongue [:P]
