i haven't been able to find a retailer that carries them locally.

i did ask ted last year when he was still working for wilkinsons and he said they did once try to contact the distributor but the prices they set did not give them much of a profit margin and they did not pursue it any further.

i can only find a listing for a distributor somewhere in california but they seem to ignore emails that are not from a store looking to carry the brand.

so basically i've been getting them from either kong kong or japan through retailers, but have not been able to buy or preorder directly from ignition model because i don't know how to use their online process.

btw, the prices on fleabay are a blatant ripoff. don't buy from there. one of the skylines i have that i got from hk i paid $175 for is going for over $300 and it's not worth that much.
