So a little while back I wanted a particular Ignition 1:18 model and it was crazy like $450+ on eBay so I kept looking around and found it in a Japanese website for way way way less... Was asking a friend in Japan to maybe get it for me and she pointed me to this website I've never seen mentioned here before:
http://www.buysmartjapan.com
They are attached to numerous Japanese stores including some toy stores and they tack on a pretty small fee for processing your order and shipping is totally reasonable, I ordered my model and paid PayPal and got a confirmation email but heard nothing for a couple weeks almost so I was getting a bit worried but I got a tracking number the other day and it's almost here so I think it will all work out. Will post later to confirm. The important thing to note is their model prices are super cheap from some of the vendors they deal with, like $70 or less for some of the Mark43 models etc.
