Will you be stocking T Gauge?

 

How about stocking lots of N Parts?

 

Do we have to pre-pay pre-orders or do you auto bill us via paypal?

web skipper,

 

In the future i will stock other guages and stock parts.

 

you can pay by paypal once the order is  instock.

 

Same as hs you reserve on my site, once it`s in i will package it up and send you payment request.

 

 

If i don`t have a model up for pre-order, just mail me and i will see if i can stock it for you.

Have them reserved elsewhere (temporarily). Wink wink.

new blog out now

[keitaro]

Site update,

 

I have made a few small changes to make browsing easier.

 

First i have added a better sales description in the product page

 

E.g.

it now shows japanese price and english price seperate.

 

in addition to this it shows discount, points earned, manufacturer seperately in an english section.

 

I have also seperated stock left by itself with in stock descrition. (i cannot change the japanese around the number.)

 

 

Also i am going through and updating english names to items slowly as the first thing to appear in the description.

 

This way when browsing the category pages you can see the english name included in the mini description.

 

 

Let me know what you think of the changes.

 

Cheers,

David

Hi David:

 

It was great ordering from you!

 

Perhaps a note on the earning and usage of points will be good on your web store? I think that is missing from the information guide now~

 

Hoped that helps!

[keitaro]

Thanks JR.

 

yes i am actually rebuilding the user guide at this time for some new services i will offer shortly.

 

So when it is ready i will add up.

 

I`m hoping to break the guide up into pages so it doesn`t look so messy.

 

Thanks,

David

Not sure if its a good thing or bad but I was seriously debating the Eva wrap train, and would have likely ordered it if I could have but I can't. Rather suspect thats actually a good thing for my wallet though.

[keitaro]

haha yes i can imagine.

 

It looks kewl i`m a big EVA fan from when i used to watch it back when i was in school on sbs back then it was one of the first japanese anime`s to hit tv in australia.

 

not including things like astro boy etc for childrens.

 

Perhaps i should say one of the first non Children intended anime`s

[JR 500系]

Neon Genesis Evangelion is a fantastic animation! My first contact with Jap anime is the Gundam, but the Eva stayed with me till now. The recent re-make of the Eva with new characters and better looking graphics is just fantastic...

 

This train is smashingly good-looking! Down point will probably be the lack of directional forward and backward lightings...

 

Nice stock-up on the Tomytec cars in Loco1! I reckon the checkered taxis should be running out of stock soon so it will be a good thing to grab them now at a neat price ~~

[ToniBabelony]

Perhaps i should say one of the first non Children intended anime`s

 

Hayao Miyazaki, Osamu Tezuka, Go Nagai, Yoshiyuki Tomino, Shoji Kawamori and Monkey Punch would like to have a word with you.

[keitaro]

are you from australia toni??

 

if not then perhaps you would know that fist of the north star and neon genesis were showed on tv long before most ghibli stuff

 

thats just how it was.

 

there were others before neon genesis but nothing that great.

[ToniBabelony]

Ah, so it was in context of Australia. I did not understand that from your post, since it looked like a general statement.

[JR 500系]

Screen on TV in Australia? Well as least you guys can watch anime right off your Tv screens... Here in Sillypore we got NOTHING Japanese anime, only until recently whereby Gundam Strike was screened about 3 years back... In English that is... You know, it's just not the same...

 

If you liked the series, you must watch the re-make... It's FANTASTIC!

 

Then you'll love to get the train!

 

Then you'll even love more to BE ON the actual train...
