Latest Updates

  • Update 26/04/2026: Important changes to shipping to the USA: Normal shipping via Japan Post is enabled again! For that you have to pay duties (currently 10% of the goods total) right in my shop at checkout. You will NOT be charged again upon receiving the parcel, you won't have to answer a UPS call or mail. You just take the delivery from USPS as before the trouble. They do charge an admin fee and I charge a flat ¥600 on to you for now (significantly less than the $15 that UPS charges). So all US shipping rates via Japan Post (incl EMS) have been raised by ¥600, i.e. the shipping cost already inlcudes the fee (US only). The 10% tariff is listed as a separate item on the bill. Please be a little leanient with me if there are some delays or teething problems, everything has to be run through a mobile phone app, there's no other option presently.
  • Update 20/04/2026: Advance information that the NF-104A conversion set re-release (first batch of 50) is scheduled for 26-27 April 2026, all going well.
  • Update 27/01/2026: The new web shop has just gone live.
