If Micro Sizers is the US equivalent to the Japanees Tomy, then how come

Ya know it wouldn't surprise me if Mercedes Benz said that the only way they release the rights if if they only sell em in Germany.
They're like that.

why does hobbico market them here as a stupid toy and as a hobby over there? wtf.
well i guess selling a few million to stupid fat kids here is better than a few hundred enthusiastic dicks. if you are a corporate yuppy at least.

But RS got the rights to do one.
My guess, is MS germany is a different company with a different management team than MS US which is run by Hobbico. They're probably just meeting the demands of their market.

That might be why right there. Maybe RS got exclusive US rights for the Benz, so Microsizers can't do that here.

I agree. There are the two older skylines that I like, but I'm pretty much sick of the two newer ones. Unfortunately, the new one comes with the booster sets in Japan, so, I've accumulated many of them. I use them for test bodies for painting and such. My tests lately seem to produce good results where my actual projects have flopped sometimes. Now I've got all these nicely painted skylines and less veriety from the other paint jobs I do. I hate having all these well painted skylines. It pisses me off.
