| Subject: | Like Baseball cards, you buy a box and don't know what you got ..... |  |

until you open the box. A Carton of boxes will have eight to ten boxes and in each box is a different toy or model. For kits like the X-wing, if you buy the entire carton, you get all the parts you need for the X-wing. If you buy the boxes one a week, you may end up with two left upper wings or pehaps two pilots and no noses. At this point I can "trade" with others that bought the boxs to get the parts I am missing.
Most retailers if they know what is coming can sell the entire carton to you. In Hawaii, we have a store called Mecha Hawaii that specializes in gashapon and just about most toy and hobby items from Japan. I plan on buying the entire carton from them when it is released.
Visit thier website at www.mechahawaii.com.
I subscribe to the Japanese magazines Armour Modelling and Model Graphix through this store.
hope this helps,
Aloha,
