Actually Shin (not sure how to spell it), the owner of TOA, is probably the one of the biggest T3 collectors in the world. He has a HUGE collection himself of everything that you could possibly ever dream of. How do I know this? I used to sell him a LOT of parts and cars way back when. He also has my NIB/NOS Bandai Squareback toy. A toy that all the Bandai "gurus" said doesn't even exist, until they saw mine 8-O. I know he buys a lot of stuff to re-sell, but he is also an avid collector/enthusiast. No matter where you live, as long as you love the T3, you are OK in my book. You name it, he has it in a NOS form I'm sure, probaby in doubles. He almost had #10 as well and made a large offer for it back when I first found/bought it. A lot of the cars I restored/cleaned up/found went to him. Once I get a scanner, I can show you guys a few. -Patrick D. ----- Original Message ----- > On Tuesday, February 17, 2004, at 11:16 PM, Parker-Durost wrote: > > > I say more power to the Japanese, or British for that matter who seem > > to import rust free cars too.
