The model, as you have mentioned, are recast one. Their quality I
think may not be perfectly well, but the price is less expense. If you
have contact Japanese shops before, you should know that the price is much
higher. Whereas for your request on Hyperion and Spartanian, I have seen
both. But I think Spartanian is not recast one, it is more expensive than
the 1/3000 Hyperion. I think 1/3000 Hyperion is really a big and wonderful
model as long as you love Yang's Flagship.

Besides, I'm also thinking of any method I can help you guys in
buying those Flagship. But at this stage, I think many HK guys also love
those battleship, so I hardly find any of those ships. But if you can
wait, I can try my best to order them for you guys. Before that, can
anyone who is interested in whose flagship, please email to me. And I can
contact the shop in order to hold or order some stocks. Also if the stocks
are available, can any one of you be a "wholeseller", where I can send the
goods to?

If any one of you have any good idea, please also tell me. Because
HK as least is a bit closer to Japan, we have now quite a lot of LoGH
goods. I hope that distance can not separate our connections if we are all
LoGH friends.
