Hey H, I don't think that it's hit our side of the pond yet, mate...it's listed on Hobby Search Japan now...it should hit the US soon, and probably through DML USA or Stevens first...

(I have never ordered from them, have no clue about reliability or shipping charges)

HobbyLink Japan

Listed for 3200 yen, close to 30$ USD. I did order from them once; shipping charges are a tad hard to figure out, but you can still get good prices.
