I posted this yesterday but for some reason it disapered.
Has anyone heard of or ordered from this company? They are in japan I want to make sure they are legit before I order. I generally only order from US companies, never ordered from japan before.
Thanks Joe
Hi Joe. I don’t know it but had a look now you’ve asked. There are some online reviews with almost all being positive but noting the company wasn’t well known. It seems to be a grouping of hobby and Japan related entities (gundam, Japanese snacks, trading cards, kawaii products etc…) being run out of Cerulean Tower 11 very near Shibuya in Tokyo (I know the tower well as I used to run through that area regularly when I lived there). The prices look ok and the sweetener seems to be free standard shipping (big consideration for those of us in Oz as shipping can often be as much as the model when coming from US or Europe). It seems to have been around for a couple of years at least, so it’s odd that it’s not better known.
To counter that positive view, ‘scam-detector.com’ gave the ‘plastic models republic’ website a medium low trust value. That doesn’t mean the company is dodgy, just the website raises some flags and caution is advised.
Sorry I can’t be more help.
Hi Sam. what domain did you use to look them up on scam detector? my search came back as they were not able to find it.

Hello…I am in Florida and ordered several Yamato 2199 kits from them back in October. They shipped quickly, and received them also quickly…the shipping was very reasonable also…I would say they are ok and safe to order from.
Reseller ratings also is a place I’ve used in the past to check out vendors.
That may be just a regional thing. I’ve always found very different results from Google and other searches when done here in Oz to other locations.
