Post Can We Order Off the Gargamel Online Store?
I've been trying to translate with Babel fish, but didn't want to go through all the trouble just to learn that they won't ship to the US.

Anyone with any experience here? :?

You can't order off the site. You used to be able to contact them through Baikin to order but I'm not sure if you still can. S7 usually gets the new stuff anyway.

yeah, I sent a note to Kiyoka but he had to forward to some guy named Dennis who could read english better. he was gonna check on stock and get back to me, but I found what I was looking for here on the board.

Gargamel is working on updating the English version of their website. Hopefully, overseas orders will be possible very soon. I will keep you posted. In the meantime, I will be handling all mail to the English info mail address.

Koji, the world needs some clear red Gargadeaths with metallic black/flourescent red spray... help us Koji, you're our only hope!

(or make one out of the nice red color used for the red Hedorah)

Yeah, I did the coloring on the SDCC Gargamess. Inspired by this wind-up dinosaur. I think the factory reproduced the green almost exactly.
