Exactly. We're not talking about your average kiddie schmuck here who wouldn't know where Japan was on a map if you thew an atlas of SE Asia in their face... we're talking about mature collectors here, most of whom either have access to online dealers (such as HLJ) or import stores. Heck, I started hitting import stores when I was 13/14 years old.

Right on the mark again. The Takara reissues are all marked "For Ages 15 and Up" -- if you look at the back of any Japanese reissue packaging, you'll see a little black bar with bold white Japanese writing and the Arabic numeral 15 in the middle of the sentence.. yeah, that's what it says.
