You can find these same kits for much, much cheaper then the linked store at kitsusa.us. I don't represent them or anything like that, I just bought a few of these recently and $8

Okay, the really cool thing to do with these would be to:
1) scan each piece
2) enlarge to 1000%
3) make stencils
4) cut out pieces from sheet steel
5) rule the world with your army of giant robot beetles

Hobbylink Japan have them (or, at least, they get them in when someone places an order).
I bought the whole series :-).
