Title: English Leopold - Soon possible to order 87U and 104U
Post by: 002 on Tue, 26 April 2011, 00:25:16

For those of you who were wondering what the purpose of the English Leopold site is, I went ahead and e-mailed them to see what they had to say.

As it turns out, this site will soon have the facility to purchase Realforce 87U and 104U boards directly (without the need for an expensive Korean buying agent).
It also looks like they will have the FC series which includes the 200R Tenkeyless, 400R 108 JIS and 500R 104 ANSI boards.

Keep your eyes on http://www.leopold.co.jp/
I'll post here if I hear any more info on when it will be possible to order.

i love websites with full image even for the text.
The most stupid way to make a website...
(i have found stupidest : flash for static pages -photos and text- for a french website).

Leopold is japanese ? i thought they were korean.

Nice, shame the 87u will still be massively overpriced..

It will be overpriced, but I will still probably purchase one.  Mainly for the "good feeling of oneness with cup rubber".

Alright!!!! Always found Leopolds international shipment policy puzzling:

1.  Yes, we will ship internationally.
2.  No, we will not take foreign payments.

 

Good, this mean they give it for free...:happy:

BTW onlinecomponents in the US has the same (odd) policy

Taeyeon's real...she's not my gf though.
