Hey Bob,
you can also get MK kits from Japan (hobby-net), but the exchange rate is CONSIDERABLY more favorable from Singapore hobbies. I highly recommend them. I've bought at least 8 MK kits from them - say 'hi' to Frederick Yong (the proprietor).
By the way, you'll get your MK kit usually in 10-14 days from the time you order it (assuming it is in stock). They have had several out of production MK kits available, too.
Happy shopping :-)
