Hidden Gems of the Week
Build-A-Rama BAR266
With over 10,000 products available on our website it's easy to overlook some real gems.

This week's featured items are Build-A-Rama BAR265 & BAR266 - Japanese Flags. The new King & Country Japanese soldiers made me think of the emblematic rising sun flag used by the Imperial Japanese, and I thought those soldiers might have need of such a flag to fly over their base, bunker, or hilltop! BAR265 at $8.99 requires the collector to cut the flags out themselves, while BAR266 at $16.99 comes pre-cut for immediate use. "Banzai!"
