(...) I just called as of 3pm Mon Oct 30, 2000 and I was told that 4819 will not be available until next year. The operator told me that there was a code of A1 for this set which she had to ask about. I do not know if the information she received (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Your sanity prevails: wheeled vehicles were under extreme restrictions in Japan. In part for the damage they did to the roads, and in part to keep the peasants in their place. Bruce (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

60 sets! Now there's dedication to the cause. Meanwhile, I've called Consumer Affairs (US), and the answer is that their "test" model there has the same marking pattern, so apparently it's intentional. (The representative actually put me on hold in (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

Ug. I already replied to this thread, but It occurred to me that there may also have been a "class taboo" on wheeled transportation. That is, only the emperor or high ranked samurai could use them? Of course, if that were true, then the samurai (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

The shield-void looks like it is intentional. There's a kind of screen printing pattern around it. (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)
