Hm, according to my HK contacts, 4464 was one of the LEAST desirable over there, so I was assuming someone from HK would have been able to get plenty of them. I also heard that the leftovers were returned to the distributor in HK, and that they would NOT sell them to individuals, they were just going to give them to one or more employees, so I was hoping those employees somehow ended up reading my message... What are the differences, besides the playing field, between the HK and Japan sets? Since mine didn't come in the resealable bottle-mount packs, just their individual bags, I didn't see any differences. In any case, I'm sticking by my offer, hoping someone happened on a cache of 4464s, and wants a complete set quickly rather than trading one at a time until they complete one. If I were worried about the MONEY, I'd sell the sets off from a complete set individually - that can easily clear me $200 on Ebay. It's not about the money, it's about getting the packs I really want while helping someone else get a complete set.
