Wanted one for ages butr wasn't prepared to pay full price. I got this off an auction for about 40% of retail. :D
 
That looks amazing..

I can't even find a price to pay full retail.. What does somthing like that run?

Curious.
 
reminds me of a Army survival kit lighter from the early 80's... I had a few, but destroyed them trying to change the flint.
 
It runs on normal lighter gas. I used to have a Delta lighter by Windmill but it was ruined with cheap gas. These retail for around $50 in Japan. I got it for $19 more or less.

Obviously it dosent throw out that much light but the glass allows you to move it around if you were looking for something and it dosent get hot.

Flints are easily changed (5 second job)
 
PM me and I will see what I can do for you. I think they are on the auction pretty often from one particular guy. The first one he sent looked like it had been dropped and the top by the threads were dinged in *although it was clearly new). I got my wife to write to him (I live in japan) and even though it was listed as 'No claim, no return' the guy swapped it for another and then gave US good feedback. I guess you can't ask more than that lol.

Yeah, I got one of these from Ryan a few years back. It's a cool little gadget.
 
I havent tried it. I will do a test tonight on burn and brightness compared to a Zippo.
 
OK, I got 3 for a fellow forumite (on their way pal) I got a PM from another guy asking about one. If you can find someone to take delivery and get the money together I will do it for you.

They go for about 2000 Yen each (about $17.50 at todays exchange rate, watch it though it does go up and down a bit)

How does the PM work on this board?

Do you have any extra?

I would love to get one...

Are these made in Japan, or elsewhere in Asia? "Fun in the nature" is a hilariously odd inscription. :)

They are made in Japan, if you want a giggle at their expense try this site

I'm going to be on vacation from next moday for a couple of weeks but if you guys want one email me at

simon@cablenet.ne.jp put MINI LANTERN in the subject so I dont zap it as spam.

and I will get my wife to email the same guy and see what he has available. No promises though on availability or colour
 
I'm Back, give me a couple of days to get in touch with you guys and I will see what I can get.

I don't want to ruffle feathers by selling when I dont have a membership to do so, so once I post the availability pls email me for prices (should be around the same as mentioned before)

To avoid mess I will probably set up a Paypal account but you guys will have to pony up for the commission.
