Based on the numbers the BOD have published in previous announcements I'm also not surprise that stock is limited and agree it's a promotional product as stated by the BOD in previous announcements. The purpose of these posts and pics is only highlighting what's going on in store abroad and to what degree the wands are available.

"I liked your last photo as it had the true wand kit which is what you want to see as this is the everyday"

I agree that the wand in its original pack is the most authentic unlike some of the packages I've seen my opinion is they tarnish the image a little, I'm also not convinced we have made it until our wand is a permanent fixture on all counters atleast in Japan and China. However, Japan does seem to like a package deal. Most stores I've walked into in Ueno, Tokyo station, Ginza and now Shibuya are littered with package deals. The same can be said for the more high end "looking" counters in department stores however less of these type of packages lining the counter. However still very visible and in the same tacky boxes.

Here are a few tax free stores that are found in close proximity to each other in the main Shibua city. They definitely don't have the same high end appeal as the department stores however seem to function just as the department stores do, three staff in each and you can get your skin analysed etc as you would normally get in the department stores. A little ugly from the front, however very busy even on the second floor or basement where you will find these particular counters.

Stock does range from 1 or 2 right through to maybe 6 or more depending on the store.

That's enough pics for now...
