Dear Sir,
I am in the USAF stationed in South Korea, and as such i have gotten a
chance to go to their "outlet" store 3 times,,,each time i get home my wife
keeps telling me that we are gonna need a bigger house...maybe!
Any way i have copied a question posted to the Academy site that you may
be able to use...it probably wont make sense now, but when you get here it
will....here it is: Just make a copy of it and take it with you....
then when you get to Korea, find a highschool aged kid and
ask.......Young-ol Haseo?...Do you speak English,
hopefully he/she will say yes,,,,then show them this letter and explain to
them that you are trying to get to the whole saler store,,,,,,,,hope this
helps you......Trooper

not sure if it is the headquarters or just a large outlet.

Take an extra suitcase or plan on bring back a large box. You will be
amazed at the low price of Academy kits in Korea. For those who do not
know, the number on the side panel of an Academy kit is the price in Won.
About 1100-1200 to the dollar (US). For example, the 1/48 P-47D is 8000
(about $7.00), the 1/48 F-186 is 10000 (about $9.00 ), and the 1/48 Su-27
Russian Knights is 15000 (about $13.00!). The real steal was a couple of
years ago when the exchange rate was about 1800 won to the dollar.
