NIB released dec 2009
eBay bargain purchased December 2022.
I believe (from the small extra sticker on the box) that this is the version of the kit which was sold only in Japan. It was the same kit as sold for export except it also included some extra parts so you could install either a one-way or a direct front and center diff to allow you to compete in both domestic and foreign races. Pics and Tamiya blurb provided in the last few photos below, the last one being an extra page provided at the end of the build manual available online from Tamiya (presumably a loose sheet in the box in reality).
