Title: Alert! Alert! The Yen is Getting Hammered!
Post by: BlackWidowPilot on November 18, 2014, 03:26:56 AM
Which is great news for those of us who like sci-fi model kits and such for wargaming!  :D


The Yen is getting beat up in the exchange rates right now versus the Euro, the Dollar, and the Pound Sterling, so now is a good time to put in your orders at HobbyLink Japan:

I'm taking shameless advantage to expand my space fleet from the classic Space battleship Yamato line and the new Yamato 2199 line, as the prices are more than a little ridiculous to be perfectly frank.

C'mon you apes! Ya wanna live forever?!  8)

I sometimes feel like Lead could use a current exchange rate topic to keep track of when to buy where.  ;D

We could but it would be limited to historical exchange rates prior to 1989  :D

google gives you the exchange rate graph going back as far as you will ever need. The thing is other than buying when it is actually low the only use a graph would be is to try predict what its going to do and plan purchases in advance. Honestly throwing darts at a chart would be as accurate.
Like a throw of the dice, its almost like a wargame. Actually I seem to remember something about play by mail games in the old days using stock market numbers for dice rolls?

I know the old Avalon Hill games could, though I think the instructions were usually in The General.

Damn, that WAS a blast from the past!
