GMC-4 now available from The Maker Shed

Good news!  There is another source for the Otona no Kagaku kits in the US.  It seems that The Maker Shed, the online store for Make Magazine is the exclusive US distributer of Gakken products which includes Otona no Kagaku.  It appears that The Maker Shed is not picking up all the issues of Otona no Kagaku but they are offering issue 24 which features the 4-bit Microcomputer.  The 4-bit microcomputer kit is being offered for $39.95 which is quite reasonable in my mind considering the current exchange rate.

There is a note in the 4-bit Microcomputer product description that warns that there is no English translation available at this time.  Does this mean a translation is in the works?  Until this translation is available, I am willing to help other GMC-4 owners over the language hurdle.  Just send me a message via a blog comment.
