cool, got mine (same series) 2 years back from e2nd.net as well, comes with a samurai mouse pad.
deadstock or not, it's just a 3001 with 50/50 cotton/poly thread. people who's interested can still get the 3001/3005.
deadstock coz no longer produce and most importantly the price is cheaper (remember this DENIM is FREE, balance leftover from my FREE redmoon wallet funds which 55% of the fund already use to purchase the samurai). now this model is being replace with newer and a lil bit expensive model 3009, (based on info by several TFH hardcore in sufu, sf, ihforum and mynudies they all prefer F3XX series then the 3XXX series)....and yes its a cross between 3001 and 3005. but i dont like 3XXX series because of the arc and patch and remember the price also a bit higher.
anyway for those interested to buy off rakuten, pls email and ask the shop about stock availability first and dont simply purchase. (because several peeps reported that it takes sometimes for them to refund you ! because they ran out of stock)
So email them first, confirm got stock, then only you ask them to reserved plus making payment (either via paypal or credit card off rakuten). Also please be patient coz they are quiet slow in replying email. (when communicating pls use google translator, as most of them dont speak english so u need to write in english translate it in japan and paste it to your email, when they reply in japanese -copy paste and translate it in english using google translator)
and not all rakuten shop willing to do international shipment so u need to ask aswell.
