Did Taito make a C-3PO pencil sharpener or toothpick dispenser to go with the R2 clock?

I had no intention, NO intention at all to buy this threepio, but after reading through this thread. Damn! I want to buy one now! You guys are a bunch of enablers!

It's no big secret, I have mentioned it several times in the thread. I have gotten mine from Amazon.co.jp and there are a few still availible and there's always a few on yahoo auctions. I bought the Tamiya 1/6 Honda CB750 FOUR kit to go with the coming HT Terminator and added a couple of clocks.
You wil need to use a proxy but it will still be much cheaper than that other place I can't remember the name of right now (japtou?) that has it for $60-70? The price is so low anyway that the fees will be small.
Shoppingmall japan even has a US warehouse so shipping costs should be low.

Every time I search for one on Amazon.co.jp I come up empty, including now. Shoppingmalljapan is a mess of a site, but that aside, also no search results.
EDIT: OK, found one on Amazon. Wasn't coming up with a search on the site, but searching via yahoo I found an Amazon link for the product. ~$12-13 shipping on top of the $24/25 price.

I give up.
Can't figure it out! Trying to do this from work on my iphone doesn't help either.

If you take that URL and paste it into the URL box at shoppingmalljapan, it will give you the details and ability to buy it after signing up. Looks like an $8 commission, plus shipping (which wasn't displayed when I tested).

Ummmm yeah..... That is probably the most confusing website I have ever seen. I registered. Confirmed. Now it wants a deposit. A bit more than "just sign up". 
It also appears the piece is used and the description says "paint missing". Overall quality is 2 out of 5 stars. Meaning "Item has accessories missing, part scratches, and conspicuous dirt showing considerable usability."
Thanks for the link though.

That is a bit of a pain, but a deposit is a given with all the proxies. But you can deposit a sum with your credit card, then you have that sum as credit on SMJ. When all is done you get an invoice via e-mail and then you allow them to draw it from the credit card. So you don't have to send money in advance.
I couldn't even find a link to set up the deposit. The site is a bit of a study in information overload and hide-and-seek purchasing protocol.
