Do they have many different parts to English models? (Obviously they had AC)

now if they got the bits like you can from the japanese websites, it'd be a good game changer over here for style and scene

Nothing at all wrong with Chinese made parts, some of the best stuff comes out of China and to be fair as they have some excellent facilities and infrastructure.
The problem arises when a customer chooses to have their stuff built for the absolute lowest price possible, further cutting costs by forgoing any kind of quality control.
You get what you pay for, as the old saying goes.

It's a weirdly well kept secret, but they've been selling the Valtain part for quite a while, not sure why more people didn't pick up on it. They've had them in their display cases since they moved to their new premises.
