The right part for the job
It took some research to determine that this particular item is the one I needed. My car is older and an uncommon model, and there are several very similar water valves (do your homework). I could not find this part anywhere else (I checked 5 auto parts stores in town, and scoured the net), but I didn't check the dealer (for fear of high cost). The shipping time from Japan was better than predicted (I suspect they predict long, so people are happy when it comes in early), but there was still a (reasonable) wait. When there is no other place to get the part, the price/value are automatically "good". It appears to be a genuine Toyota (parent company for my Lexus) part, so the quality is presumed good as well (no reason to think otherwise).
Blessings

Meh
I thought T200 was more that it is. They are too light duty for what I wanted, but, they are properly described in the listing. And I thought "Hotel Grade" would be better than this. I did not really know what I was ordering. So, even though I don't really like the product, I give it 4 stars, to be fair.

Excellent Film Selection. Very Good Quality. See Notes About Subtitles
1 of 1 found this helpful I am mostly pleased with this purchase.
Occasionally, with foreign editions, the quality of the English subtitles is subpar. These English subtitles (I'm a native English speaker, but, I'm older, and I like subtitles so I don't miss anything) match the dialog 98% - plenty good enough - for the 4 films that have them.
Please note that 6 of the films are "silent". None of these have English Subtitles. Five of the six use title-cards. "The Gold Rush" was originally silent (presumably with title-cards). But, in 1942 Chalpin released a version which he narrated (spoken English). This is the version included in this set of movies. This version has no title-cards. And since none of the the "silent" films have English subtitles, there is no written English for the spoken English for this one film. 'Modern Times" has mostly title-cards. However, Chaplin includes a little spoken "Electronic English". This consisted of speaking originating from Radios, TVs and Phonographs. This spoken Electronic English is EXcluded from the title-cards, and again there are no English subtitles for the "silent" films.
Fortunately the sound quality was thoroughly and entirely adequate.
The video quality was excellent.
Overall this Korean edition did an good job copying the films.
So that leads us to the genius of Charlie Chaplin. He had a knack for understanding how to "reach" his audiences. Beyond his insight into people, he had genuine insight into the world and its situations. He knew when and how to be - by today's standards - "politically incorrect". Due to his early financial success, much of his work was done in his own studios, so he didn't have investors or producers, or the US government (he had "offended" J. Edgar Hoover, due to differing political views) "shaping" his work. To our benefit.
I got to realizing that I had never seen the entirety of ANY of his films, but only "snippets" in reviews, award shows and other sources of commentary. I did, only recently, see the 1992 bio-pic, docu-drama about his life. I realized it was time to see at least his best works. The only film that I would want to also be included in this set is 'A Countess from Hong Kong', which was his last film. I purchased it separately.
The total count of his works, varies. Numerous lists cite 82, that were "his". I gather this mean he wrote them. In addition, for all but a few, he also directed; for most, he wrote the music; and for many, he produced them. Truly a man of many talents, and all at the genius level.
I came up with a list of 94 releases (not counting the 1992 bio-pic, docu-drama), including those made about him or are the work others, such as compilations or commentaries. A couple were even made by the studios he worded for (before he has his own studios) from unfinished works they possessed, after he left the studio. I decided, for now, not to seek out all 94. I always can, later.
I recommend this collection - provided you understand the availability of written English for the films. I'm happy to have the set.
