Funny Zoukei-Mura calls it a "Revolution", which is actually it is not. Rabustore had these photo etch sets long before http://www.radubstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=77_117&products_id=410&zenid=ac733b2647bc03049e7fae4a5671e519

Hi Arseny
You can't blame ZM for trying to make a bit of splash - "Another set of wood stencils" doesn't have quite the same ring to it in marketing speak, does it.
All the best
