Yes, Tamiya. But Tamiya, and other overseas manufacturers, don't really deal in trucks and vintage American cars, which make up most of my model-kit buys. Of course, the local HobbyTown has a 1/12th-scale Tamiya Mini Cooper that says, "Buy me, Dan!" every time I walk past it.
I collect diecast, not cardboard. Therefore, I open.
