I've heard all of those stories about the Kokushi before. I think the "unlucky" one might be true...for the person who dealt into it. In one of my earliest 3P games, before I understood how big the hands get, I got a Counted (Kazoe) Yakuman and in the next turn, dealt into a Kokushi while trying to meld a Pei using the Kita move. :O
I've never dealt into a Yakuman accidentally yet, except for that one case which was cheap because I didn't know melding Pei acted like a Chankan. :/

I don't think you'll find many people who use MT in this day and age. I myself haven't used it regularly since early 2007. I only stop by once in a while to show off. :X

That was the link I wanted to ask about. Is that the best place to buy a set from? |
It is one of the cheapest stores within Google reach, I will say that.
http://www.japanese-mahjong.com/ tends to have better sets, although it is pricier.
There is no direct route to a good set, though. You'll need to find an intermediary and a yahoo auctioneer willing to cooperate with one. My sister is in Japan right now, geared up to purchase a good set for me. It's not an easy task!
