| Gerns,
Many of the parts for the Voyager IMZ will be hard to get because they'll only be available in Japan. However, I think in Japan parts availability will be fine. Shipping is just expensive!
The unique parts for the IMZ are the main frames, the push-pull for the servos, the main rotor head, the main rotor shaft, the spindle shaft, the clutch pinion, the tail drive pinion, the split gears, the HG auto unit and the canopy. The tail gear box is the HG version but is also available in the US. There are many parts that are the same as the Ergo or the Voyager like the main bearing blocks, clutch shaft bearing blocks, tail drive gear bearing blocks, landing gear(it's the low profile version), motor mount, clutch, clutch bell, fan, fan hub, some of the main frame spacers, boom support, tail fins, boom clamps, battery tray, body mount stand-offs, fan shroud, flybar, flybar paddles, flybar see-saw, swashplate, wash-out arms, tail pitch lever, tail pitch slider, tail hub, tail blade grips, mixing arms(they're the aluminum version but are available in the US)etc.
The only problem I see is that the spindle shaft, main shaft and blade grip pitch arms are unique. These are parts likely to be broken in a crash. I would highly recommend ordering at least 2 spares of each(4 of the arms). It doesn't add that much to the price of the kit and since you have to pay high shipping already it makes sense to pack some of that stuff with the kit order.
Hope that helps.
