So much for easily-available standard parts.

I'd say "Yikes!" but what do I know? What I do know is that that is no Korky fill valve or flapper. And the trip handle is -- what? -- Hydraulic?
I imagine it's all good quality, but I'm pretty sure I'm not finding any of that stuff at Lowe's. Sadly, this runs the risk of knocking this toilet into the "niche model" category.
Given the good pricing, I had the impression that Toto was shooting for wide adoption. And maybe they will get it, given that people seem less concerned than we are when they buy some random-parts Costco toilet with a weird flush valve. But I just lost one of my big selling points when evangelizing Toto products.
Terry -- what do you think? What have you heard?
PS Installation instructions -- new pages 6-7 in Drake manual, obviously written by native Japanese speakers, replete with typos (You may have one of the following two fill valves, Type A, B or C). They call the thing that attaches to the trip handle a "gear box". Hmmmm.... Installation Manual
