There's a 55-300mm in the picture, but not in the description... better double check on that.
I recently purchased K-x while holiday in Tokyo, they do provide International warranty, for my case the store staff automatically filled out the international warranty and took back the local warranty copy.
Infact, Yodobashi put up a sign in their store Pentax International Warranty is available upon request and even provide a copy of English manual in additional to the Japanese manual (English manual only available from Yodobashi) together with the international warranty.
I think international warranty is readily available in Japan for Pentax, but I think you need to ask for it, I suggest you write to them to ask before placing your order.

Why doesn't Amazon.com offer International Warranty by default to its international customers, I wonder?!! They are one of the world's biggest online retailers after all. Maybe they could sell it for a small affordable premium instead - say about 5% to 10% of item value?!! They would sell considerably more, I feel.
I kinda of suspect international warranty is upon request, Pentax give limited copies of international warranty to the retailers and for set that is taken out of the country because if the product is sold to local customer (i.e. Japanese customer buying from Japan Amazon) than the local warranty will suffice. If you are shipping to Vpost Japan, than they would not know is for international, i.e. you need to request from them ahead of the order.

All I had to do was to send them a scan of the receipt and my Singapore address, and they sent the international warranty card by snail mail.
Not too hard right?

I emailed this guy back in April, I hope he's still with Pentax USA! (Joe.Virgil@pentax.com)
I emailed him a scan of the B&H invoice on the left, and received the international warranty card on the right. The invoice is in my dad's name since I paid with his credit card, but the international warranty card is nameless, though it contains the warranty start date based on the invoice date. I suppose I'll have to furnish a copy of the invoice should I require servicing outside of USA, but I never used it when I was in Singapore from April till September.
Sorry for the messy table, too busy studying!

Thanks for the info, now it puts everyone who ordered the kx from Amazon in ease
So should we send an email to Joe or should we send it to a generic group email instead?

Here's the instruction on Pentax USA website
International Warranty Card
New PENTAX products do not automatically come with an international warranty that covers all PENTAX products around the world. However, it is possible to obtain an International Warranty Card through PENTAX Imaging Company after you have purchased a PENTAX product. If you bought your PENTAX product in the United States and are traveling to a foreign country for an extended period of time, we can send you an International Warranty Card to cover your product while you are abroad. We will also send you a list of authorized service centers around the world.
To obtain an International Warranty Card, please send the below-listed items to PENTAX Imaging Company, 600 12th Street, Suite 300, Golden, CO 80401:
A copy of your dated proof of purchase, with the name and address of the U.S. dealer.
The serial number on your PENTAX product (if it has one).
I suppose it wouldn't hurt to contact Joe Virgil and see if he can help out via email. Otherwise you might have to fax it to their number or mail it to their address. This information is available at this thread.
HTH!

Expect to pay SGD$40 or more. I would say $940 (kit) + $40 (vpost) + $70 gst, maybe $1050 if lucky. Only if you want the white, else amazon usa black kit cheaper
