Total with DHL/Fedex shipping to US and fees came out to be Yen 35K. Is that a good deal on this?

Considering Japan Post has temporarily suspended shipping to US , its not a bad deal. I buy just about every metal build gundam that comes out and DHL/Fedex is usually $30-40 when EMS doesnt work out. Decent deal giving our current situation. They also dont charge tax like evilbay does

Those reseller scabs on eBay are paying a 10% fee to eBay. So scabby yes, but not as scabby as it sounds.

Scabby enough for them to go snatch a pre order only to resell it ....I understand the fees with ebay but some people just buy these to profit and it pisses me off. Dont get me started on the Metal Structure gundam resellers right now

This item is a TWE P-bandai item.. it's make to order from their online site. 

so if they did not preorder it.  you will not be able to buy it later..

These are not over the counter regular release.. :p

Keep in mind this is coming from one the angriest people that you have ever run into.........that is trying not to be that way because it sucks. The last time I gave this advice I was accused of being combative when in fact I was just trying to help.

I choose not to be mad at scalpers just like I choose not to be mad at the Sun for coming up in the east. Both are inevitable.

Now I only have about a million more things to not be mad about to go.:lol:

True. Sad to say that's probably our new norm when it comes to finding cheaper place to buy only to pay more later for what shipping method is available for us. If only EMS or SAL is still available, it's practical to order it abroad. But with the current shipping cost for let's say DHL, it just caught up with the US pricing. :unsure:

yeah, the TAx is killing some of the deals in the USA,  

To be honest, I really don't mind getting it here as long that it's widely available and easy to purchase including preordering it. Because if ever there's something wrong with the product the returns and refunds are easy to do than the ones abroad. And I guess on my part, my purchases is more controllable, or limited for that matter due to the price, than getting it from abroad due to the mindset of us seeing the price 'cheaper' than in the US.

yeah, I agree on that one.. if the price is close enough, I would preorder it from USA because of easy returns or you can easily contact Bluefin too.

And right now, the price is getting closer and closer due to the shipping cost.   :(
