    you grouping this in with a headknocker or a pencil case is absolutely deplorable.

    Amazon.co.jp restricts 1 order of this for USA direct shipping. I just pre-ordered one.

    You will have to create a new account for Amazon Japan to be able to order. There are restrictions on what you can order. Since the DMK kit is a bonus item part of the DOTM Blu-ray exclusive release you're able to order and have it shipped outside Japan as with most Japanese media.

    Beautiful.
    I have the DMK and its incredible. Looks amazing with clear plastic.
    That price tag, on the other hand, is very ugly.

    you have to remember the price also includes a bluray that wont play in a USA bluray or if you dont have bluray your still SOL.

    also bluray in japan are more than usa and the dollar to the yen is not that great right now. it sucks to have to pay for a bluray you cant use but thats the deal when you want something like this, i did it for the amazon rotf black prime last time and was worth it.

    also the shippings was cheap like 15 or 20 for fedex express international and got it in 3 days. sure as shit beats the extra 100 plus shipping bbts is having to tack on.

    I don't know what kind of player you have but my player that I bought at Costco plays Japanese Blu-ray disc fine. North and South America share the same region code as Asia.

    I do not think anyone will buy this to have the BD. This is what is called a model kit that comes with a disc, like figures that come with books.
    A warning to beginners of model kit building: clear plastic is more fragile than regular plastic and thus the model will be even more fragile than the original version (which was quite fragile in the reviews). You have to be more careful with the parts when cutting and assembling as well as posing. I have clear Gundams that can testify to this.

    It may seems as easy as it looks but once 1 of the parts snapped, that's it.
