    Holy crap, I had tried to buy them on Amazon JP a week ago but they wouldnt ship to the US even though it was fullfilled by AmazonJP.

    I just tried your link and two sellers had the set shipped to the US for:
    Order Summary
    Item(s) Subtotal:
    ¥ 11,111
    Shipping & Handling:
    ¥ 1,200
    Grand Total:
    ¥ 12,311


    Way less than NY so I grabbed a set fast, thanks for the heads up dude!

    This is whats so great about these forums, fans helping each other out.

    That's nothing.. Arad's 31s started at 22k yen then jumped to roughly 38k yen many days later when the Silpheed Armour was announced.

    Bandai is going to nickel and dime us on the accessories regardless and NY is going to at least triple/quadruple the price on the stuff that are hot sellers. :horse:

    Gotta love a detolf. I still choose to spend the money on toys instead but one of these days I'll join the club of the professionally displayed toys.

    My wife just yelled at me last night when I got home from business travel. She was like, "I went into the basement..." Apparently my toys were all over so I told her I would buy a couple more Detolfs HA. I'm OCD enough not to just throw them in there. But I had unboxed a bunch of toys that had been stored the last few months. Don't think she realized how much I had. o_O :lolol :bay

    I hear you! But being able to see all your toys displayed nicely is a joy as well.

    It is totally awesome to see, but whenever I think of buying nice shelves it always seems I have another figure I want instead! Oh well, one day I'll look respectable!

    For now, I have more than I could afford to buy detolfs for anyway so I keep most stuff in box until I feel like taking something out for a spin. It's actually kind of fun to get out an item I haven't seen in awhile and get that old "Xmas morning present opening" sensation!

    Totally understandable. If I were to buy enough detolfs to put my entire collection, they wouldn't even fit on my entire property and I would need hundreds of them, lol! BUt, it's still good to have some display space that you can rotate toys onto.

    You don't want to know. But in case you do.
