I like the Japanese version because I want to display all the girls holding a gun. I don't know why I find that appealing

Just received a payment request from HLJ for my Japanese Edition Baby Doll. Due to weak US dollar (you have to pay in Japanese Yen) total cost with shipping is $460.

Big dollar amount is due to Japanese value added tax, shipping and weak US Dollar value. It's about 74 cents per 100 Yen. I miss when it was about $1 per 100 Yen. That was about 4 or 5 years ago.

I just received the same message. Obviously the piece was heavily allocated so they can't be blamed for all of this. After all they only received 4 statues.
