Same, but they usually carry it when it's already out, so around march next year and I don't want to take that risk. So probably gonna buy it from Square's website.

Well, unless you are buying from the JP store with some kind of service you'll be buying from square. And shipping within the US is cheap no? In the EU it's like 50 bucks, that's how much I paid in shipping for the diorama.

I don't know how they convert from yen to euro/usd, but I hope they'll do it fairly. But let's be honest, they won't. They'll charge a mega markup and won't follow the exchange rate.

It's available directly from HLJ and without the Japanese consumption tax at that.

HLJ? Sorry, I am not an American
EDIT: Oh nvm, I found it, I don't see it on their site though, Oh I found it. Man that conversion is definitely not the current exchange rate. DX would be 1700 euro's but it's 1900 on HLJ

Change the currency to yen and let your bank do the conversion (assuming you have a card with no foreign transaction fees).

Hmmm, I did that but the display price is still in euro. Is this correct? Wouldn't it just now convert euro to yen and charge that to my card? EDIT: Nvm I found it. Wanted to delete this post but you can't apparently

One thing though, won't know how much shipping will be until actual release + import tax and VAT. Think it will be more expensive to order for european people like me from HLJ and services like it.

No, if you change it on their website you should be charged the 250K yen price directly.

Thanks for the heads up on HLJ. I got a 5% off for signing up, bought in yen. Hopefully the shipping isn?t too crazy.

5% from newsletter signup? I thought that was only for instock orders.

I preordered my 1/4 from amazon a long time before release so I am sure they will have it up for preorder if they are going to carry it. Anyone know if this is 2 boxes or 1?
