That's not a bad idea. Mandarake has great deals. I've never dealt with them, but I'm sure some people can vouch for them.
If you don't find anything by searching in English, open Google Translate in a new tab and translate what you want into Japanese before searching. I found a bunch of Kamen Rider belts that way despite not seeing any when I just searched in English. |

They're shipping them to me right now though, so I'll know in a week or so how their services / shipping is. I haven't really seen anything but the brother headers on their site so far... but I'm going to keep looking. I'll prolly get the landic headers + gosei great on Amazon with my gift card. Thanks for the advice =] |

What exactly is Mandrake? Is it like Ebay or something?

Its an online store for a group of stores in Japan that resell people's used or damaged goods.
Usually the stuff on there will have damaged boxes or someone broke the tape seal on it. They indicate in the name of the product what condition it is in. Both of the header brothers sets that I bought had damaged boxes, which I figure would possibly happen in transport anyways. I'll let y'all know how they come out when I recieve them. If your order is less than 5,000 yen before shipping costs, they charge you 500 extra yen for handling. >.> Which I had to do because my total was pretty low. Also, if they ship from different stores, they will ship in different boxes and have their own shipping and handling costs from what I've heard earlier in this thread. I haven't figured out the auction part of it yet though. It appears to only take place at a certain time. I've never dealt with them before yesterday though. This is my first time buying the sentai version of the power rangers zords. |

Yeah the "damage" claims on Mandarake items can be hard to gauge from the descriptions. I've bought "damaged" items with really terrifiying descriptions and it'll end up being a shallow crease on the cardboard. IE better than you'd find on the shelf at a TRU.
I really only stay away from ones labeled "item stained" because I have no idea what the #$%^ that means nor do I want to find out. |

Another (rare) thing to avoid on Mandarake, as I've heard from friends, is the damage marker "nicotine desperation" (or something similar). Generally, anything that's listed to smell like cigarette smoke will absolutely reek to a non-smoker.

Good to know. All I ever came across was Damaged Box Open and Damaged Box Sealed. I really like the idea of the site. I'm interested in seeing how much they price Gosei Great, Gosei Ground, Gosei Wonder, and Gosei Ultimate for.
