I just have that kind of luck so I'd say go for the cheaper one.

Just keep an eye out for them on Mandarake. They go for ¥3000 when they're in stock. ¥2500 for a bent box.

wow, really? I can't remember how much the one I saw a while ago was, but I thought it was more like 5,000 Yen, but I could very easily be totally, totally wrong. And have checking at least once a day for a few weeks now. I shall endeavor to be patient.

Last week I put together the Shinkenger mechs. And this past weekend I did Kabuto and Swordfish, but didn't get to Tora.

I really dig that this version of Shinkenoh is more poseable than the DX, though I still find myself wanting the DX version for the beast modes. Really, I guess it's just the Dragon I want, because I'm a sucker for Dragons.

That is the key with Mandarake.

Last week Weds was the last time it was available.

Up until mid-March, it was available often. I think the stock dried up being an exclusive. Now, they just pop up here and there. And when it's available, it's gone at a blink of an eye. But with some perseverance, I'm sure you can get one at that price. :)

Do you have a link cause I can't find it.

Nice.

Check my previous post. :)

Yeah you did that kinda fast.
I wish I could see the shipping prices.

With the size and all, it will probably be around ¥1500 using EMS. But if you buy more items, shipping come in to your favor. I usually order something and while the order is open I ask a few people here and on other sites if they wish to add anything before I pay for the order. Once I get the bill, they pay me for the item and for the shipping to the US.

Wait you're a middle man?

Not really. I group buy. Either myself or others place the order. It saves on the shipping.
