That's just how they package things. They fit everything onto a piece of cardboard than wrap it similarly to a vacuum wrap with clear plastic which generally works in holding the items in place during shipping. I thought their shipping is actually cheaper than say Amiami since Amiami actually stuff the remaining space with paper which probably increases the weight of the overall package.

I'd have to agree there. HLJ has the cheapest shipping I've seen, and often using FedEx is cheaper than EMS if you order a lot.

Bravo/Gridon DX Lock pack is 8000Y on Mandrake

Mandarake has a SHF Deluknight for ¥2,000. Darned good price. I wish I had the cash to grab a second one.

Jungle has the AC Legend Rider Arms set for ¥3456.

ThinkGeek just got the 30th Anniversary Voltron in and is running a 30% off of $150 or more of purchases until 2/24 if you use the code ELDRITCH during check out. This brings the $225 Voltron set down to ~$160 before shipping.

Unfortunately using the code negates the free shipping for purchases over $75, but this is still the cheapest I've seen the 30th Anniversary Voltron.

Amazon.com is currently offering the SH MonsterArts Gigan from Godzilla: Final Wars for a reasonable $68.35, the cheapest it's ever been on Amazon and a great consolation prize if you missed out on HLJ's sale price a while back.

EDIT: Sale ended an unknown number of hours ago.

There's a B Grade SHF Guard Chaser up on Jungle for ¥3,780. A pretty good price for an amazing bike.

Amiami has a Grade A Birth CLAWS set for a VERY good price at 2180 yen.

I'm pretty sure that's a steal considering I don't see that thing very often.

It comes up every now and then. For about that price. Been up for a couple days.

I ordered a set on Mandarake a couple weeks ago, it was 2000, I believe. MAYBE 2500, but pretty sure 2000. But I don't see it on there often, so yeah, grab it.

It's actually not that rare.

HLJ is running a Halloween sale. There isn't a huge lot of Toku, but ToQ-Oh + the wrist brace is like ¥5,862 and SHF Garren and Red Rhombus for ¥5,600.

Here's the main link: HLJ Halloween Sale

Toy Arena just added a couple of SHF Kamen Rider Black Renewal ver. figures. I grabbed mine off ebay, but it looks like he has two more on the site. Regular retail too.. shame Battle Hopper isn't.

If you still had a boner for the first Godzilla 2014 release, Amazon dropped his price to $61.07! You can get it for a bit less change if you use one of the third-party fulfilled-by-Amazon vendors.

The Japanese Yen is pretty weak right now (9300 = about $81), so I have been making my purchases before the weekend (when currency rates usually go up).

My conversion app is showing it at about 115.50 JPY to 1 USD, so it's been holding somewhere between that and 114 JPY for the past week or so.

Sears.com has Saga belts for whatever reason.

What the hell? I just looked and you're right. They have Sagark which makes no damn sense in the slightest.

A more extensive look reveals they have tons of imported Bandai product listed actually.

Sears offers things to sell through it from third parties. Nothing different from Walmart or Amazon doing the same thing.

SHF Bujin Gaim on Mandarake for ¥6,500! Cheap! Get it quick!

Sealed Blood Orange Lock seed for 5000yen, cheapest I've seen since the one I bought, go go go!

S.H Figuarts Kamen Rider Knight is currently at $50 with $7.15 shipping on Ebay. There's one more day until the bidding is over.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221651693445...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

As much I want to get him, I really need to hold to on my money for other important things at the moment :(

WOW. That's a fantastic price for Knight, anyone who gets that will be very pleased.

No chance it'll go for low with the exposure it's going to get now, lol.

I missed TWO super deals on Knight in a week once. One was $25 shipped and the other was $30. I was so angry. But I want him less now, so meh.

The figure ends in two hours and is still at the same price. If I was not getting a new phone on Monday then I would have bid him by now.
