Of course I can, because you're acting like a Figuart should be a £40 quality toy when they retail for half that price. Again you CHOOSE to import figures from Japan, so can't hold shipping and middleman fees against them. Figuarts aren't made for foreign collectors to import, they're made for Japanese collectors to pick up from Hobby shop shelves just as we buy toys from supermarkets or toy shops.

And for the record - last month I bought Super Akiba Red, Kamen Rider Beast and Dragonranger from Amiami. The total cost including shipping?

£55.

So yeah. Your numbers are extremely exaggerated.
