See that's the stereotype people inaccurately perpetuate. That the BOJ versions are vastly more expensive. But they certainly aren't by the "hundreds" of dollars lots of people like to exaggerate about. The US release of said BOJ toy is actually about the same price as it was when released in Japan, except the retail price here at around $80 equates to the Japanese price of $40-50 and shipping charges factored in. I bough this figure 3 years ago for 3000 yen plus shipping so about $55 in total.

So this figure runs you more now because US retailers charge more, there are more fees to factor in as a retailer. I think it's fantastic we're getting real sentai toys in the US again though. I know it'll never get back to the good old days of minor repaints of the real toys being released here, but I like to think the collector's market can keep these imported releases alive.
