I get you. Having him now, I can definitely get the angst of accessory count. But like most SHFiguarts MMPR collections, he was necessary and really, he's really awesome. Besides, he was much more tolerable than the $65 for DekaRed. But again, I needed him....well wanted him more so.

You paid $65 for Deka Red? I thought he was suppose to be one of the cheaper Sentais with Blue, Green, Yellow, and Pink being expensive?

Yeah....well......I picked him up at Image Anime. Knew I was getting hit with that import fee. Any time you buy from shops like this, I'm sure you're paying for the in-store convenience & jacked up import fee. Could've got him on Amazon for ~$34, but shipping was like 18-32 estimate.

Besides, to my knowledge, the other 4 are around $77-90, especially the latter for the girls.

The other four Dekarangers can be had for ¥4500 or less each on Mandarake right now. Granted, there is only one Green at that price, but still.

Well, I'm still not on that level of comfort with the Toku import shops. For now, I'm comfortable with IA & Amazon. But I'm looking into it.

I can certainly understand the reservations. I had them at first, too. I know it's merely anecdotal, but I've had more issues ordering from Amazon merchants than Mandarake or Jungle.

Edit: I'm not trying to talk you into using them, just pointing out my own experiences.

I've never had a problem personally with Amazon when I order from them, everything shows up when it's suppose to and in good shape.

I understand the reservations though. Whenever you start using Mandarake though, be prepared to get addicted to using it.

Really......might have to look into that. Question: how do you handle money conversion? And what's the advantage to Mandrake vs Amazon regarding shipping costs & delivery dates?

For the most part, when I visited Mandrake, it was mostly in kanji. I'm not that skilled yet.

Edit: sorry that was another site. Everything's kosher.

I can't read Japanese in the slightest. I usually just grab the kanji for the series I want from Wikipedia and plug it in the search box. Sometimes I use SHF or Figuarts to narrow things down a bit, depending on what I'm looking for. There is a bit of a learning curve when shopping at Mandarake, but it doesn't really last long.
