I'd really love one, but it'll probably never make it here.

I've ordered plenty of times from TRU and they usually get here. The only trouble I ever had was an order mix up where my Legacy Morpher was sent to someone in USA, but I got a refund.

That said, I got my Gosei Great for a similar (possibly cheaper) price including shipping by just waiting for Mandarake or Jungle to have it up. I'd suggest doing that. Plus, EMS is a heck of a lot faster and safer then USPS in Australia. AusPost really do not care at all about parcels from the US, I've had many problems.

That's what I thought too, importing from US is actually a worse option than getting it off Mandarake or another seller from Japan or Hong Kong.

Yes, when this comes it will be my first Japanese mech, or I could not get one since it's like $80 for a brick.

That depends on if you like bricks that are also solid, stable, substantial and well-built. I love these bricks.

Yeh. These things bombed from what I hear (they're not even reissuing them as Bandai of Asia versions since they skipped from Shinkenger straight to Gokaiger!) so you can probably find them fairly cheap in Japan.

Doesn't help that they're priced at 70-80 either. I think 60 would've been a much more friendlier price for both kids and collectors alike.

No parent is gonna look at the $70 one for their kid when there's a much cheaper option available.

I do have to wonder if this is BOA being assholes about the price or if getting the rights to use the moulds really did set them back a pretty penny.
