Because fuck you, that’s why!

Money saved I guess… such bullshit.

I... what the fuck? That's absurd. I wasn't planning on getting it anyway, but still, that's really shitty.

They've apparently been doing that with pretty much every single release... Have to to through the web store and buy a more expensive version to get seemingly important accessories.

It's a huge load of horseshit.

And that's the only one I would even want too.. So yeah I'm probably not even considering it now.

There will supposedly be other international online stores (Crunchyroll for example, apparently.. didn't know they had a store) that will carry it? But it'll still probably be extra expensive which is shit enough to not want it.

To clarify, the DX version is only available through the GSC store in Japan however apparently it'll be available internationally through their partner stores (one of which is actually Crunchyroll). The full list of stores is here:

Will have to check out Crunchyroll as they might have a good price on it, but if not than this whole post is pretty useless to me (and probably Kiwami too, sorry dude). You American folks might have better luck though.

Oh wait there actually are stores in Germany who have a partnership with Good Smile.

…

But one of them is run by idiots, already had bad experiences with those guys, the other ones I’ll have to see but the one store which does list this DX verison wants 75€+shipping. And honestly that’s definitely not worth it for me.

crunchyroll store does ship world wide and i think even if crunchyroll avlible n germany for streaming it will ship item from there store there to you along with the store currency changing to your region currency.

Eh… but the price isn’t getting any better I’ll imagine. It’s still too pricy for me. Would’ve been better if they just released the DX-version as the normal one in stores because then I would’ve gotten a discount from Japanese retailers.

But now I pay the full price + the step-up for it being the DX version + the price up from the import retailers. And that’s too much for me to pay for this figure.

ah ok

All that you miss out on if you go the regular edition route is:

Hookshot
Fan
Bomb
Pot
Rupee
Creature






As much as I would like to have the hookshot I don't really need it or the other accessories. I'd much rather just pay for the regular version and get the essentials and maybe try to track down the extras at some other point in time.

You say "all that you miss you on", but that's pretty much all of the accessories you've listed there. I think the annoyance is pretty justified when the DX version is only less than 1000 yen more than the standard one (not counting for retailer discounts or anything like that). It basically doesn't need to exist when they could have easily crammed it all into one set. Hell only a few months ago they put up a Figma that comes with a damn car as an accessory.

I can't imagine tracking them down separately will be at all easy. These things aren't going to be like GSC exclusive bits where they're in a separate bag - the DX will have a unique box and I can't see buyers that willing to break it up.

I was about to say the same thing. That is A LOT of stuff to miss out on if you don't get the deluxe one. I either want the deluxe one or nothing at all.
