You don't seem to realise that Yamato DOES sell the stuff at the price they originally set(like the $100-110 1/48ths)
The reason it turns out to be so much more in the end for us is because of the huge cost of International shipping and handling and going through distributors. Thanks to Harmony Gold, Yamato can't currently sell the toys on their own here in the States. If they were able to, then you'd be able to grab one at the lower price.
