this is probably the best over the counter price right now due to the discounted shipping.

at HLJ PO , price was 18,000 yen. + 4690 yen for ems shipping. (4550 yen fedex)

I pulled the trigger. I am accepting the mark up as a penalty tax for not PO. Thanks for the heads up. I've been refreshing the amazon, hlj, and 1999 sites nonstop for the slightest chance. Ultimately I eat the ~$40 and get my new toy in week! Happy New Year!

The release date was yesterday not today .   You can wait after the holiday to see if any more will pop up Incase any of their shipment batches are still in transit.

but I think that’s it for the msrp price from Amazon jp 

you might see more reopening from other sites from no payment cancellations, but then they can not give you the low AMAZON shipping rate. 

Hoping to catch it from other sites. Shipping doesn't bother me. It is what it is. But it's the $50 over MSRP that has be hesitating on checking out. It's my own fault, which stings. I cooled off of buying most collectibles but with my divorce it's back to enjoying the finer things. Toys! This was my first planned decorative collectible for my new pad. My ex hated my toys. Looking for a miracle.

It’s release day and haven’t seen any more stock pop up at the original price. You guys think it’s a risk waiting for more potential stock to be listed or bite the bullet and get one off Amazon JP?  Not really liking that $50 mark up...

If you see it back up please let me know. I've been refreshing the same 4 websites like it's my job. 

Was Amazon JP selling direct? If so, were they coming in and out of stock? I think it's my best bet after missing PO and having hlj cancel. For some reason I can't justify the inflated $25x price on Amazon. Need a win to finish 2018 also my first post, happy I found you guys.
