I managed to get one from HLJ.

But in the process, I notice that if I use the USD price listed by the website, I will pay over 65 USD more than the Yen price (including EMS shipping).

My credit card exchange rate is nothing special, so HLJ's exchange rate is really bad.

Always pay in Yen.

Paypal, HLJ, Bandai, etc. use a crappier exchange rate and pocket the difference if you pay in another currency. Like the above post said: always pay in yen.

If you buy a lot of stuff from Japan, it's best to use a CC that has zero foreign transaction fees.

Box looks exactly the same BUT it doesn't have the flip top lid any more. 

 

Mine got delivered today, and bummer indeed that it's not a flip-top box anymore.

I skipped the original Arcadia release due to the fatal leg issue and the reactive-armor since I wasn't a fan of it, so I'll be waiting on your or some others' review(s) regarding the "new hips-joint" or something that makes this reissue incompatible with the reactive-armor that Mr.K had stated before...
