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.
