So give or take, flat rate shipping plus CA tax will end up between $385 to $389. Depends on tax percentage they're going to use. But that's atleast $30 something.

Yep the US price plus taxes is a hard sell. 
 

going to be a shelfwarmer for a while if i were to guess.

After seeing BBTS total price, I'll take a last ditched effort try with AmiAmi.

Roughly 386.18 to NM from BBTS.

A few of us we're guesstimating a 55-60% markup over Japan retail price, based on what Bandai has done in the past. Current exchange rate puts it at $240 before shipping, so $350 would end up being about a 46% markup, but then there's state sales tax and domestic shipping. If you go with Mommar's BBTS door-to-door estimate and then add decent courier shipping from Japan for, let's say, $35, to level the playing field, it turns into to a 40% markup. That's...better....

363.00 shipped using FEDEX/PayPal. OUCH!. I guess I wait. At that price I might as well get it from BBTS. Anyone ever use their Surface/Freight feature (Nin-Nin)?

Maybe some PayPal added conversion? It got to my pay with PayPal pop-up and that's where I stopped. Still got one at the 288.0 and in no immediate rush

I usually use surface if I can. I don’t mind waiting.

Just picked up one from Nin Nin.  I don't like price, but I'll "dollar cost average" with ones I pick up later.  The trouble I had last night/this morning when trying to order one was due to my credit card's automatic fraud detection.  I buy a lot from overseas, but maybe I got flagged because of the odd local hour I was trying to make a purchase.

Yeah I just wanted it out of the way. Really looking forward to this release though

Change payment currency to Yen to avoid PayPal conversion rate

The Canuckle head pricing for this will be possibly around $480 Beaver Bucks if the stores do get stock in. 
 

@wm cheng, @Angesdad and my other fellow Canadian Macross collectors , you know that we’re going to get hosed anyways. Avoid Navito World as they’re going to jack up the price to maybe $700 CDN if they get a few units in.

Wow, Ami ami sucks.  I clicked order the moment it went live, and it immediately said none in stock, pre-order closed.  That's what I get for breaking tradition and trying to participate in a pre-order rush.
