I cancelled my order on AmiAmi because there's was a price difference compared to Amazon Japan. AmiAmi price keep going up while Amazon Japan price keep going down. It looks like the price will go lower for the coming month. Keep in mind that Amazon Japan might charge you tax and customs, depending on where you live.

Both AmiAmi and Amazon use DHL shipping to Canada. Therefore both will charge custom and tax. It makes no difference there. My only option is to go with the best price.

¥74,240 included Japan tax. My price is ¥66,816 (10% less without Japan tax for international order) and can be lower in this coming month.

you must live in a state with no sales tax? Amazon JP charges tax at least for CA residents, which effectively cancels out the Japan tax savings.

DHL charge import tax (Canada) if you order through AmiAmi or Amazon Japan. Amazon Japan first deduct 10% (Japan tax) off the purchase price and then charge the shipping and import tax from DHL. Whereas AmiAmi does not deduct any percentage from the purchase price and charge shipping and import tax on top by DHL. Example: Amazon Japan $74240 yen listed price => $66816 yen (purchase price with japan tax 10% removed) $66816 yen + shipping + Canada import tax (based on $66816 yen) = final price AmiAmi $70100 yen listed price + shipping + Canada import tax (based on $70100 yen) = final price

I’m not talking about import tax, I’m talking about sales tax.

Man that box looks huge. Definitely has that prestige high-end look like all SOCs. I'm happy for all the fans who will be getting this one.

Wait, in the first pic with the two Gaiking toys, are they comparing old and new? Is the one with bigger lower legs an older Gaiking or something? Side note, I know people have grown accustomed to GX-100 being Gaiking, but how much more epic would it have been if GX-100 was SOC Gurren Lagann?

Side note, I know people have grown accustomed to GX-100 being Gaiking, but how much more epic would it have been if GX-100 was SOC Gurren Lagann? It's showing off the accessory set. The bigger parts are the super mode parts. As for gurren lagann bandai was probably scrambling to do something big for 100. Even if this set was yanked from the dx line I think something huge and expensive is appropriate since it probably would have been another mazinger z repaint otherwise. Gurren Lagann all things considered is just another mecha.

Amazon JP price is tempting, but I think there’s a chance this could actually get discounted further.
