Well, this is really cheap. If it were not taxed in the Brazilian customs (and was not cost $ 200 after that) I'd buy.
It's high, but I don't think it's ridiculous. If I were buying something like this from the States and having it shipped to the UK, I would expect to pay something similar for shipping. I'm pleasantly surprised that the shipping from Japan is quite reasonable. Truth be told, if I'm stupid enough to buy small plastic dolls of my favourite band (and I am indeed that stupid, because I am buying them), then I accept that I'm going to be paying for it
These things have been available to pre-order on AmiAmi for quite a while now (around beginning of summer). I'm surprised they've barely been posted here. In case you're planning on buying them they're currently 15% off (3,210 JPY or 41 USD) on AmiAmi, so I recommend buying them there. If anyone wants it: AmiAmi link
This is has been all over Ebay, CDJapan and Amazon Japan for ages. I don't see why it's being posted now. In fact I have already pre ordered before this announcement.
Yep. Not really new by any means, I mean, Linkin Park themselves tweeted about it last week. However as it wasn't posted by us I'm sure Hybrid just wanted to test out posting news as he's a new contributor which is completely fine with a news item like this. It really is no big deal. Also, I pre-ordered mine before they even existed! :hipstersarah:
