there is a HUGE difference between the posted Japanese price for this doll and the US price posted at the toy synd. I would hate to say that the Toy Synd. is ripping off it's costomers but 36,000 yen doesn't even come close to equalling 350 US dollars.

One other thing that you may want to keep in mind is that a "3000 limited first run" does not mean that they will not make more, it just means that they make 3000 and see how those sale.

I am not trying to take the steam out of anyones sail here, but be careful how you throw around that much cash. 36,000 yen isn't 350$ and the US doesn't charge that much of a tarriff on toys. If that was the case a Nintendo 64 would cost you 780$. Be careful.
