>>5331275I don't think it's fair to include shipping, since even western figures have some really fucked up shippnig (4H) prices.
I personally don't need stuff shipped to me, since i get most of my Japanese toys from an import shop, with discount even.
Besides, if Japanese toys (and all products) were so fucking overpriced, the shipping cost would be easier to eat, because the toy is cool (see also 4H).
>>5331299> It's going to turn away a lot of DCC/DCD fans who have invested so much into a line which already has 100's of 7.5in figures.The fanbase for 1:12 figures is greater though and there are people like me who collects 1:10 (and many other scales) and I'll actually buy more figures in 1:12 just because it's more compatible.
With larger scales, i usually only buy figures i REALLY like. With smaller scales I'll just buy them if I'm in the mood and/or have a passing interest.
Besides, i don't think there are many people who are so anal about scale they won't get awesome figures becacuse they're an inch shorter.
