For the record, the most expensive IN COMMON department stores is about $35aud, right now cheapest is $22 because store chain big W is having a 20% toy sale (they're the cheapest at $28) plus I also have a store chain discount of a further 10%.
Also I'm pretty god damn sure hlj weren't charging THAT much for hound when he first came out over there, what gives, only a few legitimate bargains and its incremental at best
Finally, in yen he's 2,625 JPY after that 25% discount, this "sale" price is based off the full rrp they NEVER normally charge to help offset shipping, because in comparison amiami list the full price as 3,780JPY but were charging 2,670yen as the NORMAL price, not a sales price (even though out of stock and orders closed they do keep the sale tag up even when out of stock, even for years in some silly cases).
TLDR hlj are a rip off and only good as the japanese equivalent of bbts for shipping in bulk
