All right, I'll spoonfeed ya.
If you want to preorder, but are weary of the damn high shipping and custom fees, there's 3 and Up like anon above mentioned. However, they are expensive and you still have to pay the taxes.
One place that I HEARD you can avoid customs is over there:
www.anime-export.com/index?prdcttype=allBeware that the preorder time is VERY short, and you have to pay the price up front. Shipping will be additional charges once the thing is ready. However, they have the best prices and they sneak under customs. A friend paid MP-36 100$ less than me by buying from them.
If you are a fan of Maketoys, order their stuff directly from them. Great deals, and sneak under customs:
maketoys.jp/shop/For older stuff, there's Mandrake. It's like a shopping center of Japanese geek shops. Usually great prices, and they all sneak under customs.
