If i import the Figure from Japan or USA, there will be additional
customs duty here in Germany - making this SMALL Figure alone
VERY VERY Expensive
(I always buy every Figure twice - one stays sealed in Package)

But such an Huge Price - for such a Small Figure is not right in my Opinion.
It is far far away from being fair.

I own an

- S.H. Monster Arts Predator (Heavy Armored), the Purchase Price was around 70 Euro (around 80$),
- S.H. Figuarts Injustice Batman = 50 Euros (around 60$)
- S.H. Monster Arts Warrior Alien = 50 Euros (around 60$)
THAT is an correct Price for a small S.H. Figuarts (or Monsterarts) Figure

For S.H. Figuarts Figures, i thought that Prices are always around
50$ - 80$ MAXIMUM = 90$

That is why iam really shocked after i saw this Price for that small Figure.

Things like Injustice Batman and Monsterarts Predator were solicited outside of Japan, meaning local shops could grab them wholesale without having to pay full retail plus taxes and shipping. It doesn't look like Ultron is available for solicitation in Japan yet, once that happens, it is likely to affect the price of the BBTS listing (as we saw with Transformers Masterpiece Shockwave/Lazerwave).

If you have a local shop in Germany you frequent, have they said what they're going to be charging for the Ultron figure? Genuinely curious what the going rate is going to be there.
