Or rather, trustworthy sites who carry Japanese toys......frankly, never could figure out the whole shipping through an intermediary thing, and most Japanese sites I've found that do ship to the US charge upwards of $100 shipping if you want your package in less than 3 months. I'll take what I can get though, cause MAN......I REALLY want to buy that re-release of Soul of Chogokin Big O, but "Big Bad Toy Store" has it marked up at OVER $100 THE REGULAR ASKING PRICE! Sadly, they're also the only site that I know is 100% legitimate that actually has it up for pre-order. >< Thing supposedly comes out this month (according to BBTS at least) and it's not even on "Hobby Link Japan"? HOW THE HECK!?!?!

.........sorry, super frustrated here. ^_^; Between BBTS, HLJ, and Amazon, I've always been pretty much set. Now that I'm starting to find items they don't carry (or charge a stupid amount for........seriously BBTS, NOT COOL), I'm not sure where it's safe to look. Google has been pretty much useless lately. I mean, the second result for "Soul of Chogokin Big O" was a news article announcing the release......according to the preview, as the link ACTUALLY took me to some Forbes news article totally unrelated. Seriously, can Google BREAK? 'Cause I think I've broken mine.

Sorry if it looks like I've been spamming the forum lately. ^_^; A tad obsessed with getting my hands on this figure, and Toyark is kinda my only source for decent information (again, Google is ZERO help for me). This is the last thread I'll bug folks with about the Big O thing, promise! Though I DO have to ask, any chance someone will start a sticky thread that lists trustworthy online retailers, maybe with pros and cons for each? That would be a REALLY helpful tool! .....of course, there's a halfway decent chance we already have one of those, and I just missed it. I'm beginning to think I'm cursed when it comes to search functions of any kind.:P
