I'm in Vancouver B.C. and I usually buy all my Japanese toys and model kits directly from Japan, it saves a lot of $$$ on the mark-up you see when buying from BBTS, EE, and other US retailers...

Check it out:

Hobbylink Japan:
https://hlj.com/
Great site with great prices. No hassle preorders, and a 'personal warehouse', similar to BBTS's 'pile 'o' loot' service. I spend way too much money here every month!

Plamoya Japan:
https://plamoya.com/
Prices are a bit higher at Plamoya, but they have great 70% off sales pretty much all the time. Hard to find stuff is frequently in stock here as well.

...All of the stuff Ive ordered from either place have arrived with great care taken to ensure the items have been wrapped in tissue, and immobilized very well with shrink wrap and packing pickles. I honestly cant say that for BBTS or EE. Both of them are great online stores, but why go through a middle-man?!

Hope this helps. Cheers!
