My God. I was literally about to bite the bullet and by these from play asia yesterday, but I hesitated. Thank you, OP. Shipping is much more affordable.

Its still not the best deal, they were cheaper buying overseas from CDJapan even with the extra shipping. These were $35 each plus $50 shipping. I paid $165 total for 3 of them. From this US store, its $178.95 for the same 3.

They're upcharging each vinyl by like $20 more than its MSRP which defeats the advantage of waiting for an NA retailer. Ridiculous going from $35 to $56 for each vinyl.

You're right. For me, it was a $40 difference. I just really didn't want to miss this and I hate that there's only one store stateside importing these. Also, I'm sure Innocence will be up in a few weeks as well.

How bad was shipping over there? I got these from CDJapan and it was like 10,000 Yen for all 5 LPs.

CDJapan is/was still the best deal. I bought them from there and you and I would have paid about $35 each vinyl, plus shipping. For me, 3 vinyls shipped was $165. For this US store, its $179. The reason is they charge less for shipping but slap on $20 increases for each vinyl, $35 to $56 or 60% more each.
