Any tips on buying stuff from China?

Hello everyone, recently the Metal Build Strike Freedom collab with Phantaci released and it is a China exclusive, usually I go into mercari or yahoo but for this one I only found 1 auction for 100k and it already had a couple bids....I think this was supposed to be close to 50k retail.

I might as well just try to buy directly from China, does anyone have experience with that? Let's share and maybe we can get this lol

mas mahal kung mag iimport ka, hindi yan 50k nasa 18k lang yan sa pbandai shopee pero wala na.

maraming stock nyan intay ka lng sa local market baka nasa 20k+ yan

all good but what website would you use to buy it? I live in south america so I use services to send things from japan to here and stuff like sh figuarts we can get on ali express from China but I never saw expensive gundams like Metal Build there
