If the exchange rate holds steady by release, you should be paying about the same rate for the base toys as if you were ordering direct from Walmart.

The only extra will be shipping. No idea how much Japan Posts' increases will be, but stay away from DHL or FedEx if you don't appreciate them charging broker fees/duties/taxes after they've delivered your package to you. I've always used SAL or EMS if it was a big/pricey order. I think after a certain point you must use EMS anyway.

^ I was gonna say the same, it's not even scalper prices but you do have to pay shipping. It may end up being about the same as buying from Walmart if you choose SAL.

Also agreed, don't use DHL from Japan - I heard you will be charged extra pretty much all the time.

Amazon.jp will pre charge you for any import fees which is one of the nice things about them. It came out to around $55 plus shipping so ~$80 total. The Takara version was supposed to have different coloured eyes as well but I thought it was red Takara, yellow Hasbro but that doesn't seem to be the case.

F0667 WFC-K?? Soundwave

They're releasing Soundwave for the Kingdom line, could it be the netflix mold?

The Kingdom one is a Core Class figure, nothing bigger.
