$30 is a rip-off. $20 is actually not-bad but I have not seen it anywhere
for that much. The MSRP of it is 1920 yen, ($17 exact yen conversion) and
UCI initially stocked them for $16, and of course, I immediately grabbed
the Sakura Real Model from them. They have never restocked since(but of
course, UCI is no longer an anime supplier...)
So $20 is a good ballpark. As someone mentioned, try Hobbylink Japan as
they charge you exact yen conversion. If it's shipping you're worried
about, um... just pick up all 4 ST real models and it'll be worth it.
