I just spent a month in Japan and found next to nothing in the kinkeshi side of things. I did get some sweet priced romando though. Infact, I have never once seen an american muscle sold in a Japanese toy store, just kinkeshi. Which is not bad if you are just looking for the figure itself, you can get a kinkeshi version for much cheaper I would assume. I spent almost a full day pillaging through thousands of kinkeshi and there was nothing really special at all in there though, none of the rare good stuff, and the few rare pieces I did find were over priced. I did get about 8 glitters for about 75 cents a piece though, not bad.lol no big deal guys i'll just go to my friend from japan and see what he can do. it sucks that kids over there have access to these toys because it's made their and we bottom get lucky what ever comes our way and what they take for granted.
Good luck on your quest, just know there are hundreds of us on the same quest and to find one on ebay for $80 is highly unlikely unless there is something seriously wrong with it (for example, no head). I decided to fork out the cash for a Three pack custom rare pack thingy, it will sooth my desire to have these figures for now, I would reccomend something similar.
In Juan's defense, I have had some ebay transactions with him, and he is good to go. I did not know cowboyimprove was an Akia member.
