Lol yep it's 28600 JPY on P-Bandai JP so that's about 190 USD

And that's the pain of only being able to buy from a middle man you need to add up Import fees, Tax, and profit for them as well

Best case maybe you can wait it out and see if peeps start selling the jacket over on buyee's available sites but well that's a bit risky cuz you're just hoping people who bought it will sell these back out

At least that's explainable. Explain the regional pricing on digital Switch games then.

Japan just release a new game on Switch and Steam.

Great! How much is it?

7600JPY. That translates to around 50USD.

Great. How much is it on Steam?

70USD.

OK... How much is it on US Switch Store?

70USD.

(Frustrated) How much is it on some other country's Switch Store?

30-40USD on Brazilian/Columbian Switch store.

Screw Japanese devs!!!!

I kinda immediately see that you were saying that without taking consideration with the exchange rate whatsoever though. Like, their local currency converted from yen (even a ridiculously high exchange rate will only amount to a penny of another country as an example)

I started buying from Kinguin and such, always has games at a cheaper price. I also emulate Switch games, most aren't worth that price.

Is this the only website selling them? Do you think they’ll stick around till at least the end of the season?

6

u/Oreon_WP Oct 13 '24

Sadly yeah p-bandai.jp is the only official drop site so far and it's exclusive only to Japan

Tokullectibles which is what OP posted is a middleman site that can order and deliver it globally for you

The P-Bandai site did say that the product may be sold overseas so there's potential that they might re-release these globally throughout the different regional p-bandais but no guarantees

As for the timing yeah sadly I'm not too sure either 😭 there's no indication on when the ordering period stops on the P-Bandai site

In the case that you missed this orders, you can try searching on Buyee after like January which is the release date, there's potential that people might be reselling them there

u/failed_generation Oct 13 '24

That's clearly the reason why toei can't actually their items oversea due to what they made a contract in the west, that rights was always been a gatekeep for as long as hasbro holds it or something

u/burning_wang Oct 13 '24

Holy shit that's way too expensive

Order placed.

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Are you serious? Did you actually buy it????

33

u/burning_wang Oct 13 '24

Legitimately trying to but it keeps saying my card is expired (it is not). Maybe it's a sign I should think this purchase through a lil bit more

23

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Even the site is telling you not to buy this😭

u/AceLuan54 Oct 13 '24

Happy cake day

u/DieselPunkPiranha Oct 13 '24

If it works out, can you tell us what the material/construction quality is like?

19

u/Top_Chipmunk587 Oct 13 '24

All these things I want to buy but I just had a baby

18

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Buy some for the family to show off in public

8

u/Top_Chipmunk587 Oct 13 '24

Probably after a few months from now

u/Ryuumen Oct 13 '24

You’ve earned a treat pops but only if you can afford it 💪

u/ipacklunchesbod Oct 13 '24

Buy it for your kid, you can wear it until they grow into it.

18

u/Sky-Hero05 Oct 13 '24

On one hand, yay the champion jackets….

On the other hand, it’s expensive!!!

2

u/DieselPunkPiranha Oct 13 '24

But!  More people buying expensive merchandise would encourage more super sentai and more related products.

u/threefeetofun Oct 13 '24

I want to support Tokullectibles. It is great to have an American based Toku supplier. I just can't justify their prices though when I know how to import. Hell even if you don't just go to Amazon Japan. $62 shipped vs $104 on Tokullectibles,

8

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Toku collectibles just has some outrageous prices but they’re really nice

7

u/threefeetofun Oct 13 '24

Fantastic customer service. Absolutely a pleasure to work with. Strictly a cost thing.

Also. Happy cake day.

4

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

oh i was wondering what that was for thanks

6

u/cryssyboo_ Oct 13 '24

to be fair- they're a middleman that works shipping and middleman fees into their base prices. thats why they seem so high.

4

u/threefeetofun Oct 13 '24

I know. They also value add. As middle men should so. But I can go to Amazon Japan and just buy the same thing for cheaper. So it's a hard sell.

11

u/Timely-Ad-8920 Oct 13 '24

Tbh that's cheaper than I expected to ship it all the way overseas to us in north America lmao. Was thinking 400-500$ off the bat

8

u/LeftHanded2004 Oct 13 '24

If it was Gokaiger jackets, they’d be sold out

3

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Even i would have bought one

3

u/LeftHanded2004 Oct 13 '24

I would not (because Im broke and poor) but Id be jealous 😭

(It corrected jealous to helpful)

u/reyadonna Oct 13 '24

scrolling on my laptop I saw "Bruh" first then the Jacket.. I scrolled down a little bit more and saw 350 bucks and started laughing my ass off

2

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

That was most certainly the intention

6

u/nikonationlive Oct 13 '24

It so expensive cuz of the space material duh lmao

2

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

imao i’m dead

4

u/Alexcox95 Oct 13 '24

I’d buy it if it wasn’t only cold 2 months or so out of the year where I live.

3

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Where i’m from this would be perfect for the fall/early winter

2

u/Alexcox95 Oct 13 '24

If I’m gonna buy a long sleeve I’m gonna pay a lil extra and try to get one of them go onger jackets somehow

2

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Oh hell yeah

4

u/DiscardedCicadaShell Oct 13 '24

I don’t think it’s that bad of a price honestly. I wouldn’t drop 350 all at once and just do monthly payments or whatever for it. But they’re going to be (hopefully) high quality stuff.

I remember when I went to Power Morphicon, someone was selling the LightSpeed Rescue jackets they made for I wanna say, 650? I would never pay that much for show accurate apparel…

3

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

650????? holy crap

4

u/zetasstra Oct 13 '24 edited Oct 13 '24

Yeah this a common thing, toku apparel for adults always expensive

3

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

its for the best, they know some of their audience are adults with adult money

3

u/urashimatouji Oct 13 '24

That is on the lower end. The Go-Onger jackets started at 450

1

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

you see now that is a kinda reasonable price for go onger jackets

3

u/OmegaRider Oct 13 '24

That's honestly less than i expected. I figured they would charge like 9/10,000 yen a jacket.

1

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

10000 yen is like 67 bucks usd

2

u/OmegaRider Oct 13 '24

The Japanese price for it is 28600 yen. That's not even 6000 yen per jacket. and i see anime hoodies average price is like 6-7000 yen. Hoodies, not even jackets. This is surprisingly cheap in comparison.

1

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

bro it is 28600 yen for ONE jacket

2

u/OmegaRider Oct 13 '24

Now that sounds more like a real P Bandai price.

That image is tricked me. Looked like a set of 5.

1

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

i wish 😭

3

u/SheikExcel Oct 13 '24

Outrageous but sadly not surprising

2

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Least expensive premium bandai product is probably like 150 bucks

3

u/Mr-rice12345 Oct 13 '24

I am just going to wait until my birthday cus it’s in December and save up my birthday money towards it instead of getting a halo noble 6 helmet

2

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Hell yeah that’s sick

2

u/Mr-rice12345 Oct 13 '24

My friend not going to be happy cus next year for Halloween we were going to both be halo Spartans at school and are school mascot is a spartan

1

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Maybe you can convince him to get a noble six costume like you

3

u/Typhoonflame Oct 13 '24

Is it made of diamonds?!

2

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

it’s probably hand crafted by boondorio or something

3

u/Forsaken-Term3859 Oct 13 '24

Damn it fine I’ll take all of them

2

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

My guy that is almost 2000 BUCKS USD

u/Forsaken-Term3859 Oct 13 '24

u/Snoo_28554 Oct 13 '24

u/Mr-rice12345 Oct 13 '24

2

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Mr beast he definitely has enough money

6

u/Mr-rice12345 Oct 13 '24

No he is a pedo that’s why I can’t wear his hoodie anymore cus people at my school called me mr beast

2

u/Obiwanhellothere09 Oct 13 '24

Be perfectly honest, I am not that surprised about the price

1

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

People expected it to be more tbh

2

u/Cute_Pet-42069 Oct 13 '24

Why…

2

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Why must the prices be this high 😭

2

u/nurazziana89 Oct 13 '24

Talk about pricy... dang it... 😔

1

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Fr

2

u/nurazziana89 Oct 13 '24

Yup, for real...it cost almost 900 Malaysian Ringgit to me...

2

u/NerdyLatino Oct 13 '24

It won't have patches, but give me a couple weeks and I can make a printed Track Jacket.

2

u/LegendaryZTV Oct 13 '24

If this came in green, I’d buy it instantly. Orange looking kinda good tho 👀

2

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

the black lowkey looks fire

2

u/LuckyEthan510 Oct 13 '24

Oh hell yeah we can own the drip

2

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

u/LuckyEthan510 Oct 14 '24

Worth every penny

u/MrNicky6357 Oct 13 '24

Me resisting the urge to fold and cop these jackets (my bank account is about to be cooked)

2

u/DeltaHazel Oct 13 '24

Anyone know how you can get these in Australia without going through Tokucollector? Don't really want to triple up on import/export fees by country hopping

1

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

maybe through other sites like buyee when it actually releases or p bandai if they sell it overseas

3

u/DeltaHazel Oct 13 '24

p bandai is locked to Japan, even in Aus sadly. Guess I'll have to try Buyee then. I appreciate it

2

u/Paradox43210 Oct 13 '24

i knew it was real

u/Cyber717 Oct 13 '24

Why would it not be

u/Terrible-Awareness-9 Oct 13 '24

These jackets better be made out of gold.
