Agree. I would love to buy several of the relative inexpensive space toys I find on Yahoo Japan. However, after you pay the fees to the search engine host, seller fee, and shipping fee, the price quickly jumps out of practical reach.
I used to a lot of little Glico toys through Noppin but they stopped trading outside Japan. Not got anything via Buyer but a friend has and it worked OK.
I've bought nice stuff from Manderake online. Notably, a "mint(ish)" in box Edai Grip Joe 90 car. I passed on a junker Grip FAB1. Maybe I should have got it, I quite enjoy restoring die casts... My Holy Grail remains an Edai Grip Spectrum SPC..
