I do hope it wasn't because they had exhausted their import amount. For those taking issue with the price, if it would be $250Aud from hlj you also have to factor shipping and that $@##% gst as well. For not having to lay down the money now, I'm happy with paying $300 for her because, well it's Arcee. There isn't any price I wouldn't pay for a licensed Masterpiece Arcee. No third party ko, and a beautiful looking one as well.
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
