Sure I'll get hit with shipping (though at Archonia too) and taxes from HLJ and in the end may just save myself €20


Oh I'll admit that a lot of price fixing starts at the importer/distributor
but keeping prices high isn't exactly gonna 'expand the market'
I agree. That's why i also buy my anime merchandise from shops in japan (cdjapan, hobbysearch, amiami or even with a proxy for webshops that don't ship internationally) rather than from those in Europe or the USA due to their much higher pricing.
