I haven't ordered Madoka yet & not sure if I will (she will probably sell out at cheaper stores while I am debating)
But over at MFC some people did some estimates & she seems to be cheapest at Hobby Search. They are having a 50% off promotion on shipping.

The reason I want her is because I think she is a beautiful figure but she is not a favorite character and I also tend to only buy figures for characters I love. Hence why I am a bit conflicted.

I'm actually quite torn in this case myself: I would definitely rage if they somehow release a "Ultimate Homura" (albeit I don't see it as outstanding as Madokami, I have a soft spot for her so), but even if I pre-order her, I have no clue whichever is the best course of action between Big in Japan, Hobby Search and GSC website. Big in Japan is the only shop that allows undervalue for customs declaration, Hobby search is currently halving the shipping cost until 15th june, and GSC use their fixed 2000 yens EMS (but you are raped by a full blown 14800yen price tag). So it is really up to the shipping cost (size and weight) and the damn customs... Well at least, something is certain: it is EMS or Sal Parcel, and considering her value, SAL sounds like pushing your luck to no end.

Anyway, the money that will be spent on November (in claiming the package at customs) is for Madoka. So I don't mind.

and as most of us who've been collecting for a while noticed, there's usually nothing left on shelves at a retailer shortly after release Figuremanufacturers are living in golden times Develop prototype->advertise->take preorders->mass produce->sell No need to produce more than ordered, working though 3rd party factories means no ongoing cost of labour/production if preorders are too low to cover targeted revenue, the figures simply gets delayed If demand exceeds production, wait and rerelease on preorder basis again (always smart to wait for raw materials/transport costs to lower, or currency to change in your favor)

The Madoka figure won't sell out too quickly though because she is on made to order until August 1st.
I mean she might sell out at the cheaper retailers but you probably have until August to decide if you want her if you are willing to pay the GSC price.
