Ok, well try to stay away from european sites, or at least compare prices with international shops
remember: if € figure + € shipping = €47+ then you MUST add 19% BTW on items bought outside EU

sometimes it may be cheaper to buy EU because of those added costs (most of the time not though )

Shops I consider good are
Hobby Link Japan (Japan)
Archonia (Belgium ->but sometimes overprice items beyond reason)

Prices vary on size/material/quality/manufacturer
Old anime usually has "Nostalgic"AKA "Working people with lotsa monies" fanbase
instead of kids with a monthly allowance
so one could argue items of such series are more expensive than they should be

Tip is to get a creditcard for international shopping, no hassle with different currency or added exchangefees
as for euro/dollar/yen: compare prices, use a currency converter (don't forget shipping costs)
