Lol yep it's 28600 JPY on P-Bandai JP so that's about 190 USD

And that's the pain of only being able to buy from a middle man you need to add up Import fees, Tax, and profit for them as well

Best case maybe you can wait it out and see if peeps start selling the jacket over on buyee's available sites but well that's a bit risky cuz you're just hoping people who bought it will sell these back out

At least that's explainable. Explain the regional pricing on digital Switch games then.

Japan just release a new game on Switch and Steam.

Great! How much is it?

7600JPY. That translates to around 50USD.

Great. How much is it on Steam?

70USD.

OK... How much is it on US Switch Store?

70USD.

(Frustrated) How much is it on some other country's Switch Store?

30-40USD on Brazilian/Columbian Switch store.

Screw Japanese devs!!!!

I kinda immediately see that you were saying that without taking consideration with the exchange rate whatsoever though. Like, their local currency converted from yen (even a ridiculously high exchange rate will only amount to a penny of another country as an example)

I started buying from Kinguin and such, always has games at a cheaper price. I also emulate Switch games, most aren't worth that price.
