Has become, no longer available from amazon.co.jp
Who bought this before for sure no regret this decision, like me. But who is not bought it already and intends do this in the future may regret delaying this purchase.

And some pig is already selling this for 50000 yenis, that's about 500€.

It was an honor fighting with you guys bringing this baby down in the last 24 hours.

Is this item scheduled for restocking, or has the ship sailed on getting one from them?

Amazon.JP will clearly state that more is on the way if they are restocking. In this case, it states that it is no longer available. For comparison, look at Chronicles of Narnia and Unstoppable (if you don't see Amazon as the seller, go into the more buyers list). Both of these clearly show more is on the way. Just my own observation...

The Canadian one is better than this one anyway. Better artwork and half the price.

No. Just no.

That is in the eye of the beholder. Those of us that have it feel otherwise.

Agreed. Both 1st release Batman Begins and Dark Knight steels from CA are nicer then the JP ones IMO (DE/FR steel was nicer too I think) but that isn't to say that these aren't nice as well. Just not as nice

To be honest after seeing the Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Steels at Best Buy, I know they didn't have the gloss like the Canadian steels but I was still not impressed. To me they look more like a glorified or hard slip cover while the Japan ones look more like a comic cover or even art. At least that is how I see it.

Does it have better artwork? Yes. Is it half the price? Yes. Really? Yes

I think buyers on ebay will have the final say over the coming months on which is the more desirable.

 

[blu-steel]

The Japan one is alot rarer which will drive the price up well over $150 in the next year.

IMO all these Japan ones with exclusive art are going to go up way over $100 once they are OOS. These are the white ones. The ones released a year earlier like Knight and Day and A-team the sky is the limit.

I'm not saying the Canadian one is more desirable. A lot of people for example want the German version of Wanted when it has a rubbish blu-banner and printed back. I can still say that the recent MM release has better artwork or that the UK one is better value.

Do you have this one in hands reach?

There is a reason why it fetches crazy prices. Its a premium finish and the debossed gold and the gun look like it is with real gold paint. It looks that good.
