Where to Buy the Musai 
The Musai is starting to show up as a pre-order on more and more online stores, including ones that will ship overseas. Here is what I've found so far:
- HobbyLink Japan: Approximately US$113.16 (13,000 Yen) with unknown shipping cost, likely $80-100. HLJ accepts payment with credit card via Paypal, and no payment is expected until the item is ready to ship.
- YesAsia: US$179 with "free worldwide shipping," see site for shipping details. The YesAsia site lists the Musai as a "no cancel/return" item, meaning your preorder cannot be cancelled once it is placed. YesAsia accepts payments via credit card, and you have to enter your card number up front but you will not be charged until your order ships.
- PlaJapan: US$179 with free shipping (likely UPS Ground) to the United States and Canada. PlaJapan accepts credit card and Paypal payments, and no payment is expected until the item is ready to ship.
- Big Bad Toy Store: US$129 with shipping estimated to be $12.96 for UPS Ground. This shipping cost strikes me as much too low, even for domestic. BBTS requires credit card payment for preorders, though your card will not be billed until the item is ready to ship. Thanks to reader Kevin Comer for the link.
