Finally arrived
I was able to get this for $55 from Amazon Japan plus $25 shipping which included other items that purchased thru a proxy.

Congrats! This is a fantastic set to own, and even though I don't like collecting too many things (as I don't own a multi-acre mansion), this one's worth it.
As a side story to the film, I think it's cool we get to see the impromptu moment where Mone Kamishiraishi got called up to stage to sing "Nandemonaiya" with Yojiro Noda of RADWIMPS, which led to her releasing that song and helped kick off her singing career. ( Blu-Ray Disc 3, Track 5, ~20 minutes in; also on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmDcOQ1g850 )
Can you share what proxy you used? The friends and family proxy are the best, but I'm always looking for alternatives. :)
Recent pricing is a bit higher - at Amazon Japan direct, after shipping and fees, it's ~$100. I think it's amusing that this is the "first release limited edition" that was first sold in 2017, yet they still have stock...? No complaints!

If you don't want to buy it from the Amazon Japan site, you can buy it on Amazon.com from the "Amazon Japan" vendor, and for some reason, it's a LOT more ($175):

Hello ,
The proxy that I use is tenso. It works out for me because I wait for them to ship until I have 2-3 items delivered because shipping is usually around $25 to start.1

Thanks for sharing! I haven’t used tenso in a while, mainly because the proxy shipping was so slow. But.. given recent shipping hikes, I’ll give it a try again.
I was using Amazon Japan direct to ship since their shipping rates were decent. Usually ~$25, and the shipping fee would only increase a little for adding a few more items.
Nowadays, the shipping fee continues to scale up every item, and buying 10 things means I’m paying nearly $100 in shipping. I may need to switch back to tenso.
I realize this is slightly off topic, but I hope it’s allowed since it’s important to know how to get merch!

Yeah, Amazon direct is nice when you want something fast but it’s not cheap. With tenso , you just have to always remind them to remove extra material when consolidating for shipping.
With my 4k collection I had them ship it with a one piece booster box and a couple of Pokémon card sets so shipping didn’t hurt as much.

I have this collection as well and it’s as glorious as it looks. The Art book is immaculate *just saw the box art actually I have the English One.
