Guys, here in Brazil the RoC figure originally retailed for $40 and the Night Raven for $150. They only released the first two waves of RoC and nothing else since. So be glad you don't live in Brazil! (Though it does have other non toy-related benefits!)

And if you international guys buy from a US online site do you end up paying outrageous import fees?

Ive never been hit with custom's charges or those sorts of fee's, nothing more than usual postage fee's which you either learn to accept pretty fast or you give up collecting

If cost+shipping is over $50 (which it would be for most things) you pay like 75% import duty on BOTH in Brazil. Needless to say I only get stuff sent here stuff from China. Everything else goes to my brother in Idaho.

This is so true and brings back memories... I was born in Lima, Peru and we moved and lived all over Peru, Colombia & Guatemala (My biological father was in the oil industry) and back then my toys of choice were Masters of the Universe, Thundercats & Bravestarr. My mom tells me stories of her "toy connect", lol, like she was smuggling cocaine or something. They knew a lady who would fly to Miami on a regular basis and she would take orders for specific items from people. Now remember, this was in the 80's and he-man, thundercats and bravestarr had $30 pricetags.
