Wow. Japan seems to have more Joes at retail than the whole USA.

That's because the Japanese don't like GIJoe nearly as much as sci-fi robot lines. (Transformers, Robotech, ect.) I'm amazed how cheap I got some MOC 1980s Japanese figures. Those same figures on American cards are at least double if not triple the cost. I have Tony to thank for the majority of my Japanese GIJoe collection.

Thanks everyone!
I can get Takara on a regular basis and I have hunters throughout Tokyo and Osaka/Kyoto/Nagoya so I have no issues finding nearly everything. As for pricing, depends on the figure/condition and such. I can tell you that I tend to sell them for much less than eBay but sometimes that can be a hit or miss.

I only dealt directly from Japan once. Like I said, I got most of it from Tony. But all you have to do is go look at ebay to see the pricing difference between a MOC Japanese GIJoe and a USA version. There was a MOC Japanese Destro that sold for $23 recently and wasn't in too bad of shape. Try to find an American carded Destro for anywhere close to that price.
