If with every fee imaginable stacked on top you should still be able to undercut $55 even if this is a single purchase. Don't know about that, I just made another order and it may really be my last order. They do really get you with all the fees, even if you are doing it on the cheap.

So it about evens out but with a lot less hassle and fewer steps from eBay but with a much better selection on YAJ (1000 yen copies of this are there all day every day whereas this was a "good deal" by eBay standards). I'll still usually import these days. I trust no photos and no description from a Japanese seller more than I trust all but the most complete eBay seller. Also, this title is super duper common. More obscure stuff is much harder to find from American sellers...unless Rein-O is selling it to me of course. BTW, Buyee did some weird ish and closed my account so I'm open to suggestions for alternatives...

It's a great set if you're a fan of the film. They did use up too much paper for James Cameron, though I paid 960 yen shipped for mine, still in the plastic. Totally non-anime, but the Shinya Tsukamoto box set is cool in that way too, the 30-or-so page booklet is half english, half japanese, and some of the films have little speech anyway. About every 10th order of mine from YAJ has an issue though, and that's shipping within the country. Sometimes it's just the age of the items. Other times, it's something else. The first Shinya Tsukamoto box set I ordered, some weird rubber on the edges of the discs melted and stuck all the discs to the sleeves. Seller said, "Oh I didn't check the discs when I said it was mint."

Yeah, YAJ can be a hit or miss. I've picked up hundreds of items from there. Most of the time there's no issues but it happens. I bought the Evangelion box a while back and the seller forgot to put back the laserdiscs before shipping it out and I've received bootleg game carts that were supposed to be original. There's always a certain level of risk involved. You just have to decide whether it's worth it or not.

These are just the sticky edges that sometimes happens with a few LDs. Disclord/Ty posted some info about it but I can't remember why it happens. You can clean them pretty easily.
