Not sure your context. Do you mean they won't write it on the package and I'll get a customs charge? That's expected. Do you mean that the price is still 28,000 JPY elsewhere? Yes, that's seemingly the reality.
$240 plus whatever is far more reasonable than over 300 plus shipping plus customs, and it can always be cancelled between now and release should the price for some reason change.
Robot Kingdom has it listed for $199 USD

Re: Masterpiece Dinobot Color Prototype Images
If I put away about 30$ each month between now and July. I should have enough to cover this. That's not too bad.

AA will declared the sales price, not the MSRP. Also I find that while both AA and HLJ declared full sales value on the shipping label, iterms shipped from HLJ seems to get dinged more.
Also keep in mind, items over certain value are not eligible for SAL shipping by Japan Post as they do not provide insurance. The box for MP-41 may also be over the size/weight limit for SAL shipping. EMS is most likely the cheapest way to ship it.
AA won't let you cancel on your own but I have contacted and cancelled items with them before because the final product was changed from the prototype shown for pre-order. Also you can just ignore their payment request which happened to me once as I was out of town and not able to pay.

Can confirm everything I've ordered via HLJ got dinged; I'm expecting shipping/handling/customs to be astronomical when importing
Lol if AA choose to get pissy that just ensures they wouldn't get my money and won't in the future, their loss

Depends. Of every Gunpla, MP, s.h.figursts, books, cosplay, and misc hobby supplies I order from Japan. I only got dinged twice. Both time were shipped by HLJ using EMS. MP-36 shipped from AA using EMS surprisingly did not get dinged.
AA's fine. I've been ordering more from AA than from HLJ lately.

Re: Masterpiece Dinobot Color Prototype Images
Can't go wrong with either, I just love the private warehouse feature from HLJ
Edit - **** the warehouse, HLJ has it at 3000 Yen higher than AmiAmi. AmiAmi it is
