I think I'll wait for real preorders from Japan before commenting on the price.

Agreed on everything you said. The Canadian and American etailers usually inflate the preorder price, and then adjust downward once the Japanese sites post their preorders. This is nothing new and it's premature to complain about the price right now.

Oh here we go again. The "Do you work for Takara?" argument. The price BBTS posted is the price BBTS wants to sell to people. It is not the price "announced" by Takara. Officially Takara does not even have the distribution right outside of Japan.

But go ahead and spend your money on KO. It's you money.

No one is telling you what can or can not offend you. If you chose to be offended because of a thing you have imagined, that is entirely up to you. The advice offered was that because there is no price announced, it is premature to be upset with Takara who, again, have not announced any price.
