That is understandable, but flat rate shipping from Japan would sure be nice.

HLJ's website is really good to use for shipping estimate. Even if it's a new pre-order item, you can pick a similar size item and put in the cart to estimate the shipping rate.
For example. All MP-28 should be very similar in size and weight as the other MP cars. MP-30 should be the same as MP-27, and MP-29 should be similar to MP-13.
I personally don't like flat rate. It's a trap. People think that can take advantage of flat rate shipping and they end up buying a lot more. A lot of items from Japan come in small package so I'd rather pay according to their relative size and weight.
