Normally I would agree, but that's when dealing with larger $100+ figures. These are going to come in tiny boxes most likely but we wont save anything in shipping since the minimum cost from Amazon Japan is pretty high.

AJ fast shipping is three days, compare that to what BBTS charges and the cost is roughly the same.

Also depends entirely on the figure. I usually go Amazon JP for MPs, but the funny thing is, the recent MPs after shipping were the same cost at BBTS basically, and BBTS has $4 shipping, so hardly a big difference. Also, most of the recent MPs were available at BBTS within 2 weeks of Amazon JP shipping, so the gap has narrowed significantly there.
