Hoping a forum vender ordered a few already...
You may as well drop it now then. No domestic vendor is going to take the risk of importing a whole bunch of these without a guarantee of sell. The cost will be the same; its not like the price will magically drop if someone else imports it into the country; they just pass that cost back on to you. Also this will be a low volume item, which means that TRD Japan will wait until they have a batch of orders before they produce them to ship out. That's the reason behind the estimated 45 day turn around time. They are not a mom and pop shop that builds to each order. They are a full scale manufacturing facility, so its not cost effective for them to setup there assembly line just to build one item at a time. The cost of overhead is just too great.
