Oversize luggage aside, keep in mind US citizens have $800 worth of goods they can purchase duty-free.... but you have to essentially buy the item(s), pay Japan consumption tax, get the refund on the way out of Japan, then bring it here.

After all said and done, it's not necessarily easier or cheaper to get it on your own.
