I must say, looking at the news sometimes makes me makes me want to pull all my hair off ^^;
For example, the current discounts given by Chida-toy Rakuten Store, since a few weeks ago:
4,000 Yen for MG Sinanju
Half price for all the Gunplas you see here, and many others...
... HCM-Pros as well.
2,000 Yen off S.I.C. Vol. 44 Kamen Rider Zeronos & Deneb Imagin

Chida-toy Rakuten Store's discounts aren't the lowest I've seen actually. I believe I came across other toy store that gave more than 60 percent of discounts on many items sold.
It's understandable that the store must let go of many merchandises to give way to new releases, but still, the feeling of, "Why can't I get this and that here in where I live?" can be quite uncomfortable sometimes.
Not sure when Chida-toy Rakuten Store's campaign will end, but Amazon Japan has huge discount given for many items, weekly. Current good deals (12 February):

Another Japan-only news to leave everyone in despair. ^^; For international fans, HLJ is also giving discounts on selective Gundam items. Have a look in this link.
