MP Coronation Starscream in 2012 was 13,000JPY. MP Shockwave which is a little more simplistic and doesn't really come with any big accessories was 16,800 in 2016 with the lights being the only possible reason for the increased price. Meanwhile Soundwave was 15,800JPY in 2013, but taller, sturdier, and came with Laserbeak. Without electronics I would guess Prime would drop at least 5,000JPY since audio is more expensive and they probably have to pay for the voice.

Free international shipping? When I clicked details it still seemed to lead to the international shipping cost. While their shipping is fair, it's always more than what's listed (at least to the US).
EDIT: I added it to my cart for giggles and they would have charged me ¥1200 to ship (which is damn good).
When people say "included" it usually means the same as "total". It just means they don't want to bother breaking down the price. I use the exact same wording Will does all the time. He's $305~ on Amazon.co.jp plus $10~ shipping.
