I grabbed this one. With shipping it came to about $76. Pretty pricey, but cheaper than any of the others I found. They had 4 when I bought mine, now there's only 1 left. They may get more though, as they're in Canada where these FE figures aren't hard to find at retail.

PSHAW! $20 in shipping? This is why I've come to loathe Ebay (and some in the Amazon Marketplace too.)
But, I do want to thank you for looking out for us collectors.
I figure I'll wait just a bit for things to calm down at this point. Who knows. Maybe I'll still be able to pick one up somewhere along the way. Maybe Takara will run some more. *crosses fingers*

Shipping from Canada might actually be that expensive. It's pretty ridiculous how expensive shipping is these days. It costs me $13 to ship a deluxe within the same province by the cheapest method. Primus knows how much it would cost to send a Voyager to the States. And before you ask, no I can't get you any First Editions, all the good ones are sold out. People make it sound like we're some magical land of plenty, but in reality, things sell out in a matter of a couple days or even hours, depending on the product.

I live in the same city as this scalper and it is $36 to ship to me.

same seller, love how this is soooo rare, it was 9.99 on clearance at Canadian Tire for a month. I love how his TFs are "Canadian Variants" lol.

Keep this in mind. Over the last roughly 2 years or so the power structure at Ebay has changed. Where once the sellers were the kings it's reversed. Now the power is in the hands of the buyer. Using the rating system (with the stars) ebay can offer incentives to sellers who maintain 4-5 stars. If they gouge you on shipping then rate them low on the shipping costs. If you can prove they gouged you leave negative feedback. These things combined can damage their selling account and the negative feedback can cause a loss in business.
