Yeah, Japanese currency is strong. The situation has been a big suckfest for Japanese exporters for quite some time
(and bad for people who want to import Japanese goods).

It's pretty much 1 Yen = 0.01 GBP. So it would be about £50 for this steel. So it's also expensive for the people who live in Japan.

It's average pricing for limited edition packaging in Japan.

Look at the top sellers.

Or look up the Studio Ghibli digipack releases there (single disc; Amazing Spider-man steelbook has two discs by comparison):

Pretty normal

In Japan, they were trying hard to bring down the value of Yen for years: http://www.valuewalk.com/2013/02/bre...dollar-yearly/. It's dropped, but Japanese exporters want it to drop further.

Oh yeah, I agree: it is very shocking (especially for people like me who like Japanese imports). Sucks
