"Dino Device 2: Dragon Version" actually.

You should include the currency code (USD=US Dollars, AUD=Australian Dollars).

Yahoo! Japan Auctions:
Crypto Toy:

I am too lazy to list anything else for Yahoo! Japan Auctions (auctions.yahoo.co.jp), or amazon.co.jp for that matter, but there is a large amount of Smilesoft stuff in there for anyone that can get around the common "no overseas shipping" problem. Use "ダイナデバイス" to search for Dino Device, "バグサイト" to search for Bugsite, "テレファング" to search for Telefang, and "スマイルソフト" to search for Smilesoft.

I found a product on Yahoo! Japan Auctions that will actually ship overseas:
http://page21.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j34658413

It is Telefang: Speed Version. There is only a day left, no bids so far, and it is for 1,001 yen.

^That one doesn't appear to have the antenna, though, judging from the lack of the word "Limited" on the box.

It also seems to say that it's cartridge only, and that because it's used they can't guarantee that the saving will still work. >_> Screw that... (I'll translate any descriptions if you want.)

Honestly, I'd hate to imagine figuring out how to set up an account there anyway, and the payment methods would be completely different (no paypal). Plus anything you get is always going to be super expensive after international shipping. );

Still, Yahoo Auctions is a nice place to find pictures of stuff. XD Here's the links...
Telefang
Bugsite
Dino Device

If you do find something there that you absolutely must get (like a set of games), there are sites that will bid on or buy things for you, for a fee. D: I'd consider all other options first though.

The Amazon.jp marketplace is also pretty good for buying player's guides, since most of them are sold there for 1 yen. D: Amazon.jp can ship internationally for books that are in stock, but not video games, and not for anything sold in the marketplace. :/ They also don't include pictures from the individual sellers, unlike auctions... *nod*

I keep considering grabbing that $30 copy of Beetle Grapple, as I've wanted to own it for a while but having played it a bit emulated.. I'd say it's not worth quite that much x_x It's a pretty simplistic game, all you really do is guess where your opponent is going to move next turn and attack that spot. You win a match and you get their beetle, which can attack in a different (much less useful) pattern than the one you started with.

Hilarious art direction, due to human characters being as anime as is legally possible while the beetles are rendered in such anatomically-correct 3D that it lags my computer whenever it attempts to render them, but not worth thirty bucks imo.

Well this sucks. Someone outbid me on Telefang 2. I was hoping to get it at the starting price.

Oh well, at least I got bugsite, and I doubt anyone would compete for Dino Device 2.

[Blaziken257]

You should have placed a higher maximum bid on that (maybe US $10). That way, you stand a better chance of snagging it. And if nobody bid on it, you would still pay the starting price regardless.

[andwhyisit]

OMG, I got it! Just barely though... but who cares! I HAVE TELEFANG 2*!

*In a few weeks maybe.

[Blaziken257]

Where did you get it? Amazon?
