Okay, so i've been trying to track down the Japanese version of the Alien Quad and finally gave the japanese amazon.com a try and it ended up being around 30 Y's. So i converted the Japanese money into USD's and it ended up being a crazy amount??? Am i just retarded or is Japan really THAT expensive?

Here are is a link to amazon

Here is a link to the site that i converted the Yen's to USD's

I'm notsure I read the conversionright. Was 27 dollars or 27 cents or 27,000 dollars?

The conversion is right.

However, the item is not 30 yen, its about 30,000 yen, which comes out to a rather expensive $275.
