Redge, is yours the same as the Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind DVD Collector's Box (Limited Edition) Japan found in Yesasia? (include Giant God Warrior image DVD Case & an Ohm Bug mode, and A ceramic Statue of Nausicaa & Artwork of the Movie)

http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1002856676/code-j/section-videos/

It's selling at US$US$455.98 in Yesasia.  :o

Nausicaa figure set is still available at www.amazon.co.jp (http://www.amazon.co.jp) at 4,935 JPY = 2,493.23 PHP.  The Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind DVD Collector's Box (Limited Edition) (Japan Version) is not available at www.amazon.co.jp (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000APZPC/qid=1117379128/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_2_3/249-7263360-3130751) anymore at 26,040 JPY = 13,139.95 PHP.  But it's still available at www.yesasia.com (http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1002856676/code-j/section-videos/) just as sir pchin said at $455.98 = 24,850.91 PHP  :o :o :o. That's a big difference from Amazon japan. >:(

Included in the set:

Beware of a seller in ebay that is selling similar item with figure & claims it's a Taiwan edition. It's a bootleg!  >:(

I already had an argument with the seller. He insist it's the original & won't accept return. Cost me $45 includding shipping. I reported him to ebay & probably a few others did too. Now he's no longer a registered ebay seller.  ;D

Anyway, I'll just keep it na lang for souvenir....the most expensive bootleg I ever paid for!  :-\ The consolation is...it doesn't look that bad after all. Will post some pix  ;D

The seller claims it's from Taiwan but at the back cover clearly shown R2 & all in Japanese words... I'm gona send him a real nasty email...oh ya  >:(

Bro,  Baka the seller got it all wrong.  It looks like the R2 Japan version.  I think he mistakenly thought that it’s a Taiwan release.

From Int Forum, a member says:

"I have both the Taiwan small box and the Japanese big box. Both figures are identical. The Taiwan small figure box actually has R2 Japan on the box, as the only difference between the Taiwan and Japanese boxes are the actual disks inside. All other contents are identical."

Based on the above member's comment, if both boxes have the R2 printed & contents are identical except the disc then my set is definitely a bootleg.

Look at my figure's coloring & compare to the original figure pix that posted by you on May 29 which has good details (finishing). The color or painting is badly done on my figure. The blue color of the skirt is bleeded or overlapsed to het leg/tight. The light blue color itself is no where near the original's workmanship ..... :-[

After leaving a nasty negative feedback for the seller in ebay, he is unsatisfied, hence file a case against me & engaged the service of SquareTrade Mediator to have my negative feedback removed from ebay  ;D

Well, I gave the mediator all the members' feedback & even attached photos for his perusal and at the end the seller just said:

"I am willing to refund but I only refund the full payment (including the shipment charge), excluding the custom he paid. Instead, he may keep the set & don't have to send it back"

Well, since I'm getting a refund....why not!  ;D

Redge, the quality (workmanship) of your figurine is obvious. My set is really bad. It has color bleeding, poor finishes, very rough, etc...here's a pix of my set:
