    Well, I'm off to Japan next week, so I could see if I had any room left on the return trip if you want?

    That would be pretty awesome but ive no idea if this product is already out on shelves over there or how big the box would be. Thanks for the offer! Maybe if you get a spare 10mins have a look in an audio shop for it.

    I guess the other problem is i cant find a price for it anywhere , so dunno even roughly how much that'd cost

    If I were you I would post the manuals/receipt, and throw away the box if you are bringing it in luggage otherwise your more than likely to be hit with a customs charge.
