Duck, you may be able to secure an "International Version" cheaper than buying on ebay. Sideshow had 500 as a Domestic Exclusive and a larger run for the international market (1500 - I think...) and they did open an offer out to US customers to buy an international version. They are only different in the little stamp on the bottom of the base, but otherwise appear to be identical. You can try to contact Sideshow directly to see if that offer is still open. Good luck!!!
Thanks! I'll have to check that out then
