I reside in Illinois USA. What would be the best deal for me to get my hands
on one of these and which sellers are most reputable? I currently have $520 on
hand though I still need to set up my PayPal balance.

its generally fine, but shipping costs (and for usa buyers, tariffs) can quickly
make it much more expensive.

The issue you will have with Tokyo Bricks is costs. I have had dealings with
Tokyo Bricks and in my dealings they communicated fast and effectively and what
I recieved was exactly what I wanted and ordered.

The issue is this sea freight is going to take several weeks and this is a very
large and heavy set so it would be in the 70-90 range. Plus tariffs and taxes.

Japan is generally 15%, depending on where you are those taxes could be 10% (averaging).

So the 520.00 set becomes 520+90+78+52=740.00 minimum (because I only averaged
to a lower standard). There are multiple 10305's local well under this.

What you are better off doing is buying local and avoiding tariffs, higher taxes
and shipping costs. I would not share the same view on smaller or multiple sets.
