Those are real reasonable prices actually! Do you know how shipping works with that? At a glance I can't find anything for int shipping. Either or thanks for the links man!
Those sold already, not to be had currently, you need to use a proxy to purchase these from YAJ (Yahoo Auctions Japan), there is a thread that explains very thoroughly just do a search. International shipping is insane right now because of Covid, Japan post is basically shut down, so proxies are shipping through FedEx, UPS or DHL, so crazy high prices.

yup that 2nd link is the bid i won.
I used buyee. If the seller notes how much it weighs, you can get an idea with buyee's shipping quote calculator.
I recently moved to korea so it might be a lot cheaper than shipping to US.

It is going to be very difficult prefabricate it 
Perhaps split it into two parts; metal base and the rest in Plexi.

I don't think itll be too hard to replicate. A lot of trial and error for sure.
Once it arrives I'll go ahead and start testing

Possibly. The From Japan Retro Sale guy is notorious for buying up stuff on YAJ and selling it for a substantial markup.

you might be able to make something functional but a 1:1 reproduction would require some kind of vacuum forming or something to get the shape and style right. It's a very complex design with raised Konami formed into the plastic
