this is the stuff I could not buy. the rxh and the RM I would have thrown down big time for but I was told that would be rude. So they are still in Japan.

So was all of this stuff mainly in shops and owned by the shop owners themselves? Did you also get to check out different locations as well such as studios, factories etc?

does anyone know its name in Japanese? I believe it's Belzor by Marmit. Usually under 5000 yen.

So they are still in Japan. just curious... why would it be rude? is it because he didn't really want to sell it, so it's rude to insist you want to buy it by offering him a ton of money... or because you are a foreigner who would be removing it from japan?

I think it's just a matter of respecting the owner's request that if he says it's not for sale, that you not be crass and approach it with the attitude of "everyone's got a price"...

You gotta remember things arent the same in Japan as here-different customs/lifestyles and heritages makes for different ways of doing things-Best thing is to be respectful when your a guest in someone elses home land.
