What is the difference with imported from Japan?

There really shouldn't be a difference from either because audio technical has an HQ here in US.

The packaging and instructions and stuff actually comes in multiple languages (Japanese and English). That being said, it's still an import, so be aware that your X and O buttons are going to be swapped when on the main menu.

As far as I know, there is no difference in molding, color, or anything between the US and Japanese versions.

No idea. Bought it used without original box. Does made in Japan mean anything to you?

Yes, I bought this and it was shipped from Japan and take little bit longer. The seller I'll give her 5 stars. Good stuff.

I just checked the filters and they say JAPAN as opposed to CHINA. I think you are good to go in that arena. Regards. Tom

I'm sure it's an import; but I don't know which country. It says import on the web page. I didn't keep the instructions that came with it. I'm guessing the country of origin would be on the instructions. If I had to guess I'd say China. It's good quality. I'm still very happy with mine.

Of course! I know the whole "japan import" throws people off but yeah, it's like setting up a brand new Vita. The only difference in the vita is the "O" is used for Enter. Meaning that normal when you wanna press X for yes It's O instead if that makes sense? Hope I'm so what of a help

there really isn't that much different between them, the biggest difference is, it is very hard to get most of the Japanese models in the US.

They are all the Japanese version. It's just an Anerican distributor. The box and instructions are all in Japanese.

I also have heard a few claims here and there that the models made in Japan, for example, are better in some fashion or other though I haven't seen any very convincing evidence of this (is a Honda made in Japan any better than the same model Honda car made in the US?). Buying an imported lens is actually likely to be more trouble than its worth -- you likely won't get a valid US warranty and, unless you're buying from a US shop that has imported the lens, returns or exchanges can be very complicated if not downright impossible. Plus if you're buying from a foreign seller, shipping is typically VERY slow and customs can sometimes be a problem (many sellers cheat by declaring merchandise as "gifts" below a certain amount in order to avoid customs fees but this sometimes doesn't work as planned).

I previously had one made in Japan (purchased on Amazon) and my latest purchase is made in China. The quality does feel more cheap (lighter weight, typos in the packaging, although to be fair, the Japanese translations have always been sketchy). I will be returning - I wish Amazon would be more forthcoming about the switch.

I don't see anything in English that says made in Japan. Except for some English instructions in a small booklet, everything else on the box and inside is written in what I believe to be Japanese.

The packaging is as you see it. The mushroom house website says they import from china, japan and korea, but isn't specific about what comes from where. Regardless of where they come from, these are quality.

That is the million dollar question I've seen import figures...take Figuarts DBZ line...sky rocket in price after their initial release...I know the packing on the US release was different then the Japanese release plus the Japanese release had 2 more parts then the US release...other then that your guess is as good as mine...
