I always count shipping. I've never seen any Revoltech in "regular" stores -- either you order them online, where you pay shipping, or you get them from a specialty shop where there's a not insignificant retailer markup.
That said, besides eBay and bigbadtoystore, you can also get them from places like hlj.com and playasia.com.
And as I noted elsewhere (I think?) Revoltechs are generall pretty tiny. I think Dante might be a bit bigger than the others (there are sublines that are larger; I know the Frauleins are on a 6" scale), but the SFO figures are all pretty miniscule. Definitely under 5".
With respect to their general quality and whatnot, check out this guest SC review (and my own comments on Revoltechs in the accompanying blog entry):

But to summarize, I think they're okay, but not great. They've got less articulation than most ML figures (and many Transformers; I definitely recommend getting an actual
transforming Transformer if you're looking at those Revoltechs), are tiny, and, as imports, cost way more than your standard figures. They're also not
toys, since the articulation isn't intuitive and you'll find yourself needing to detach parts, position the joint accordingly, and then reattach them in order to achieve certain poses.
I'd rather just buy a cheap Power Ranger.
