Welcome Jonebone. Kosmic Stardust from NA and AA here. Don't let the roasters get you down. Yeah I'll admit the hyperinflation is a b*tch. I'm a gamer at heart so I bought a PC Henshin to complement my Turbografx and unlock the full Hucard library. It quickly paid for itself. 
A Turbo Everdrive pays for itself much sooner and does less damage to the hardware and HuCards.
Yes, that was my first purchase after buying a Turbografx. Still, it is nice to have physical copies of games I enjoy playing, when the means to do so allow.
The PC-Henshin yields access to the much more affordable PC Engine library, without buying another console to add to the existing clutter (though a loose Coregrafx is certainly an affordable option as well).
However Jonebone specifically said he was interested in acquiring the original releases, CIB no less, so an import adapter is another valid option for allowing access to legit releases which may be cheaper in Japan or even never released stateside.
