  Look online at various japanese anime/figure websites. They're all roughly around the same price but be aware that many are out of stock. Another option would be to physically go to Japan and hope to find some there. I saw an elin berserker figure once, and even then it was only second hand.

  Basically, the expensive ones are the painted versions. 133 USD seems around the lowest priced I've seen around. If you want to try your hand at model building and painting, there's unassembled versions for about 33-35 USD. I'm not a model painter but, I'd recommend getting a small airbrush and educating yourself in what paints work best for these. Again, if you want to go that route.

  I don't think there are any elin figures that you can build yourself.

  a japanese site like ebay that suports english and they give alot of details on the items condition even the littlest scratch on boxes.
  
  also thats a rare limited edition one so dont expect it to be cheap unless its used and abused

  I want to buy this one, but I don't know how to paint haha..
  
  is there any website or youtube instruction that teaches how to paint? (also i need all the names of painting tools)
  
  Not sure, do this painting task actually require expert level or very easy? if it is hard I would just buy completed one.
  
  thx

  Just go to your favorite search engine and type something like "plastic model kit paint tutorials" As for that figure, the proportions are even more off than an actual in game elin. Though the model quality is still superb.
