Apparently, you can get the JM, Mustang, and Jag via eBay (some priced slightly higher with free shipping, some priced lower with $120.00 shipping).
...ask me how I know.

If they won't ship them directly, just use fromjapan.co.jp. They charge a $3 fee plus shipping (they have corporate-rate DHL and FedEx, which is cheaper than private seller shipping). They pack well and I've bought a ton of stuff through them including guitars. Easy as pie. They even have a blog post detailing how to order guitars through their service:

You can order from any Japanese store with FJ.

So, it looks like ~$1,350 shipped is the going rate on ebay for both the Mustang and the Jaguar.
Prices seemed a bit higher on FromJapan.
Does that sound about right?

Re: Fender Japan 2021 limited edition
FromJapan is just a proxy service (they do not sell any items), the prices are from the Japanese stores in yen (Ishibashi, Ikebe-Gakki, etc.). For example, if you want this 2021 LE black Jag:
https://www.ishibashi.co.jp/ec/product/0bb0gpowg-8784
It is 113,500 yen, which is $1035 USD at today's rates. The shipping will be another $150-$200 (for DHL -- EMS will be closer to $100), so you're looking at around $1150-$1250 total if you buy it through FromJapan's service. You can pay with a credit card and you don't have to pay any extra paypal fees.
The ebay prices are $100-$200 more because they add in ebay fees and a small profit to the purchase price.

OK, now I see that a number of affiliated sites offer these within the core From Japan search function. I'm not sure how I missed it the first time, but it's pretty cool...thanks!
