How badly you wish that 
? While Brando sports a Temporarily Out of Stock for the Moenegallet, I have my doubts about the Temporarily given http://web.archive.org/web/201007280..._p562c8d1.html they were already out of stock in 2010
However, it is in stock in Japan under the name TAP-B26M. I am willing to import (I am in Canada) say 10-20 of them so the package forwarder cost is spread out. One Moenegallet would be, my guess, about $20-25 + shipping (it quotes me 16470 for ten which per Google is 214 USD today) . Are you interested? Are others interested?
Edit: if we are ok with white http://direct.sanwa.co.jp/ItemPage/TAP-B26W the price might go even lower

There are tons of similar devices available in japan...just can't find any to buy in the US. Not sure why that is :/
For example - http://www.amazon.co.jp/iBUFFALO-AC%...cp_computers_3

It is a dongle that splits your power just before it gets to the brick on your laptop, allowing two people to use the one outlet. Incredibly simple and ingenious. It is showing out of stock now, not sure why, but they've been selling this for years!
When it comes back in stock, it will probably be listed here: http://www.cyberguys.com/product-lis...categoryid=588

I found a seller that has some in stock - but shipping is exorbitant. Anyone interested in a group buy?

This is what I use, and I also carry a tiny 3-way splitter:

At least the extension cord is useful for more than just sharing power, you can use it for other plugs. Your cord isn't useful for anything other than splitting the laptop power. I just started traveling with an extension cord and I kinda wonder how I lived without it. Three USA style plugs off just one plug converter? Genius!

i absolutely cannot stand the fact that there are different terminations for my:
-android tablet
-android phone
-ipod
-external harddrive (micro usb)
-external harddrive 2 (micro-usb type b)
-external harddrive 3 (mini usb)
ive gotten rid of 1 of the hard drives... but still have to carry 5 cords around. tried the cord adapters and they do not work.
really defeats the purpose of universitality (of USB) if there are so many connectors.
not to mention BOTH of my digital cameras (fuji x100 && olympus om-d) have 2 more connectors unique to all of the above. and then printers use another kind of usb????????????????????????

I ordered four Moenegallets. One is for me. Contact me if interested. I think the price might be as low as $18 + shipping from Vancouver,BC but I can't promise that yet. It won't be a lot more, though.
Edit: keep the PMs coming although this batch is sold but already it is at the package forwarder and hopefully will be here this week or early next week and so if there is enough interest I might do another batch soon.
