Very nice.  Plastic Cretins also did a little resin pilot figure that fits in the cockpit.

Ooo thanks i have to check it out.

I just got mine actually.  They arrived at the same time as my VF-1Ds.  I highly recommend it :good:

Amazon really  needs to rethink their whole shrink wrap deal and nothing else.

They pack for the Japanese postal/delivery system. They don’t beat the sh!t out of packages the way the rest of the world does haha

Sorry to see the squashed box, @scand

For those of us who ordered the DX VF-1J from amazon, did anyone have similar issues with the packaging from Amazon JP?

I’ve ordered from amazon whenever possible. The shipping packages have arrived a little worn but haven’t had anything arrived damaged yet *fingers crossed*

Shipping delay from AmiAmi for my 1D.

Receive an email saying that they messed up the shipping weight and the package was returned to them.

Will re-invoice. :(

They have handled many 1D boxes by now, how can the weight we wrong?

HMR VF-1D.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but what's with Hikaru's smile and wave to the "camera" from the cockpit?  Poor Minmei is about to fall off the 1D's hand!:lol:

(Much respect to Master Tenjin for the added humour!)

could be.

I was surprised because I imagine that shipping is automated. But now that I think about it, each purchase could have different weight, so someone possibly needs to do things manually.

April’s HLJ haul.

Now I’ve got all four main Beast Wars Masterpiece figures.

The rest of the DX Ryusoulger stuff and role play gear (I’ve got a bunch of the collectibles already and want to hear all those different noises!)

(Also, figures that HLJ would still have the initial release Beginning Soul but not the current promotion Kata Soul)

Yep...that's how they pack. The box for my DX 1J was completely open and left on my porch like this:

Luckily, no damage to the box inside.

Since where talking about squished boxes from Amazon.jp at this moment, has anyone wondered about how is Amazon.jp boxes going to fair when Arcadia's PE VE-1 gets shipped out and delivered to those who ordered it on the first week of May? :unknw:

It's concerning but I try not to worry too much about toys. These things bring me joy and I leave the worrying to other crap that happens in life. If anything, I think the shrink wrap helps prevent the box inside from getting damaged.

Sigh... my latest purchase from YJA.:

Yamato 1/60 v2 VF-1A DYRL Hikaru with Super Parts

 

Note:  This is after I had just recently bought the non-Super Part version of the same toy.   *sigh*

 

Anyways, I was watching the most recent Godzilla King of Monsters movie trailer, and I noticed.... they are fighting in Boston!

For 4 years my dorm room had a view of the Charles River, so I'd recognize that CITGO sign anywhere!

Got some stuff in from HLJ. Love the 1D, no real complaints, Captain Marvel is a bit meh, but Broly and Gogeta are fantastic! Love these guys, highly recommended, just like the DB Super Broly movie, I'm 12 and still love Dragon Ball, come at me.

I was in japan for the holidays last week. I was in the Nakano Broadway area and was able to get a V2 1/60 VF-1A (loose with no box, missiles or gun) for $25 and wandered into a pre-owned cellphone/ipad store and got a very good price on a 2018 mac mini.

Keep your eye on this link on BigBadToyStore, they haven't gotten in the US Bluefin stock yet, I've seen Broly go on and off of pre-order for the last few days or so.

You wouldn't happen to be looking for one of these to go with it would you?

MacrossWorld "straight shooter" @Vifam7 hooked me up with this massive 1:12 Panzer IV Ausf. D...

...but it cried out for paint, see.

Now, it looks more like a tank to me.  :D
