The price disparity should actually be less wide, if you account for shipping. I ordered 2 from Amazon JP. With their only shipping option to the U.S. (3 - 5 day estimate), my total is 14,934 yen. If I ordered 2 from NY using JP Post Airmail (10 - 20 day estimate), the total is 14,385 yen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big s 90 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 It was a bit frustrating with so many items going up for preorder on the same night, but I was able to get 2 kaemphers 2 spikes and 2 vf 1d’s. No luck on a captain marvel though, but at least that wasn’t my favorite out of the group. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lavinrac 22 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Just ordered from HLJ and cancelled CD Japan. I like CD Japan but their shipping is slow and pricy. I have stuff in my HLJ Private warehouse all the time, and for some reason this preorder was VERY reasonably priced at HLJ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpaceCowboy 22 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Just got mine from AmiAmi. I did SAL (registered) which comes with tracking...do you know if AmiAmi lets you change the shipping when the product arrives before you pay? It's always annoying that they give you 8 or so options but no indication of the expected shipping costs. I don't really care if I get the preorder I've waited months for in a few weeks as opposed to a few days, but I do want tracking. I also don't want to pay the price of the toy in shipping.

derex3592 921 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Well after being up in the middle of the night, and now up in the morning to see that this is still readily available, I think I'm done doing pre-order madness for HM-R, there doesnt seem to be a need any longer.

There really wasn't any so-called PO-madness with the HMR line since, I dunno, the Hikaru-1S or so. Even then, it wasn't as mad as the DX Frontier v2-valks. Most of the HMR valks are even better discounted than the PO-pricing on release-day, anyway. They'll even shelfwarm for a couple of weeks and more. Some people here seems to just keep on hyping HMR PO-madness stuff everytime, however, for some whatever reason. The only PO-madness to watch out for nowadays are usually on the Metal Build Gundams (sometimes Metal Build Mazingers, too), if you're into that stuff like the rest of far east asia-based fans (and shops/scalpers) or something, it seems...

Tking22 142 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I got exceptionally lucky last night at HLJ, after trying, and failing, on AmiAmi, 25 or so after 11 HLJ opened up. Zero issues, nabbed everything I wanted without issue, Figuarts Captain Marvel, Figuarts Spike Spiegel, Figuarts Broly, Figuarts Gogeta, and Hi-Metal R VF-1D. This will be the first time in about a year I was able to get Dragonball Figuarts from a Japanese site, and not having to wait for BBTS for the Bluefin release.

I only got a VF-1D x3 for each mode and 1 to keep MISB. I’m just going to paint the spare 1/100 VF-1D model kit heads and put them on CF VF-1A bodies. It’s too bad the VF-1D fuselage and small back piece won’t be easy to remove otherwise I’d just paint and swap all the necessary pieces and put them on a spare VF-1J Max body. Hopefully there is an official VF-1D VR planned. I’ll also use the CF VF-1A to fill out the rest. Edited December 3, 2018 by sh9000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Log in again and go to select "Modify Existing Orders" and select the correct shipping method of your choice. You won't pay of the price of the toy in shipping as it roughly 2K/3k yen in either EMS or DHL. I have an order with Amimai to be paid shortly and I switched it from EMS to DHL because the Postal Strike in Canada suspended all overseas mail and parcels two weeks ago. Now that the Liberals forced the Postal Workers back to work last week, I'm not taking the risk in having sent via EMS as the mail and parcels will be backlogged till January before I do get my package and everything is cleared. I've ordered a DX VF-31 valk plus the SV-262 Hs add on set from Amazon Japan and got it within 5 days after I made my payment as they used DHL for shipment.
