My list of things I’d like to try with the DX so far: - see if the 1/48 Yammie missiles fit (and if not, how different is the fit) - see if the YF-19 FSP (1/60 scale) weapons work with this - check the goodness of fit of the VF-171 style missile packs on he DX 1/48 - skeptical that it will even work at all, but at least take a look at how the 1/48 Yammie GBP set and the strike packs could fit the DX.

Thought only when you use PP that you get charged upfront with CDJ preorders. i never use PP when preordering with cdj. CDJ required full payment up front, plus shipping. It was paid via PP. The initial shipping was $20. Then out the blue they requested another $29. This toy with no frakkin missiles set has now become $220-230 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I’ll be test fitting the DX missiles from my 171 and YF-19 when my 1J arrives, for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 35 minutes ago, Agent-GHQ said: That sounds like bullshit to me. The preorder required full payment up front which include shipping. That’s on their part for not properly accessing the shipping. Now they just billed be for $29 for shipping when I already paid for shipping. Its like they double charged you for shipping. If they pull this crap for the next VF-1 PO then I’m done. I’ll take my chance when it becomes in stock. It’s not totally their fault since preorder shipping cost are estimates. You have to do your part too by planing how big and heavy your preorder item might me . I do that for all my preorders . base on the actual size and weight of the items, their shipping cost of 5200 yen for ems is pretty fair .

Syro Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) CDJapan's original shipping cost listed to me was 3700 yen ($33.55) and went up to 5200 yen ($47.15). So $13.60 more. Not super happy about it but that's not what I would call crazy. EDIT: I hate that math made me feel better. Im shaking my fist at my 4th grade math teacher.

Thought everybody here knew that already that you get charged upfront when you use PP on CDJ. At any rate, try to use a CC (vs or mc, don't think they accept dsc) with them instead of PP. That way, you don't get charged up front and you get to cancel your order if you don't agree with the shipping upcharge or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Well, we’ll see if the Amazon estimate of 1/3 or the DHL estimate of 1/7 is correct. Looks like AmiAmi is the slow kid. Unfortunately I’m visiting relatives and can’t access my account to check status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 48 minutes ago, jenius said: This has been explained already. NY charges far more than actual shipping so when they ask for more, it seems unjust. Other retailers, who charge amounts based on reality, get understanding when they guess wrong on packaging dimensions and have to charge actual shipping costs. All good. NY also has the lowest initial preorder price by far. Gotta give and take. I’m just glad we have options and don’t need to pay a middle man import fee.

That means no small packet.

iguanaman8989 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 HLJ shipped this afternoon! Now I'm on the fence regarding the missiles. I don't know if I really want them, but I don't want to miss out on getting a set. And that means I'm probably gonna end up with a set.

Might get a bit delay if there’s lots of roll over volume from Christmas . its a better bet if you can switch to Dhl since sal parcel don’t have full insurance. sal parcel means your package will be mixed with many other Sal parcel packages , all over 2000g , some are very heavy and will damage your package if it somehow fall over /lands on it . Sal small packet is ok because it will be mixed mostly with packages that’s under 2000g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
