See below for more details. 14 hours ago, Zaid said: How much was shipping on it from Mandrake? Last few Valks I got there were 4000k to ship with the cheapest option. I think they only offer EMS or DHL for Valk sized packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Manda has SAL shipping and it might take at least one/two months before you get the package. I used that method for my two 1/48 Yammie M&M valks and got it with no issues. DHL/EMS is the usual shipping method that we all use, however if you want to save and not in a rush to get your package, then SAL might work for you. Also see if SAL is trackable or you might forever loose your purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a pic from @jenius' Anymoon site. I've had my 1/48's sticker'd up for so long I forgot how "Plain Jane" they are out of the box. I like my DX Valks (Max & Hikaru 1S) but that Arcadia V.2 PF looks the best IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the missile set. I was eyeing the VF-1S too, but it's still a little too much high for me right now. If it was 25k I would probably have caved.

But I wouldn't be heart broken with a 21. Most likely we will hear something after the second set of the DX SSP/ Missile set gets released. Roy 1s and the DX YF-21 sounds reasonable, however Bandai loves to throw a curveball and maybe a long awaited HMR gets announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyll2 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 You got yours on a sealed box, so its not exactly comparable though I always have good experience with used items in Mandarake. Almost all purchased are in good condition and I always get compensation if I got yellowing/damaged/missing item (if it happened not declared in their description).

jeniusornome Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 It’s a quantum Valkyrie. Until you open it and the state resolves upon direct observation, it could have the correct numbering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
