Going to create an account with MyK and also check those proxies. Going to place an order for April release instead of trying for a December release. Happy to help. Worst case, the proxies might say they are maxed out, but at least you'll have a much better idea about what your options are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trick here is to not elect the secure packaging. They just put a box in a box. HOWEVER, that means you'll trust the original seller to package correctly. When it arrives in their warehouse, you can request a pic and they'll send it to you so you can make that call. He had other stuff in that package....looking for someone that just had the DX and nothing else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was seemingly insignificant, in terms of added weight/box size...but I have dealt with Buyee before and I don't trust them enough to have not charged him more because of the extra items. Thus, why I am looking for someone that just requested shipping on a single DX. If it is 150USD, then it is what it is and it would make buying one from Buyee a worse option than eBay at the moment.

altego101 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Curious if anyone else got this similar message from NNG for their Roy's. For the record I was in the first batch of orders at the $170ish price. Ordered two. This is their response for me last Monday. Not sure if its wording or if im reading into it too much but "stock delivery" implying that they are waiting from Bandai stock? Ive sent them a follow up message for more details. Thank you for your message, Due to the restriction with the covid 19 Our stock delivery is a bit late. Your order will be ship as soon as possible If you need anything else please let us know.

Fedex and DHL is by DIM weight, so which ever is larger they will use that one. weight or Dim Weight. $150 is defiantly the in the Highs. Someone used fromjapan to ship a DX and it was around $85 ,they probably double boxed that one too. Base on some replies from members that shipped their dx from other proxies, Depending on the size of the shipping box, your shipping cost can be from 6000 yen to 15000 yen also from other members: Tenso is charging around 5525 yen for DHL Amiami is charging around 6000 yen for DHL Edited December 7, 2020 by F360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Yeah- I had that 'gigantic' white envelope in the middle of the 2 boxes in this pic, so that contaminated my $150 shipping experience. Thinking about it now I bet if I would have shipped them individually I bet I could have saved 50% LOL Buyee doesn't apparently make any attempt to optimize shipping, they just throw everything into a bigger box and let it go as is.

jvmacross Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Yeah...If they would have just used the Yodobashi.com box and slapped their shipping labels on that, it probably would have been less. I wonder if they would be open to doing that if you contacted them....150 USD is too extreme for just one DX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several members received that message. Best guess is that they've exhausted the stock that Bandai sent them and have moved on to stock from other stores that they secured, which is taking a bit longer to show up. I was in the first round as well, but ordered only one. Received a FedEx shipping notice within 24 hours of release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered two at around $225 and I'm still waiting. They estimate they will ship sometime this week. So, either the late stock they're referring to is intended for something other than their initial batch of shipments to customers, or something else is at play.

F360 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 price seems to be going back up on amazon.co.jp seems to be around 30000 yen before shipping to USA. now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketblast Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 All sellers on ebay say this is an "expensive" item in japan and that the price has been rising. As far as shipping goes, one seller used COVID as the excuse though they were suppose to ship 1 day after my first one with the same shipping method (FedEx) and it has not been scanned into FedEx system yet since Dec. 1. My most recent order a few days ago is FedEx as well and has been processed through the system and I believe should be here by the end of the week.

Drad Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just checked out an unboxing video for the DX 1/48 VF-1S by Luna Park. The second comment by AlmostOnTimeHero (paraphrasing here): "I checked out your store. You have a lot of nice things! I wish you the best. Good luck. "From Japan, selling Beautiful Figures to Beautiful People Around the World." That's your slogan. LOL. I don't think you know your demographic." GOLD.
