no3Ljm 1,351 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 The black heatshield really looks nice on Hikaru's 1S. Was there any specific reason as to why he's the only one have a painted heatshield whereas Roy's and Max's have black? Thought it should be consistent when you get promoted to leader rank. Anyways, for those who's still looking for Roy's or late on trying to acquire them, I have a feeling that in the next week or so there will be some posts in the F/S thread from those who ordered multiples from various stores in case their orders is not going to be fulfilled.

CharlesXavier 22 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 As long as the orders are in "preparing for shipment" in Amazon JP, your order is confirmed. There will not be any cancellation from the seller unless you cancel the order yourself before it ships. Even if the sellers are not Amazon Japan, as long as the orders are fulfilled by Amazon, you can even rest more assured because it is based on stocks on hand. They are probably taking a while because the whole world is ordering Roy at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paco Grande 10 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Fedex just confirmed my taxes for Roy. Man that is painful. I was thinking that the Ebay seller had a decent price but I forgot about the taxes before pulling the trigger. I'm too used to Amazon Japan now where the taxes are paid up front and you know the total cost. $52 in taxes for a total of $477 Canadian or $368 USD. What a kick in the junk. Next time I'll wait for an Amazon seller that ships to North America. I managed to score one but I had to cancel it because I could not cancel my Ebay order. It was around $80 cheaper from the Amazon seller to my door. Anyway Roy is due to be delivered on Thursday so at least it's relatively fast shipping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

borgified 221 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 That's $477 CND only for the DX VF-1s Roy TV Version only without the TV Supers @Paco Grande. The TV Supers are going to add you another couple of hundred right there... That's half your monthly paycheck gone right there (or a flight back into my secondary home of Toronto for me if a vaccine is ready). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yami4ct 2 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Nin Nin got back to me and told me their shipments are running late due to COVID so I’ll get a shipping invoice early next week (I used private warehouse because COVID was making knowing what shipping would be like at the time of order rough). Given my PayPal protection lasts through December 30th I guess I have no reason to disbelieve them. For reference my order went in when it was $260. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
