    I read that a little too quick and thought you said:

    Being from the EU I can tell you that HLJ never undervalues their items so I always have to pay the full 20% import sales tax (the tariffs) every time I order something through them. So I am not surprised that they follow the other laws strictly as well. I remember watching an interview with Scott (the founder and at the time owner of HLJ) who said that they don’t do a lot of business with the EU compared to the US (Gee, I wonder why this is). I assume they will not start losing customers from the US as well with applying the correct tax percentage to customers from there. The other store that is very strict with following the regulations is amiami, I wonder what their state on these new US taxes is.

    Well May I ask for one final Thing? had an awkward turn in the latest episode:

    HLJ just got back to me insisting "the rate is correct" so I'm going to see what other stores charge me. I love HLJ, would hate to have to stop using them because they go overboard with these things. If it's universal, then I might have to cool off some purchases for a while!

    I usually get import releases outside of Mafex figures three to fourth months after release with BBTS. Especially big items

    Finished the -1j !

    For some reason stuff I wanted such as dx fire valk, sdf-1 reissue, etc all ended up getting released the month of October, my wallet is literally bracing for impact.😁 release delay? Yes please.

    I also have the SDF-1 on order and some other high ticket items. Hopefully we can convince them to change their tactic.

    ha..the fix is to use Buyee to get it from HLJ, then you'll 'only' get the 15% tariff penalty 😛 oh crap...I have an SDF-1 on preorder from HLJ....crap crap crap, that is going to be a 30% er. UGH.

    No, you work up to it. Done right, that opening crawl could fill two hours with total excitement!

    Something like a FAG/Mospeda kitbash? https://jp.pinterest.com/pin/336221928450528161/

    A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace has finally had an episode that supports the idea that it's a comedy, and it ain't bad. Kinda makes you wonder why they spent the first two depicting the main character in abject misery the entire time. A Gatherer's Adventure in Isekai is still pretty darn generic to the point of being not really worth watching. It did, however, finally do something reasonably novel. My Awkward Senpai is finally attempting to do romance, though not well. The comedy aspect is still missing.

    Hm... I got charged for my VF-19 over on HLJ, but it hasn't been added to my Private Warehouse yet. It seems to be still stuck in processing? Hope it doesn't take too long and nothing goes wrong.

    😆 So the important bit is barely long enough to boil an egg and the rest is filler? This feels a lot like that suggestion that Star Wars's creative team use the World Between Worlds from Rebels to retcon the sequel trilogy out entirely... which would then require them to explain WTH the World Between Worlds even was, and feel like the same kind of cheap knee-jerk as what it replaced.

    Another possible explanation for it is that they screwed up what was meant to be the same reference to its pilot that can be found in the game's loading screens. Several machines in the loading screens that are associated with specific characters have a / followed by the character's initials including: YF-29B Perceval /R.B. Custom VF-22 Sturmvogel II / M.J. Custom VF-22 Sturmvogel II / M.F.J. Custom VF-22 Sturmvogel II / G.K. Custom VF-27 Lucifer / M.R. Custom Queadluun-Rher (sic) / K.K. Custom YF-30 Chronos / R.S. Custom Though this convention is NOT applied to the pics for Aisha's VF-19E or Mina's VF-11C. If it had been, they would simply have put the wrong name after the slash since the VF-11C is Mina Forte's custom aircraft, not the VF-19E.

    HLJ hasn't responded but I think I get what they're doing, they're applying the Chinese tariff rate because the products originated in China. That's really following 'the letter of the law' as they say. I don't think that's what Anime Export did.
  24. Lolicon
    Looks like HLJ added a time limit to their "unlimited" private warehouse. Guess my Fire Valkyrie and other stuff is going to sit there until the tariffs are rescinded or March 31, 2026, whichever comes first.

    I hope so...getting nervous.
  26. grogall
    Thanks! Since there is only one version of this GBP, It will probably be 30% higher then retail, US tariffs don't effect me so I'm good there, but just hope it doesn't take forever to pop up on Mandarake....😱

    *hurries and fixes original post* I have no idea what you're talking about...🤫 I had three out of five of the FT Aerialbots and sold them. I don't miss them. If you like heavy blocks of robots with limited posability and unnecessarily complex engineering you might like them, but I didn't care for them, and I especially hated their Silverbolt. As for DST's, I guess I thought about them they way you think about their Constructicons... kinda neat, but ultimately not G1 enough to hold my interest. But I think that works out better for me, by most accounts the QC of the Aerialbots was much worse than their Constructicons. It's funny, I actually though this set wasn't G1 enough, either, but I wanted Scrapper because he looked cool and he's my favorite Constructicon. I liked him enough that when I saw Hook using his crane as a sickle I figured I'd try one more and liked that one enough to go in on the rest. Long Haul was a bit of a bear, but Bonecrusher is a return to form. Can't wait to see how Mixmaster, Scavenger, and Prowl turn out.

    This IS nothing so far me... Haven't heard a peep.
