I ran across so much hyperbolic non-sense looking around it was hard to discern who actually knew what. I figured after HLJ shipped my Andrew Garfield Spider-Man I'd get a clear picture. I straight asked them about the different charges. Brought up that AG Spider-Man was being charged 15% but the new Scarlet Spider was 30% and was told AG was made in Japan but SS wasn't... okay. So then I asked even if that were true why is it that the baseline charging for DHL more than doubled along with whatever that service charge was. I received a curt reply, they don't make those numbers... and that was it, no more responses. What Derex and vladykins quoted is precisely what I paid for AG. Now it would be nearly $100. So I have no clear picture. I know Big In Japan has offered to put down COO for the 19P as Japan, don't know what the baseline price is going to be anymore though, they haven't responded to me. In terms of shipping quality, for where I live in Albuquerque my preference in order is FedEx, DHL, UPS and USPS. FedEx and DHL are nearly identical, UPS has two stations with their own little fifedoms and it always takes 24-48 hours to ship between the two before they will deliver to my area of town. I've had multiple packages from USPS reach the substations five minutes from my house completely disappear. I was already primed to pay a lot more in shipping to avoid that constant headache.

I did my own calcukatuon for shipping an item, don't know what the handling fee nonsense is but either theirbcalculator is broken because the shipping and duty fees are both doubled or Japanese companies have difured out there's enough confusion they can screw us. Those numbers are not correct. Duties are 15% from Japan, not 30%, and I priced DHL directly.
-
They haven't been charging me a carrier handling fee and 4200 is 30%.

These are the planned super parts?

I don't know the base price of the shipping for this toy since I don't know the box size. I can say the base price for shipping Mafex Andrew Garfield from HLJ was 2200 yen plus 15% of the items price (3300) total and Nin-nin are known to be dirty so it sounds to me like they're frakking you.
-
Yes it is the same figure in different colors and higher price.
-
DHL is cheaper wirh the new price structure.

I was curious how that Storm was going to do. That costume is an odd time-piece. For me it's special for three reasons. It's one of Storms Outback costumes, it's how she was actually dressed in Uncanny 275 (and 273), and that was the first costume that got a release from Toybiz back when I was first collecting.

Next update, right now the official word for Rogue is "next Month." However, AoA Wolverine and Cyclops were both set for the 27th of September and now their official release date is "next month" too. If things hold that would probably make Wolvie/Cyke the 11th of October and Rogue on the 25th. But that's a heavily salted guess.
-
Evidently that Spider-Man is 6.1 inches too so it's not oversized like the IM figures have been in the past.
-
The only thing Mafex related I'm aware of is the AoA Wolverine and Cyke are due out September 27th. Anything after that nobody at the Mafex store seems to know yet.
-
DHL is going to cost 3300 yen plus 15% of the price of the item. You should be able to easily do the math from there.
-
Aren't those the same connectors used to attach the guns to the wings of the Legioss?
-
Do we know what time Storm is going up? That's going to be such a bitch.

Springsteen Deliver Me From Nowhere, and Regretting You are going to steal away that Mortal Kombat audience... -
I don't share the what you pay for/what you get issue but I'm also done with Macross collecting for the most part. Barring Arcadia putting out the 5000 or Bandai finally getting on that SDFM Macross they teased.

I'm still waiting to buy 3 5000's.

If you're buying anything import from an American Shop you're going to be waiting between 1-3 months later than the overseas people. Their shipments are going to come in bulk by sea to keep costs as low as possible and that takes a lot longer to ship. It happens with all of them. USAGundam seems to have some special hookup because they'll get things from Japan faster but BBTS, Entertainment Earth, The Chosen Prime, etc... all have a fairly long lag time. My Tread's are from Amazon US and it's not scheduled to arrive until October.

No.

Wasn't even that long.
