Pilots usually have callsigns.

Hmm, well that's different from mine. amiami denied request for a ¥32,310 JPY refund. 4/4/2014 00:37 PDT From Seller - amiami 4/4/2014 00:37 PDT Hello. We're sorry to hear you were not satisfied with our offer for a partial refund. If you would like a refund for the merchandise price (28170 JPY), please return the item to our store. The refund will be processed upon receipt of the returned item. From Seller - amiami 4/4/2014 00:38 PDT We are unfortunately unable to reimburse any return shipping costs. Furthermore, we are unable to process any orders on your account while this dispute is open. We apologize for the inconvenience. I would argue, given the location of the chunk of wing, that it wasn't broken in transit. It's interesting how different each of our responses are. I'm still trying to figure out if Paypal would back me if I pressed for the full ¥32,310 amount. That's a great pic, man. So I got curious about everyone disliking the Fast Packs. I decided to try them out on the broken one just to see. The leg fast packs attache horribly and are designed poorly, I will agree. However, it took me all of two minutes to pop the legs down, attach the leg packs, attach the shoulder pieces and fold it all back up. Other than semi-loose feeling leg packs it holds together great.

Thereabouts, yes.

Antibiotictab, my hero! They really need someone who can pose Gerwalk better. I nominate myself. Why do those Fast Packs on Alto look so light blue? Is that how they usually are?

I never blamed Bandai. Though if we do want to blame the toy maker, in every picture we've seen the stabilizer is pointing away from the back when in Battroid. In the game and the Lego video with Kawamori the stabilizer rotates so it's facing towards the back... which looks mildly better.

I think we're all in agreement there.

Shouldn't be surprised. Not only are you amazingly rapid with updates and modifications but stylistically it looks very elegant.

Oh, air registered is pretty slow from what I recall.

I do have to give credit to Arcadia, the intakes look really great on this thing. Who did you buy it from and what method is it supposed to be shipping by?

I think a lot of people keep miss-understanding what we're talking about. He's referring to the initial shipping to me. Not the return shipping of the damaged item. There's the price of the original item, the price to ship it to me and the price to ship it back. We're saying I should be compensated for the first two things, not the third one. As an addendum, while my bitching has taken over a chunk of the topic feel free to post as many pics of your intact 19's as possible. If you have four of them, let's see the squadrons, please.

To me it reads like they're covering their asses. They want to make sure the item is actually damaged as claimed. And that nothing was stolen or withheld when an item is returned. My only concern would be that second to last line about being responsible for all risks and damage upon return because that could be an easy out for them. Otherwise... at least they are stating their methods, however draconian.

Oh hell, I want this now!!!! Been waiting for a 30 for awhile. I think I'll order two. I like all three modes but I don't want a bunch of white and red planes.

It concerns me that NY has some similar comments as Amiami. For the crazy pre-order deals I can never, ever catch anything at HLJ. NY is pretty much my only option. That's not good.

Leonardo, in particular, looks pretty cool there.

It's irritating when they start off the premise we only use 10% of our brains... which has already been debunked. But then uninformed pop-science coming from Hollywood is nothing new.

That's the thing, I'm also hedging a potential fix... though since I was just informed my back-up 19 is being shipped from HLJ I may just have to return this one.

Since this is my very first issue and have never used paypal I'm just wondering, based on other people's experiences, how much of a killing blow can I take with these guys?

I don't want them to pay for the return shipping costs, I only want them to pay me back what I paid for the item to be shipped to me.

Holy hell, that's awesome!

I love it, I want multiples. I am a bit worried about how the wings will hold up over time though. I hope they lock. Though I wouldn't have them semi-bent like in these photos. I don't feel like they're long enough to work in that bird-of-prey position like the SV-51. I do wish the tail fins could slide up though, I think that's an oversight that affects the way it looks in Battroid.

Sorry guys, I've been out. Amiami offered to pay back only the price of the item via Paypal dispute. Should I go for the full amount? I don't mind paying to ship back but I think they owe me it all.

Via a Credit Union, not a Bank. They're not quite the same level of a-hole a regular bank would be. They called me when the money was first transferred to verify it was legit. Also, my original dispute was for the entire thing, shipping and all. That was rejected and they said they would pay for everything but the shipping. Do I have to open a new claim for that to be valid?

The problem is if I have to pay to ship back first (and they aren't refunding the shipping cost either way) I don't want to pay much so I'm going to ship it as slow as possible. That'll take forever to get a refund. Consequently, what does a refund look like via paypal?

Does anybody think it's a good idea to request the refund first? I don't trust these guys.

I told Amiami to shove it, they're liars and if I don't get my refund I'm taking to to Paypal. They offered a refund but I have to ship the item back to them at my cost. I don't trust them to refund me without an entity like paypal looming over them... oh, and look at that. They contacted me through my dispute and magically they can't process any of my orders anymore. Boo hoo.
