    Bandai DX VF-31

    One of mine is currently processing through San Fransisco and will most likely end up here tomorrow, the other I left in my HLJ PW. The toy does look really good though, can't wait to get one in hand. Thanks for the pics Yeti!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Lately it looks like N-Y has jacked up the shipping prices. The last few items I placed a PO for seem to have pretty high shipping prices. I would say they are pretty dependable though and they don't declare the full price of the item for people outside of the united states that have to pay high taxes. The only real issue I can think of is when Bandai decided to ship the HMR VF-1S Roy with a bonus stand in a gigantic box. N-Y had to raise the shipping prices and I guess it irritated a lot of people. Personally I get that they had to charge the shipping instead of eating it outright as they are a small web shop. I think the reason they are asking for payment up front now is because they had a lot of cancellations on one of the pre-orders, I can't remember which one it was. That's really one of the only downfalls lately with pre-ordering so many items, cause I find that after I pay for a bunch of pre-orders that I had and then Bandai decides to release a new exclusive. And with all t hat said, I'm getting 2x of these SP sets myself.

    Bandai Sv-262 DX valk

    Single engine, newer transformation, integrated guns in the forearm that actually look implemented better than the VF-31's and just different is what roped me in on this one. I also really like the Gerwalk mode on this one too, I like the large gun overhanging the cockpit it seems to have a more solid mount than any of the NUNS models. I think fighter mode is probably the least appealing mode for me but mainly from the side, but I'm ok with that as the proportions look pretty balanced in the other modes and the sacrifice had to be made. I'm trying to keep my rule of 1x of each valk with Macross Delta but I dunno if I can resist..
  4. I also got those bonus points, that turned out to be a decent deal. The fact that the points I already had covered the EMS shipping makes it even better.
  5. Oh, Scyla is the type to leave the weapons sheathed unless really needed.. Looks like my first copy of the Blue Frame will arrive tomorrow or the next day.
  6. Blue frame up again @ amiami was able to snag a second. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-021749
  7. LOL, I'm not that thrilled about that release but decided to at least get one for the hell of it.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Yeah, it looks pretty good so far. I can't wait to get one in hand, I may even get 2 of all of them now I told my self I wouldn't but that may change.
  9. I tend to have completionists tendencies so I bought just one set in case I should have waited I got a copy from NY but it's back in stock on the web shop... http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000110187/?utm_source=search&utm_medium=pcp
  10. Thanks for the heads up on the Blue frame. I had some points over there that basically gave me free EMS shipping. CDJ are out of stock again btw.
  11. Oh nice, I hope I can find another one from a JP shop when released. I already have one on pre-order with BBTS, but would like dupes if possible. I also need another F91 Metal Build preorder or maybe when released.
  12. I ordered one of the smoke colored ones from here: http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000110238/ it's still open as of this post. It looks like Bandai web shop is also offering a proxy service, there is a pop up when you visit the site. I Sent it to a friends house in Tokyo. *Edit* It looks like the proxy service is only for specific items ;(
  13. I have not touched my seven sword in a long time but I don't remember being disappointed by any looseness on the ankles. My Raiser seemed fine as far as I remember. I would not bout if it's luck of the draw though depending on who assembled your unit.
  14. Yeah thanks, I have avoided that sale page like the plague. I have all I need on order atm. Only reason I went to HLJ is because someone mentioned an Olson on sale and I couldn't resist.
  15. Nice, glad you were able to get them to cancel it without repercussions. I was also able to cancel from them once, but never tried it again. I got my notification of my payment for Kei Now I can ship a pretty nice box of goodies home that include: Both Kei and Olson, Metal Robot Damashii Ex-S, my other HMR VF-1J Max and a Robot Damashii Side Labor Ingram 1 with command car. And the kicker is that Fed-Ex from JP for all those items was ¥4,620. I'm not really sure how big this box will be, but I felt that was a decent price for all of those items shipped express. Any one know how this HLJ store credit works? I didn't get any added to my account after I purchased the Olson Unit. I'll wait until after it ships to be concerned.
  16. Man, I thought I would only get Kei's unit but that HLJ sale made me place an order for the Olson unit. I'm still waiting for Kei's unit before I ship a bunch of stuff from my PW.
  17. I basically make sure I get an order in as soon as it opens. I have missed some items in the past but they sometimes reopen them for later release dates.

    Bandai Sv-262 DX valk

    The color on the ghosts/drones looks way off to me. Maybe it's not the final color on them.

    Bandai Sv-262 DX valk

    Were you able to at least get one of the two different models Graham?
  20. Believe me I agree, I ended up buying every GFFMC Unicorn that was available except for the prism coat editions. I'm done with the Unicorn toys (unless it's a metal build)

    Hi-Metal R

    The max that I bought from amiami shipped but I also got SAL registered because of the high cost of other shipping methods. The other max I bought from HLJ will be sitting in my PW until The Orguss reissue comes out. I'll ship those both out along with the Robot Damashii side Labor Ingram. It will be nice having a smaller set of max/millia to go with my v2 Yamato's as I never touch the Yammies they just sit in fighter mode lol.
