    Bandai DX VF-31

    Yea have been adding and removing items from the PW to see how much shipping comes out to. Like seeing how much can be added before the shipping price jumps up significantly, then you know where you can stop. Wish NY and the rest had that, I know i have been losing out when i pre-order from NY. But thats just me not wanting to wait till release month to place a pre-order on premium items. YOLO.... combine it and see if it passes through then you will know! Either way, you would know what to do the next time! Try adjusting the amt and costs of your items in a batch. And if the tax is lower on one shipment rather than separate shipment costs, then its still worth it. The only thing you would have to deal with is the hassle, depending on how you view it.
  3. Hmm didnt expect Vice to be involved in this...and keanu is that you?
  4. Yup tot as much! i wasnt sure if it was hk or taiwanese so i just put minibus!

    Just to add to the PW topic, yes its quite a convinient tool for savings on shipping. However you might unconsiously raise your shipment profile to the custom authorities, should you pack too much in. i shipped small items with a dx before with no incident. Recently i packed my arcadia RA + 262 Dx + a couple of mecha colle and trident stand, my shipment got held for charges. The custom folks were nice enough to tell me that if i had shipped them seperately in smaller value, it would have gone through. So just bear in mind your total invoice items, prices and size, and if you want to be sure check your local custom allowances.
  11. A 0a would be different enough, whereas a 0s scheme would end up almost similar looking to the abv roy custom. Still would be very nice to see customs of those too! Thanks! I wanted to ask to change that, but wasnt sure if it was worth bothering! I put the A because calwings first batch releases are A versions, but forgot that they customized further for the macross schemes..
  12. I don't think there would be any embargo, after all abe is good friends with trump. *ahem*, this debuted at the star wars celebration in orlando with disney's full approval and appreciation, so in that sense, there shouldn't be any problems stateside. Being chogokin tho, weight could definately be an issue. Be prepared for added shipping costs as even the R2 chogokin weighs abv 1 kg. http://tamashii.jp/special/sw/12pm_r2d2/ Its gonna be pricey, and expect lights and sounds to spice up the package. Whether that is important is another matter, i prefer realism and model styling over lights and sounds, but hey just roll with it.
  13. Urrrrghhhh must.not.lurk.mandarake.jungle.orwherever. beautiful pic saburo! perspective makes all the difference!
  14. Hmm i tot those at wonderfest WERE calibre wings? It would coincide with them promoting/releasing their f-14s.
  15. start saving your imperial credits! falcon chogokin seems to be the first...
  16. Am not sure if these goes here but its a macross custom of a toy, so for everyone to go dreamy... Obviously more pics in the link... Enjoy! And no, they aren't for sale. But perhaps some creative folks here can come up with a similar work?
  17. bravo! thats a nice delta display! I wonder if its possible to display the lil drakens flying alongside too when they come out?
  18. Yup it's the sellers perogative to set their prices but they do assume some risk should they seem to not value add to their product line to make it stand out. At least with the zeros arcadia tweaked the mold, color and to a certain extent robustness(haha no ref to 0a pls), so that it was more attractive to consumers. I for one am spoilt for choice by so many other alternative lines and brands, that I need that extra something to push me to get a certain model. Obviously if you are a pure macross collector it might not apply and anything goes....
  19. Woooahhh sick sick pics of customised valks! Congrats wmkjr, Lancelot and spanner for your efforts in showing them valks off... Itching for self assembly 1/60 valks now...although reality will soon set in and make me wish for time and skills to do customs!

    I thk u shld collect the 31 that you can actually catch on a pre-order. Haha..
  21. And i know its silly but the inclusion of a hinge less shield, gave that extra lil push to get it. At least bandai tries to value-add.. *Cough* arcadia *cough* yea reissues on packs are unlikely, only if a whole line also gets renewed (frontier)
  22. Would i expect a re-production using an old mold to increases in price? Yes probably due to inflation on costs of production. Keeping economies of scale simple. Would i expect a re-production to increase in price just to match current prices of the old mold in market? As a buyer you will ask hey now...But thats the perogative of the seller. I do wish arcadia just released premium tampo valks at regular release prices, and cut out the regular non tampo valks. At least justify a hike in prices thats less obvious than taking a piece of the scalper prices.
