  1. The TV super packs didn't even sell out that fast. Also, considering this variant can only be used on the 1S (and Hikaru's 1J although that's not canon), I don't see the point of this reissue. If anything, they should probably reissue the DYRL set instead.
  2. It won't be a bundle. The GBP armor will come with a grey decal to put around the visor of your existing VF-1J

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Speaker pods may be bundled with the 31J. Lol! Anyway, not 31 related but Delta related, the new VF teased again:
  4. 1D and 1J GBP bundle will go on sale. Max 1J and 1S GBP aren't for sale.
  5. If you want to watch the presentation:
  6. If it is the 1/6 version, it was a little over $300 that time. So maybe now closer to $400? The question is what about the 1/6 Kaneda? That one was from Medicom.
  7. The 1/6 PBM is different from the Bandai one on Manda. The one on Manda is a much smaller scale without lights.

    It seems they aren't. Kind of disappointing for the Delta series.
  9. Could be but from the screenshot, the armor seems darker on Roy unless that's just the lighting.
  10. Maybe this time they'll just slap the shipping label directly on the DX box.
  11. The shipping makes the difference but the question is how will they pack it.
  12. Because Amiami packs the damn thing in a very oversized box. HLJ's quote is below 4k yen. Go figure.
  13. Lol! What's the point then? 3 days maximum with faster processing through customs versus 5 to 7 days or more due to the chance of something sitting in customs for who knows how long without it being processed.
  14. Executives at Bandai: Lol! Ok, moving on...
  15. @anubis20's Dancouga was a pre-order and had the tax added for the final charge. I doubt this will apply to other JP stores as long as they don't have a nexus here in the US. Amazon JP is still under Amazon US so that's why we have this situation.
  16. 9% discounted price with 10% Japanese sales tax included. I think you should refer to @F360's post for a better explanation. Seems California online sales tax factors in which city you reside as well. We gotta know the actual price without the 10% JP tax that Amazon JP offered at that time to really compute this properly. It's not as simple as deducting 10% from the listed price similar to how computing for Paypal fees work. Either way, US online sales tax is being implemented and is here to stay.
  17. It is. Look at your own photos closely. It has been added to the final item price. The product page has it at 45,055 yen. That's a discounted price but includes the 10% Japanese consumption tax. Without that it should be only around over 40.5K yen. On your check out page it is 44,133 yen. Your California tax is included there but not disclosed. In comparison to mine: On checkout: My listed item price started higher than yours yet it ends up lower than your checkout price because my state sales tax rate is lower than California. My point stands. It may not be present on the original preorder amount but when it ships out, it will be added to the final cost. So surprise!
