  1. That's a hot modeluuu I dislike amiami for the same reason I dislike NY. Can't cancel, a pain to combine shipping.
  2. My two least favorite stores
  3. Haha, which stores?
  4. What the difference in Sal and Registered air mail?
  5. Truth be told they "allow" them because you don't have to pay for it if you don't want to. They can't force you to pay. They bully some people into keeping them with their "policy" but it is what it is. It's ridiculous as fast as these things sell, they act like the sky is falling and they couldn't sell it to somebody else in a minute.
  6. Got my shipping notice this morning.
  7. It should def have a bit more bulk than the vf1.
  8. I wish. I hope I get it before fri/sat as I'm going on vacation.
  9. No update on CDJ for shipping for mine. I didn't order until Saturday though.. I think.
  10. What is buyee's english site? Are their fees good?
  11. Yeah that's your fault
  12. Idk, Yamatos look more like model kits, but they seem a lot more durable than Bandai's offerings. Some of their early runs had weak points, but the later stuff are like tanks unless you have gorilla hands. Bandai's stuff will explode on contact, and magically become loose after one transformation.
  13. I still like the Detolfs the best. They look really modern and have nothing covering the front.
  14. I think all shops should move over to what CDjapan does. They have had stock up all weekend because they have a sane policy. They show how many they have in stock, and limit to 1 per customer. These PO's sell out super fast on NY and HLJ/AA because people order 4 or 5. Some do it to resell and some do it to build collections. Who knows. Now, if you want to pay upfront, you can PO as many as you want, or if you're a long time customer they would create a system where you can PO 3 or something, but they need to reduce the slots. A place like NY tries to get more stock elsewhere in Japan and ups the price. I don't hate NY for doing that. It's an opportunity to profit on a situation. You see all these online toy shops going out of business and they are trying to turn a profit. I always "defended" it by saying that 1. They are doing the extra work to secure the stock. It's just like If I do the work to hunt down a toy in real life and people expect you to give it to them for MSRP. No. It doesn't work that way. If it was so easy to find you can go get one. haha. 2. They are making an item available that you might not be able to find online in other circumstances. 3. The price bumps weren't huge in most cases. If you don't want to pay $20 dollars more, find it elsewhere or wait. No, what pisses me off about NY, is that they are inflexible and won't combine shipping on items that are both in stock at the same time. I had two items in their store and they refused to combine shipping. I had to pay close to $30 on both pieces and that's just too much. So I cancelled about $800 bucks worth of PO's and moved them all over to other sites. Also, I want the ability to cancel PO's as I change my mind all the time about things, and if a product isn't even coming out for 6 months or more, I should have the right to cancel it and they can open it up to other people. It's not like they are going to be left with dead stock on these valks. And no, people shouldn't be able to PO a case and then cancel it, but that's just bad policy to allow people to PO a case in the first place. NY doesn't have a wholesale service that I'm aware of, so they shouldn't act like it. I think it's a little bit of greed, where being a good business gets the best of you, and allowing too many people to take advantage of bad rules. Eventually both sides are going to get burned. Until they offer real customer service and better programs they will have these issues. They say it's a Japanese thing to honor a deal, but I say it's my American money and I'll spend it how I want or spend it elsewhere.
  15. It's so weird how one release will have tons of paint apps, and one release will have none....
  16. Very cool. Eat all the gnomes! Does that come with effects parts? Super happy with my Xplus 30 cm 2003 goji
  17. I've assembled 4 by myself. Carried them up to a second story apartment too haha. As long as you can prop the glass against a computer chair or something you'll be fine. They weigh about 70-80 pounds in the box.
  18. Yeah he enjoys the sun on his scales That's great to hear. Nothing worse than losing an old toy.
  19. That tiger II is pretty sweet Thanks! X-Plus blows my mind sometimes haha
  20. Got my Godzilla 03 today. Man.. These X-plus figures continue to blow me away every time I get a new one. http://imgur.com/a/5QosW
