  1. Bingo. Looks like it was stop by Customs in HK and started moving again.
  2. Anybody else's 1D from AE been put on hold by DHL? Read there's a variety of reasons fot a hold and I'll contact DHL if it doesn't move time. Interested if I'm jthe only one.
  3. I thought the same thing. When I did the pre-order AE had me select shipping. DHL was the only usable option at the time so I went with that. Looking at the 4480 price and Japan Post tracking number I assumed it had to be EMS. Just fed the tracking info to DHL and looks like they've got it. ETA by the 26th. Everything I got shipped by DHL from Japan so far arrived in 2 days. Should get it by Friday by my estimate.
  4. Waiting for AE to send me shipping cost.

    Macross figures

    I came today 3 days ahead of schedule. It was just before I went to work so I only had a few minutes to fondle myself. (Why does that sound so filthy?) Had run the arms under hot water to get the biceps to move. KC has been good with customer service but I felt that these figures were too fragile to handle and was going to stop collecting after this one. Only handled it for 5 minutes but the build quality and appearance seems to have improved. Build quality might have to do to increased size. Can't wait to play with myself.

    Estimated delivery for mini-me is Saturday.
  7. It is good that they are creating several times to order them instead one specific time. Allows people a chance to get them. Down side is you can't combine items to save on shipping.

    How's Ro...er...my articulation do I have more range of movement compared to Hikaru
  9. So this The Mummy with a Disney Pirates of the Caribbean filter.
  10. Impressive appearance for the size and laughable for the price.
  11. Where's the Viper? Beachhead was listed but marked Sold Out. Viper doesn't even show up at all. At least I got finally got a Cobra Trooper/
  12. I wonder if the joints are stronger now because he's bigger.

    Hi-Metal R

    That Monster toy felt pretty sturdy. Guess I'll be extra gentle with the arms from now on.
  14. Pre-ordered the 2 Hawks. I was a fan but not a big enough fan to buy them all. Will look nice in misc shelf.
  15. I miss those days too. There's no more dedicated big toy stores. Major Toy companies only have big box stores and they have to play by their rules. Action figures are low priority for big box stores. If you want to buy one of these figures consider yourself lucky if you're only paying $50 for them off eBay. If a toy line is accepted by a big box stores it means only the scalpers will be able to buy them at normal prices. Most of these stores only get one single case and that's it. Only when these same figures are also offered at online collector stores do we have a chance of getting them at normal prices. No big box store is going to carry Thunder Cats, Silver hawks or even Robotech figures. That means they aren't worth the effort for the major Toy companies. Smaller Toy companies are willingly to make them but at a higher costs and longer waits.
  16. A year wait. How's Super 7 QC? I'm In. I so wanted to collect them back in the day but they were hard to find and cost more than other figures. Only had a couple.
  17. Delayed? A couple weeks ago they ask for me to confirm my shipping address.
