HG Blows

ami still has loading problems, all these sites somehow shittier after upgrading

Hlj doesnt have advanced search anymore either

Oh yeah, is there any of the black trim near the cockpit  rubbing off when transforming to battroid?  I think i masked that part off on my advance after seeing others do it in the advance thread.

Broken head lasers are not a QC issue. It’s a shipping & handling issue and maybe a box design issue. I’m almost positive that these head lasers were fine when they left the factory and just got broken somewhere along the way.

Quality Control is a pretty broad term, if the package doesn't give enough clearance and forces a piece to snap, i think it falls under the umbrella.  Labels aside, it's a pretty crappy thing to deal with given the price tag, that we can all agree on?

We should create a poll to see how many people have broken antenna's, this QC is horrible.  Didn't bandai just release a video about their production process and how they painstakingly inspect all their pieces?

Last time i tried ordering the eva on Amiami the page wouldnt load, now hlj’s new site is hot garbage, wonder if ill be able to join the festivities at all

Can you hear the broken piece moving around in the box if you tilt it a bit I wonder?

Welp, HLJ processed mine before I could cancel.  Anyone in LA need one at cost pm me.

They're not packed great. Usually it's just a piece of cardboard put under the toy box and then shrink wrapped. 

not sure how i feel about that, i think i might cancel

How's the packaging for Amazon.jp shipments?  The boxes for domestic shipments are pretty flimsy.  

Got all the way to the order confirm for ny, and was out of stock....how do you guys find the links so quick for ny? Their search bar sucks

Amiami’s page never came back for me. It says to delete cookies on the home page, but that doesn’t work

Just preordered on Amazon.jp for 26,200 Yen shipped (to the U.S.). Sigh. A bit pricey, but so's everything these days. Been stalking Amazon.jp for the past few weeks waiting to snatch one up, after waffling on it and seeing POs get sold out. 

Amazon.jp ships to US?

It shipped by itself, I don’t like shipping smaller stuff with metal builds because Of the way they stack everything on top of it.  But it doesn’t look like the figure is broken.  I’d be satisfied with just a shipping refund, but doubt that is even gonna happen.

Ive been having some pretty crappy luck with shipping lately, I dont think Ive ever gotten a busted up package from hlj, but here we go.  Ems too, so it was out in the wild less than a week

Oh god is this coming out soon already?  this year has been brutal on my wallet.  Easily the most I've spent on figures in a year...

Welp that came and gone quick.  I guess Bandai has too much money already...

Mine shipped yesterday.  Honestly didn't think it was gonna happen.

Probably cancelling my order with hlj, since ny has it.  Jeez, what is with the price difference?  

Figure seems to be okay, still salty though.  I preordered way back in October too, so I can't even leave feedback.  It was actually $349, but I used the 15% coupon code on it.

Finally got my gff wing zero from ebay.  The dumb ass seller mailed it in the shipper box.  The box is all beat up. $300 dollar figure.  

Dont buy from this guy: arcadia*japon

Maybe hlj limited their preorder stock to avoid another yf-19 fiasco.

I feel like messer was still available for a week+ after the first batch was released though.  Glad to avoid this round of madness.

Does anyone know the release date for the third batch GFF Wing Zero? I preordered on ebay way back last november, hoping I dont get jipped.

does anime export and mykombini usually open their listings right away or later? 

Somehow got it at amiami, couldn't log in for like 10 minutes, pretty sure I was gonna get cart jacked,  got an order in with hlj too, but no email yet.   These new hours suck, hope it's not this late going forward
