Thanks guys. Last item from them was Hikaru DX

I actually don't know and I can't remember. I am using credit card so that means I'll get auto billed?

Did HLJ requested payment? I checked now and I cant access the email I registered with it.

That is good, and mandarake usually sells it lower than what YAJ ends up.

Nice, cant believe I slept on the release of the Made in Abyss Movie. WIll check it out!

Akudama Drive seems interesting, episode 1 seem too busy trying to jump start introduction all the cast.

Jujutsu Kaisen - seems a good Shonen show

Kings Raid - ever since I watched rage of bahamut, I am keen to watch game adaptation as long as it is a separate timeline. Seems generic show. Will drop after 1 episode

Mahouka - episode 1 has good animation and I just reminded how I really like it's world.

I'm standing on 1 million lives - mixed vibes but will continue watching after two episodes.

Danmachi - biased as I'm reading the LN, previous season is rushed really really bad. Hope it's better now as this covers, imo, one of the best arc.

The last two arc of Bleach was painful to read. Thousand Year Blood War more so, the opponent are so Overpowered, and for some reason will have an ability that is really well suited against their match up, but wait, someone or something will come up later on that perfectly counter that ability later on.

Btw, Current Anime right now seem caught up on Covid. There are "potentially" good anime. Some are even sequel.

I cant wait for the next season. The only anime I really like is RE:Zero season 2. Demon something something seem decent but rushed and has one of the most terrible finale episode.

I am currently saving the episode of Deca-dence which has a good review initially so I hope it really is good when I start on it.

No Guns Life, I enjoyed Season 1 but middle of season 2, I just cant find any reason to continue.

Release date is October 17, says Nippon Yasan. Haha

The glass is twice as big as it needs to be!

 

_{I'll show myself out} 

came here for some updates, but man, this is gold

edit: not an engineer, it is my first time hearing this as well

Re:zero never disappoints.

It's bad on bandai model kit, the smaller parts of mine gets crumbled while the bigger parts are okay. Though those are not ABS plastic.

If you are coating the toy, it should be safe enough

So you need to pay 22000 yen for something of a teaser to HWS / FA

Or stock up on decals, then when your toy looks like it's been soaking in pee, time to repaint it and apply those decals! 

yeah, a quality white paint will takes ages to yellow.

saw this over at TD yesterday as something that maybe some members here might try to do (lolicon? wm_cheng?) if they own a copy...

Im slow in the new DX Bandai VF offering, is there any site to get these at a reasonable price? THanks

The website for slow or new comer don't exist unfortunately. Get it during the minute of window when you can preorder it or wait for it on site like Mandarake or jungle.

It just sucks that Bandai produce less of it.

^thanks, I didnt see that when I was skimming through it. I always thought it is too good to be true of a change. Basically for one time toy order with bigger price tag, it is actually cheaper by 400 yen.

haha, I just wished how both companies release their toys unpainted or in kit form. Arcadia recently did it but that is for the armor parts for Zero

Yes, thats something i probably need to consider. I havent had any YJ auctions, via FJ, turn bad yet, my thoughts were that PP would provide some protection.
Given a 3rd party like FJ in the buying loop though...i suppose being aware of specifics would help buyers..

As for the cat dancing....

lets go..

I had two YAJ auction gone bad. It is from a reliable seller (I viewed the rating and number of transactions in YAJ) with multiple PO fulfillment before, then suddenly, the seller stopped fulfilling orders. This was before the protection plan was put in-place in FJ.

I enforced PP protection and my account got banned. So the advice on using basic plan for trusted source and protection plan on other else, is a really good advice. Though from what I remember, FJ changed their policy recently and lowered the plan to 300 yen (from 700 irc)

I see Ragnar, I watch

You're a brave soul to put that much weight on a yeti stand.   I might just be camera angle but I think that long yeti arm might be bending as the nosecone of that VF is pointing up at a higher angle than the kaki.

Yeti stand uses thick acrylic. The arm is actually curved.

Stay away from SAHRA, at this point they are like a different store. They have their own Shipping rates and they will never ever under declare value of the item

EMS to Mexico is about 4,200 - 4,500 so Mandarake is a good deal and you can ask to declare a lower value for the item to avoid customs. While buying at AJ you always pay customs in Mexico which makes things like this one more expensive. 

For my case, tax duties is easily 100 USD if I bought the cheaper VF-1S in Amazon JP. For some weird reason, I cannot check out the Kaki unit in Amazon JP

The problem with Mandy for single items is that DHL is the only shipping option now. That 22K turns into 29K real fast. Amazon has that beat by 3K.

Got to keep it balanced.

Not every country can buy from Amazon jp directly
