  1. no worries, once you get yours , you will be on the hate list too.
  2. yeah, ver Ka wing gundam for the metal composite line,,, .. I guess it does fit the line but I was hoping for some other gundam too. but I'm will still buy it first and plan later. by the way looks like METAL BUILD Dynames repair 3 is out.
  3. The good Macross products are for Japan so you just need to spend your time on learning and figuring out how to get it from Japan to USA. Yes , you will need to plan and wake up in the middle of the night and "try" to place the preorder , just like everyone else here. If you think your time is worth more, then you can pay the extra to preorder it from a store or someone that is willing to do it for a extra fee. .. Either spend the time or the money .
  4. Bandai do not normally do reprints for their DX Chogokin line . So if you are betting on chance then the chance is slim . when you say you are not willing to spend $600 for kairos and $400 for Chronos , does that mean you are ok with spending $500 for Kairos and $300 for Chronos ? If so then you should be able to find them for those prices . Since theses are toys if you are not willing to spend the money , then it’s bet to save it or spend it on something else that you think will be more worthwhile. Buy what you want for the price you are willing to pay , no need to give up Macross entirely just because of 1 or 2 toys.
  5. most shops list their preorders with the tax included now. so it will be around the 25300 listed price. Amazon japan will removed the japan sales tax,, but then will add in your state /city sales tax.
  6. The Metal Build Gundam line would be a good example comparing what similar price it would be compare to buying from BBTS vs buying directly from Japan First it will depends on if they can get it from local distribution.. (over the counter / general releases) .. if so it will have a similar msrp. If it's a TWE/P-Bandai or a event item then BBTS will need to use their proxy or something to get it so it will have a high extra charge,, at that point you might as well just get it from Japan or if P-bandai USA. BBTS does offer excellent customer service, so you are picky on your toys or normally happens to have toys that falls apart on you, or need that extra sharp corner on the box then BBTS will be a good option.
  7. On the P-bandai Jp site. it shows the release/shipping date of 07-19-21
  8. The thing with P-bandai USA is that its shipped from USA.. Item have to get to USA by BOAT from Asia before they get to ship it out. So not getting the item as fast as Japan is expected. There was some huge delays recently due to everyone was force to use BOAT shipping. I mainly use p-Bandai USA because its so much easier to preorder stuff.
  9. for the Grand Slam Sword,, you can also use the bigger 1/72 one from Moshow but its kinda heavy.. or a even bigger one 1/60 from the prefect grade...
  10. I can understand why EMS is more important in Canada than USA.. since with EMS you can kinda sneak pass customs
  11. well. USA didn't resume EMS until just recently.. but Canada still had EMS option most of the Pandemics season. .
  12. SAL by boat takes about 2-3 months .. .. but probably around 4 months now
  13. yeah. BBTS pricing on TWE items are . Also the price of the RX-78F00 that is already out dropped their demand price to around 24000 -26000 yen. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Chogokin-Gundam-Factory-YOKOHAMA-RX-78F00/dp/B08R7H9PBF/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=OwxYt&pf_rd_p=bf6f6a7a-aff5-46e2-8626-834fa2aae875&pf_rd_r=ZB5MHN8WKN0TQR35NJ3P&pd_rd_r=3c6ab38c-6127-4a28-be2c-0e3974ef5f51&pd_rd_wg=8fRkM&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d
  14. If you live in a country that charges customs duties and taxes for your toys then you should plan out what your final price is going to be. Buy from stores that can lower your declare value Buy from store that will ship to a proxy that can lower your declare value Do not use Fedex or DHL if you want to sneak something under the radar
  15. I've just added the VE-1 to cart to take a look at the new HLJ rate. to the USA by EMS Surface ParcelTrackableaverages 1-3 months. Please see here for details before selecting¥2,910 JPY Express Mail Service (EMS)Trackableaverages 2-9 business days *may take longer due to COVID19¥4,570 JPY DHL ExpressTrackableaverages 1-3 business days *may take longer due to COVID19¥4,990 JPY FedEx PriorityTrackableaverages 2-5 business days *may take longer due to COVID19¥5,590 JPY
  16. New Gundam Seed Manga ….. and they are still working on the suppose Movie ….
  17. That's what it sounds like too. and it seems like that clear coat on the sdf-1 is not cheap either.
  18. for me those fold projection pods reminds me of the Bird Human from Macross Zero Macross 7 , speaker pod = Listen to my song Macross Delta , Fold Projection Unit = watch my Music video?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    So it been a couple of days now that we know a new VF-31 item is going up for preorder on 06-03-21 1600 JST over the counter/standard release.. "Movie version VF-31J Siegfried (Hayate Immelman machine) [Fold projection unit equipment" https://tamashii.jp/item/13624/ With the new posting method, when should we stop talking about preorder here and start talking about the preoder on the PO thread that is mixed with the GBP armor set /GBP Hikaru combo and soon to be mixed with any reopening of the VF-1D? I will most likely go for 1 on preorder night just to have a official "fold projection unit"
  20. I hope more items get put on p-bandai US,, it so much easier to get them
