  1. release date was 12-25-21, It is currently the week just after Christmas.  Some business will be either still be closed for the holiday or short staffed. 

    DHL will be short staffed , so if they use any logistic packaging service from them, it might still be close until January.  Luna park stores staff is probably also off for the Holidays too. 

    In short, don't expect anything shipping out until January.  Anything that shipped out near Christmas is more of an exception than the norm. B))

    Funny how the EMS selection says 'Customer Favorite', when in fact in today's situation, it's the expensive option. And it's longer compared to DHL and FedEx. :rolleyes:

     

    lol. yeah. . but I think its still a favorite for people that can use it to bypass custom fees.

    What's the going rate for shipping the 31AX to the US? AE charged me 5,990Yen, 10Yen cheaper than Luna Park shipping 😀.

    not the going rate but some good rates.  , price can be higher or lower depends on their shipping account and or shipping boxes used.

    they reroute you to that page if your ip is not showing japan most of the time.   ,, you can clear your cookies and or try it gain with a different browser and then click on that circle thing again..  if it still does not work , then you will need to use a VPN and change location from USA.  ..  you can also try scrolling down and clicking "view premium bandai in japan"

    So... with super pack vf-31 ax coming soon at 27 dec with the info floating around it will be TWE pre-order.
    i have question about this P-Bandai TWE releases, maybe this has been answered before but at which site i can order them? is there any list about the store that offer TWE Pre-order?

     

    P-Bandai items are sold on the P-Bandai website.   If you want to order something from the P-Bandai in japan then you will need to request a Proxy to preorder it for you because it for Japan only.   Payments are upfront.   They will charge a flat fee or some will charge by percentage.   you can do a search on google " japan proxy"  and a bunch will come up.. just find one that looks good and works for you..   

    some store will post the preorder on their site too. but they also get their order from the p-bandai website just like everyone else..   they are just selling the preorders that they plan to order or have already ordered.   Some of them are Anime-export, Biginjap, mykombini, okiniland, cdjpapan ,luna park, nin-nin-games, etc.

     

    Payments are upfront for P-Bandai preorders at almost all proxy and stores.

    Took me a second to realize that we're talking about amazon.com, not amazon.co.jp. A DX valk available for PO at MSRP on Amazon, sold and shipped by Amazon. Never thought I'd see this day.

    Yeah.  looking like a good start

    And it's sold out. That's a good sign for demands. ;) :good: 

    yup,  and normally Metal Build and Soul of Chogokin items on Amazon takes forever to get sold out.   (of course they over sold many times too)

    Didn't we used to be able to see an estimate on shipping for HLJ? I can't seem to see it now and it would be nice to have an idea how much it would cost shipped. 

    HLJ does not do estimate but you can add in the SV-51 Ivanov that is currently instock and you will be able to see the shipping rate when you select "ship now" instead of "private warehouse"

    Is a P-Bandai release different than a TWE release?

    I want to understand why I can „easily“ order some MB Gundams that are exclusive releases and some don’t even show up at the shops that allow you to order these exclusive toys.

     

    Tamashii Web Exclusives is the product 

    P-Bandai is the webstore that sells them.  They have some official stores for some of the countries.  Each store decides on what they want to carry over from the main Japan store. 

    example.   P-Bandai japan have a item that is for Lottery only.   P-Bandai in Hong Kong can not do any lottery preorders due to their law., so if they do decides to sell a item it will just be very limited and preorders the same as other items. 

     

    The main one is P-Bandai Japan. that is the one that you should be get all of the Tamashii Web Exclusives as long as you live in Japan.  (or use a proxy) 

    They have items that are event exclusives (you have to show up to the event to pickup your preorder )

    They have Lottery items that you preorder and they will contact the group if you are the winner.

    Both of those will need special proxy to preorder for you. 

     

    Think of it this way.  

    TWE is a Apple product , Iphone, ipad, imac , etc

    P-Bandai is the Apple store.

     

    TWE is a Amazon Fire device, Firestick, FireTV , echo. etc

    P-Bandai is the Amazon site and different country might officers different sales

    Are people pissed that stayed up during pre-order madness whether they scored or not?  Now those guys must be cancelling orders left and right.  I mean they'd be paying higher shipping fees if they didn't.

    nope,  keeping my Japan preorders.   Price is cheaper for me even with international shipping.  And I have the option of getting it 2- 3 months earlier that US domestics release.

    Thanks for the info, makes more sense then. The oficial EMS page does not allow you to enter the dimensions, only the weight, so I calculated the 4.300/4850JPY. However when using the Buyee shipping calculator, wich includes dimensions, the price was still 4300.

    I just sent them a mail this monrning asking if there is any problem.

    We'll, see. 

    besides the dimensions you also need to add in the extra weight of the shipping box and packaging material  which can range from 600gram to 800 grams.

    If you are in the states,  you are better off with the stores that have it at 219 with free shipping (entertainmentearth.com,  Thechosenprime.com)

     

    I discovered this with the metal build Justice Gundam.  Works out to be about $10-15 cheaper even when using the cheapest shipping option.  Then again,  I'm in FL, so maybe less if on the west coast.

    Ordering in the States is normally my backup plan .. because of the sales tax.  most of those stores now added in California sales tax (around 9 percent).  so it added a extra $20,

    My order from HLJ at 22,000 + 2910 (surface mail)  would be at 24910 yen which is $215.   and if I go with DHL it would be $221.52 and I will get it 2-3 month sooner,,

    this of course is comparing to ordering it in the state and have to pay tax around $240 total.   Now if I can get it at a store without tax then the price will be very close,

    Question, is this pre-order for japan only? are there any chance the PO will be open for another country?

    Normally preorder for Macross stuff is for Japan only, there is a set DATE and time for when a preorder starts.

    but since this is the first WWM VALK which is also suppose to be for worldwide.. then it will most likely see preorder opening in other country's that have Bandai distribution but we do not know when yet.

    Examples are the SOUL of CHOGOKIN  and METAL BUILD /METAL COMPOSITE line .  For USA , they normally pop up for preorder couple of days or a week after the Japanese preorder.   But the thing over in USA is that there is not set date or time on when those preorders open up at stores since its up to the stores themselves on when to post them.
