Purchase price for overseas customers should not change, they don't pay Japan tax.

Up to 8% in April and to 10% next year October.

Keep that in mind for future Japan visits.

This month Haul part Duix. Still unpacking digi camera and setting up new USB Drive.

EVA-01 comes with Frame(Stand) and extra Weapons, extra head and stands 25cm tall.

EVA-05 is same size with a wingspan of 50cm, 2 heads.

Will be started soon.

There are 2 kits released for the EVA-01, mine is the rarer one. Also ordered the extra decal set.

I really enjoyed the story, helped by an expert on Victorian times.

Thx.

What episode? Been running for some time.

Rewatching 'Victorian Romance Emma' as my gf never seen it, personally prefer the manga. Different story lines.

One for the old foggies here.

Bit down I got pressured to attend a wedding next weekend in Osaka by my gf's family. Grrrr.

Hate them travel plus hotel and 30,000+yen for the couple and a boring time and formalities in return.

Ignore.

Tried contacting bandai directly?

They don't read forums more true for non-japanese ones.

Bandai no longer has a US division as they got a distribution agreement with Mattel now.

Also Macross is not their property like gundam, etc.

SAL stands for Surface air Luggage.

Bassically it goes Surface to an International Airport, where it gets shipped when it fits into the airmail container, arrives at an international airport from there it is again surface to destination.

Fast if shipper and destination are close to an international hub like tokyo-los Angeles.

EMS is Express Mail Service and has a higher priority than AirMail, hence it usually gets to the destination within 2-5 days, including customs as the details are on the EMS form.

HTH.

Totally forgot a classic, Einsamer Hirte or Lonely Sheppard.

This is the original Tarantino loves it, no one knows who wrote it.

12 girls band is 'new age' as much as 'enyia' below is them doing a song by Kitaro.

Vanessa Mae is a babe and can play, great on classic too:

Another fav soundtrack they cover is 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' by Neil Diamond, fond memories of watching that movie with family and school teachers, still got the LP.

And also fond of 'Crazy Ken Band', Gary Moore and Donovan's soundtrack of Brother Sun and Sister Moon.

For good lyrics I like Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam.

My taste is all over the show and ages/genres.

They do a lot of covers helps me relax and cope with my depression.

Funny no mention of 'Bridge over troubled waters'.

Heavy into new age music like kitaro, 12 girls band and Enigma(Sandra/Arabesque and hubby Michael Cretu).

You will need to check tracking with your local PO service.

Japan of course can't track outside it's borders.

Tracking also depends on what your local PO provides, some countries are well known to provide NO tracking and have a high ratio of lost parcels.

SAL usually provides little to no tracking hence why most people recommend EMS as it is faster than Airmail has tracking and insurance.

Granted declaring parcels below value means also less protection and if discovered ...

Sarah Brightman in the biggest church of my hometown:

Cancelling preorders really hurts the distributor as they order preorders plus x and are often stuck with extra stock.

Hence why most of them cancel accounts who do that often.

Blast from the past. Got a Taarna resin kit.

Pity Heavy Metal 2000 was .....

Something anime related, video by Gibhli.

Not sure how to post a video.

My GF today requested the song below, got her hooked on 'Absolute 80's/Radio' an UK radio station. She is 21, 25yrs younger than moi and Japanese.

I got a 13yr old son by my j-wife of 15yrs who passed away from breast-cancer 4yrs ago. A fav of hers. Might be TMI for some.

They might have switched to a Korean studio for the remainder off the season.

Not uncommon for a long running anime or at mid-season(13 episodes).

Would need to see the following episode.

Part 1 of this months haul, still missing 2 Evangelion kits.

Next month will include some macross kits.

Got mine pre-ordered.

Will start on my RG Strike and Fenice later on, pics in a few hours.

Really enjoyed him in Excalibur, but will give this movie a skip.

Will have an update later today.

Finally got my digi camera back and also getting a pull from my private warehouse delivered.

Unfortunately the EVA-01 & EVA-05 kits didn't make it back into storage on time, had some stuff that hit the 60 day deadline.

No date set as yet.
