Lol, i'll take any of the colors listed abode except the green and yellow one....

I don't like those colors, but I have been waiting for this for along time, ever since studio half eye did theirs. I want the studio half eye colors, they are so much better. these colors make it look like a toy instead of a military plane. Maybe if Arcadia tones down the green and yellow it will look better, but at least I know the engineering will be arcadia standard, which is phenomenal 

gettign at least 2

They couldn't have chose a nastier pink for the pilot figure. Man, if they do anything close to that pink for the bike figure, I'm gonna have to think hard weather I wanted or not. Its red dammit.

You can use DEjapan, I used them to get my TV supers, I paid 8800yen for them when I 1st ordered, they charged me 600yen fees and 1800yen EMS shipping to Singapore, not sure if they can do other types of shipping, but you can always email them. They are very responsive and I was surprised how little on top of the actual price they charged me.

 

Thanks for the info!

can you order from tamashii nations form the US?

Oh and regarding technology, goddamn it's an exciting time to be into toys , i have never seen so much amazing stuff being made!!! The storm collectibles street fighter figures and king of fighter figures are the highlight of the year for me. 

I think the demographic of people with enough expendable income to spend on these types of expensive collectables isn't the most adversely affected by the pandemic., So I  think demand won't be affected unless the the economic effects reach such bad levels that at that point i don't think many people will really think about buying toys anymore.  Since it's a world pandemic then the economic effects would reach everywhere so demand would just plummet. It's quite a possibility.  Would have to see how the world rebounds from the latest harshest wave of infections and it's effects. If business rebounds quickly i think things will be as they are now.

On the production side, china seems to have largely controlled the epidemic enough to maintain production.  I think the delays we see now are miraculously small, i honestly expected things to be more severely delayed, but apparently china is furiously exporting products now to full fill the addiction of bored americans and other plastic addicts around the world.  

As for my personal experience , i have bought more crap than regular as delays caused me to become curious about other toy lines and now I'm addicted to hasbro figures, hot toys and macross. In all three fronts i have seen demand go up, not down at all. I simply don't spend money on anything else, so i have more money for toys, ( and i buy opened and used items for the cheapest price ) but I have  definitely taken a severe beating on my income this year, but nothing compared to people who are really suffering through this situation. 

Fwaaaaaaak yf-19 and yf-21 are never going to happen. It's still left up to studio half eye to have produced the only good ones at the 1/100 ish scale.

Are you referring to a 3rd party seller and it says "For-Filled by Amazon.jp or shipped by Amazon.jp" then yes.

Amazon.jp is the same as like any Amazon.

You have to make a new account under Amazon.jp and there is a English language feature, Click on the Japan Flag, select English and yes to change.

Any shipping needed, select International Global shipping, however some stuff will not be sent to your location.  

Thanks, i put the order in, so i guess we will see if everything goes through well. I'm in the Us,  so i think shipping will be ok. I didn't see to get charged tax during the transaction, so that is a plus too.  Thanks for answering!

does buying form amazon work just like buying form amazon here? 

Go through your credit card if its an option. No matter what you do, you'll be dissatisfied with their response. Just dispute the charge if possible. 

Thanks!

Mostly finished with this.  Thinking of selling it, so Haven't glued all the parts and base yet , but I am pretty happy with it. It was a great kit, but a pain in the ulo.

yep, doooooooooooope. i like all my valks with grey military schemes

Yeah, the only way to get your money back is to get the credit card to do something about it. Keep in mind that nippon wont even allow you to get something cheaper with your credit. They want you to spend it all at once and wont allow it. This is why i never shop with this a holes. 

that explains why i wasted my time today. 

Thanks!

Did you guys figure out how to make the shoulder rotation move? Mine are still completely stuck.

favorite overseas seller
