    Yo pague EMS en HLJ y la wea todavia no ingresa al pais. Por lo general llegan a mi casa entre 5 y 10 dias. Una vez use DHL desde HK y se demoro 4 dias en llegar a mi casa (Antofagasta). Correos y aduanas en estas fechas son como el or.....

    Lo que me tiene asustado es que la última actualización de la cagaa fue en Alemania, ni siquiera acá. Más encima DHL ya me ha perdido cosas antes en Alemania! :@

    My unit has been without any update from the DHL since December 23 :/

    BTW: I order it from Loopaza paying USD 58 for DHL (to Chile). The thing is they use DHLG whish is handled from HK to CL by DHL and from there by the local post office. Sucks!

    So far with the delay from DHL there is no difference with any SAL service from JP.

    ouchies! that sucks.. sorry to see that. Have you still got the broken off part? would a tiny drop of super glue work by any chance? 

    Of course mechaninac's repair suggestion is still an option. As he also mentioned you could just swap out the head unit for the CF type.

    Have you contacted the place of purchase? Curious, where did you buy it from? Hope you can get it sorted out.

    thanks derex! :)

    It is from NY, there is a ticket still open. They are talking with Bandai if there is something they can do for me (long shot but still hoping the best).

    It looks like pure bad luck. The packaging is in pristine condition so I think it came this way from factory or warehouse :(

    ^ That's a bummer.  However, if you have the broken antenna piece, all is not lost.  Drill both ends with a pin-vise (1/8", ~3mm, deep should suffice), making use they align as closely as possible, to receive a metal rod (I like using a seamstress' pin cut to length for such things... the drill bit should be >= the diameter of the pin to be used).  Press fit the pin into the antenna's hole and then the resulting piece into the antenna's base on the head, properly oriented, until it's almost bottomed out (leave a 1/32", ~1mm, gap).  Apply a small drop of ABS plastic weld into the gap: Tenax 7R, Plastruct, Tamiya cement for ABS, Ambroid Pro Weld, Even Testor's Plastic Cement (DO NOT use Superglue).  Finish pressing the two pieces together until a small amount of molten plastic oozes out; let cure 24 hours; clean the seam with a X-acto knife and a sanding stick.  You'll likely need to buff the join to have it match the surface finish of the rest of the plastic, and touch up any painted areas.

    Another option is to swap the head for the CF version.  Or, if possible, swap the antennas.

    Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I think I'll give it a try

    Legit? :huh:

    Well... The subject was talked during 31J preorder madness. One guy (I can't recall his name) went to the physical address in HK and it's a legit store but other than that we don't know much more

    BTW Loopaza has DHL shipment options. For me it was USD 58 (Chile) which is as expensive as some shipment options from NY or HLJ.

    Also on the 31J preorder madness they also opened their store one or two days before the rest.
