Some do not follow the Manda thread (or Amiami, NY, ebay or any others all) @sh9000 and this is the only place that they get the HMR deals. So unless there is general conciseness of rules that deals or any other related HMR stuff is for up grabs then where should it go?

Gluag up for grabs at 10k yen (box resealed, minor box damaged) https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1137584044&ref=list&dispCount=240&keyword=%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9%20hi-metal%20r&lang=en Addition to add: Regult for 12k yen (opened, box serverely damaged) https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1129210302&ref=doc&dispCount=240&keyword=マクロス hi-metal r&lang=en

Just got dropped off five mins ago. Package from Manda via EMS has been disinfected and now sitting out on my balcony plus keeping a watch for it the next half hour. Paid on the 26th, sent out for shipping on the 27th, dispatched on the 28th. Came into the Canada Post depot at Vancouver, British Columbia on the 4th and went through Customs. Back into the sorting line and went to the proper channels to get it delivered. Will post on the proper thread once I get a chance to open it.

DX SSP up for grabs at 12k yen (unopened, package damaged). Don't know if this is the first or the newly second batch to be honest. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1137527845&ref=list&keyword=マクロス&lang=en

Providing that if you have the adapters from the set, I'm sure that you should be able to (circled here from jenuis' blog). * The second pics is the OG adapters from Yamato Valk stand or get one from Yeti (I'm sure that there is one for the VF-17 in the OG stand) * Edit: Dang it! Now you made me want to get a VF-17.

Here's one that @wmkjr posted on March 1. Which brings up this question: @Saburo - I remember that you had a pic with the DX Max's 1a with the DX SSP set. I take it that's it been removed as I can't seem to find it anymore.

Either the day of or before. You can also track it online if they sent you the link.

Just saw this as you're in the United Kingdom... As of today: https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5317/~/international-incident-bulletin For any packages/mail to Canada, this is what mentions: What's the issue? As previously advised, Canada Post have notified us that they are experiencing delays to delivery services due to high volumes of incoming mail. Delivery aims for Royal Mail services for Canada are normally 5-7 working day, however, International Standard and International Tracked & Signed are severely delayed, taking 3-4 weeks to be delivered. What alternative is there? If you have been posting using our Royal Mail 'Tracked and Signed service', we highly recommend you use our 'Tracked service' option which is providing much speedier processing and delivery times. Simply select the correct service and label. If you are not set up on our Tracked service, please talk to your usual Royal Mail contact who will help you with the next steps. Finally for our Customers using the Post Office to send your items, simply ask for a "Tracked service" at the counter. A note about Customs in Canada Whilst Customs clearing processing times are totally outside our control, it is worth remembering that Canada is one the countries with the lowest de-minimis of 20 Canadian Dollars (circa £11). This means that any goods equal or above that value will systematically go through a clearance process thus creating additional delays. Most of what our customers send is under DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) meaning that the recipient is responsible to pay any duty or taxes. Read more on our country guide page royalmail.com/canada, thank you.

If your packages ended up leaving the floor of the post office till the Monday (6th) then it became a three week wait till it got shipped. My two packages by EMS via Amiami and Manda are still at the post office as of the 29th both in posting/collecting. Most likely that they will get shipped a week/two weeks after the Golden Week Holiday.

Not my cup of tea persoanally, however it's your call. Sideshow Scott "Slim" Summers for pre-orders, two versions at $240, to be out October - December of this year Details: https://news.toyark.com/2020/04/30/marvel-comics-cyclops-sixth-scale-figure-by-sideshow-387232 Link to Sideshow: https://www.sideshow.com/collectibles/marvel-cyclops-sideshow-collectibles-100435?var=1004351

Anyone desperate for the DX SSP and can't wait for your pre-ordered one (second wave) to arrive? 12k yen (unopened, package damaged) - https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1127163959&ref=list&keyword=%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9&lang=en

Which leaves me to the next question: Did you use EMS in the original order?

I was actually thinking the same question as well @Knight26. Unless it's the official Kidslogic versions.

Hopefully that they will upon release date. Now it's 3rd parties (Fullfilled by Amazon) that are offering the DX SSP at 11.5k yen with 5% cashless rebate as I'm in Canada.

You're good to go. From Manda's Shipping suspension list in the international front page link: United Kingdom DHL: Available EMS: Available SAL: X AIR: Available DHL is very fast 2-3 days, EMS who knows yet...

@Sandman is located in Canada. He has bought a 1/48 Yammie just this this month dated April 24th.

Hmm.. I might take you up on that offer @RedComet. I have a V.2 Yammie 1/60 1J with GBP that has been yellowed and got the Shapeways replacement for it (haven't got the time to do anything presently).

Excuse me? Spending more than $1100 than a valk? Rant here: Then what about tuition fees that cost $2000+ depending on what your planing to major in, engagement ring to your fiancee, buying a condo/house, top if of the line cellphone (IE: Apple 11 Pro Max that costs over a Gino and then a newer model of the phone goes up for sale a year later with more bling bling). Oh yeah.. I'm going to get flack for not spending over 25k yen on a Macross collectable because I know my limit; however, I did it three times on the following DXs: YF-19 Full Set, YF-30 and the 1s with the Full Kit and caboodle. I say if anyone has enough $$$ to spend on the luxuries, then go ahead. Where not supposed to judge on others about spending, however to each there own taste. End Rant.

Amiami just sent a email to say that my package just shipped... I'll be checking tracking in two weeks time to see if it has ever left Japan given the circumstances right now.

I have a funny feeling that at least one (or both) of my packages from Japan via EMS is going to get nabbed for Customs when it gets to the Vancouver Sorting Depot. If what you mentioned is correct @wm cheng, there is that possibility that CBSA is going to bypass all screening for Imported Hobby Goods from Japan. DHL is most likely to get snagged for Customs in Canada and it depends if any Japanese Hobby stores place the item at the lower value or not, plus labeling the package as a "Collectable Item" is highly going to get curious eyes looking at it. Edit: @Smackyand @Darth Mingus both replied about CBSA Fees on April 9th and 10th. I've had three/four Amazon.jp packages that got delivered by DHL and not get booked for Customs due to the fact that included it in the pricing to set it to Vancouver.
