Still waiting for the VF-31S to appear on the Japanese sites. Release date is 21 July. Should be appearing soon I hope.

I'm also waiting for the orders to be release so can get one at original price

Considering the price difference, I'd say go with the Kai. ¥6000 yen more, comes with the missiles, and it'll probably have a larger value increase over time as it's limited.

yup if i get most likely will go for the kai like wat u said comes with the missiles n limited.

too many big item to consider recently..another one is PF VF-0S

Please understand that FJ is just a proxy and all they do is just be a middle man between a random person in Japan and you. Please double check the description and Photo. Sometimes it put a very vague disclaimer that kind of protect them. If ever there are intentional wrong description, FJ will help you if you use the Buyer protection plan. I did a dispute with them when such thing was implemented and got my previous account banned.

 

At the end of the day, imo, it is just a missing instruction and not a broken toy.

 u r just doing what is right n since u have the buyer protection plan and they just ban u? then wat happen to ur purchase regarding the protection plan?

It sounds to me like you bought it "as-is," so you're kind of stuck with what you have.  If you bought any kind of product checking/validation service from FromJapan, then you might have a leg to stand on with them (depending on their interpretation of what it is you bought).  If you skipped on that, then I'd say you're definitely SoL.  But you could always try contacting them, see what they say. 

Again, I'd caution pushing too hard if you want to use their service again.

yup just contacted them with pics regarding this and see wat they say. If they said it is sold as per pic then i have nothing to say. Not going to push hard on this issue

I'm not sure about a refund, you'd probably have to go through whatever proxy you used.  But honestly, I wouldn't even bother (but that is me).  There is this part in the description (from Google translate):

•  In regard to second-hand goods, although we perform product checks,  there may be fine dirt, damage etc. other than the description. The value of the state differs, especially depending on the viewer, of second - hand goods.  Please refrain from your order if you are looking for nervous people and goods.

I'd say that leaves you basically screwed, depending on the exact wording.  Again, you're not really missing much without the instructions.  You got a pretty good price (unless shipping/fees were really high), so I wouldn't feel too bad about it.  I seriously doubt they will give you any kind of a partial refund for no instructions.  

I'd say if you want to use that service again, don't mess with it, as it is going to get you labeled as a "problem customer."  If you have no intention of using either service again, knock yourself out.

I also realized that the remove before flight cardboard is missing which again did not state in the page.

ya regarding the part:

 In regard to second-hand goods, although we perform product checks,  there may be fine dirt, damage etc. other than the description. The value of the state differs, especially depending on the viewer, of second - hand goods.  Please refrain from your order if you are looking for nervous people and goods.

what I understand is the condition like scratches dirt etc. But they did not state that anything was missing.

You could try to get a refund, but I'd say that is pretty unlikely given the condition.  Moreover, I wouldn't worry too much about the instructions, as they aren't even that great for this particular valk.  @jenius' transformation video for this is pretty good:

If you get stuck on a certain part I could maybe help out.  I could also take picture of a particular page of the instructions, if you really need that.  The hardest part by far is getting the gerwalk bracket-thing together.

I know jenius would be without a doubt much better instruction but still feels a bit rip off by the deal when they did not state anything regarding missing instruction sheet.

about the refund how to they go about doing it? Do i send the item back or they just offer like a few bucks off for the instruction sheet?

guys check with u all. recently I got a set of open 262 with the add-on part through fromjapan. When I received it, the instructions for 262 was missing.

This is the link of the item that I bought

SV-262

So not sure about what I do can about it? Because the descriptions did not say anything about the instruction sheet missing. 

It was HLJ....  They send me the confirmation email after that. Thought that's it till just now I went to check n only one order. The other is missing n they did not even bother to email me about it.... First time being able to PO at normal price....

If I had known would have order another one from NY...

And it's gone !

Oic....Thanks for the reply lol

Guys....I order separately 2 vf-31f from HLJ and received the confirmation email but when I check my account only one open order can be seen. Wat happen to my other order? Any idea?

The Draken is more affordable now, however the Lil'Draken add ons are getting sparser (that's not counting the ones for the 31).

I'm waiting for either the Elvis Ha or Mirage's/Cannon fodder Ba variants.

its an open set but hopefully in good condition. both 2 used n both were in great condition.

20k but since its through fromjapan and plus shipping i guess another 3k? still beats buying it else where at the moment

got the 262 and the super part for under 20k yen before shipping. Hope its a gd deal

I don’t pay attention at all. I place orders, they show up at my door someday. I’m happy. 

I do that too. Just fire and forget. Sometimes it feels like a surprise when u got a parcel suddenly out of nowhere.

31j plus the super part is the normal vj31-j

Very true also. Like a few hundreds more yen for a brand new vf-31kai. But does NY one comes with the shipper box?

Also a used vf-31 n super part worth getting at 30 + k yen?

Famn I missed out on a vf-31j kai just by a meer 500yen .... The auction was closed at 23500yen. Feel like killing myself for that. Was actually prepare to go till 25kyen

Not sure if it's still open since PO for this ended months ago. But make sure to check two weeks prior of its release because sometimes some store will open up a few for preorder and still offer discounted PO price. If not, then you can check it once it gets released. Then you have to pay it in MSRP.

 

Saw fromjapan n is like 24k yen man....

Anywhere to order the VF-31s at decent price at this moment?
