just got another from okini for 311.17 with dhl to california.  seems decent at the moment

That's not bad at all with fast shipping like that included.

All sellers on ebay say this is an "expensive" item in japan and that the price has been rising.

As far as shipping goes, one seller used COVID as the excuse though they were suppose to ship 1 day after my first one with the same shipping method (FedEx) and it has not been scanned into FedEx system yet since Dec. 1.  My most recent order a few days ago is FedEx as well and has been processed through the system and I believe should be here by the end of the week.

Ohh found it found it...

this is for the super parts, bought from this place and AE.
Payment to Collectoys Goudougaisha          ¥11,480

Amount paid          ¥11,480

nice,  glad you were able to order your set. 

 

Yup and I ended up ordering the super parts too this time.  Though, AE won't let me pay for shipping yet.  I forgot where else I ordered one set from lol

DX Roy on feeBay for $321.99

https://www.ebay.com/itm/143867067604?ul_noapp=true

I bought 3 from him @ $319.99 each.  His lowest was $314.99 if I remember correctly.

Oh that person is selling 6 at a time and not letting everyone know how many he has, but it's all good.  Lowest price on ebay right now, not the lowest we have seen of course.

I was hoping Bandai would re-issue the VF-1S Roy Focker.  Guess that is never happening.  Weren't they also suppose to come out with Khakizaki?  I loved this line, very easy to place around the desk or on the computer.

Check it out check-check it out.  Not my photo (I don't have this many of these!)  But take a look.

I know it isn't a mind blowing deal but at least this guy is reputable and responds to messages on ebay, so he is legit.  He will ship.

Last thought, IF my "scammed" items actually do ship I'll reverse the decision and I'll end up with... a whole bunch of valks. 

I got scammed on ebay for 2, and got one from FedEx.  So now I bought 3 more, cost $71 more to do that now.  Ughhh...

oh wow, the seller I bought from just now has 40 in stock.  cool.

After my experience I'll advise you to upgrade to UPS and get it over and done with.

UPS... what a joke.

I paid for pre-order strike parts sets at N-Y and took a while (and I forgot about the transaction) but they refunded me eventually. I haven't bought there since then.  Seems like too much of a hassle when you know you legitimately pre-pay and they can't even deliver the items.

That's what I'm going to do is save for more valks that are coming in the future and put my other collecting hobby on a back burner.  Mattel can suck a fat one lol

If they ever do release a VT-1 I'll just give up on buying a chunky 1/55.  There's a seller on ebay that wants almost 2 grand for one.  lol. and those aren't even rare.

You'll feel a shock wave through the world when that PO is announced. 

Personally I would prefer the VT-1 with its super packs.  Though, I prefer the head on the VF-1D.  Well I would buy both :P

What Nin-nin and MyKombini do are unscrupulous imo and cannot be tolerated. My experience with NY makes me think they could have some incompetencies and bad policies but I never feel like they are purposefully trying to bend me over. Definitely not a great situation but I see incompetence in so many places, I can get around that and deal with it.

MyKombini banned me after I returned a valk because it had two of the same piece of armors in the box. They tried to claim that I didn't know what I was talking about.  I sent it back with a rubber band around the armor on the wrong side lol.

What's the ballpark estimate for shipping this DX TV-SP from AE nowadays?

Anybody ordered the DYRL-SPs from AE and can comment on the shipping-fees they charged for US addresses?

AE don't(or can't) use EMS anymore, right?   Are they using DHL or something else?

 

I dunno total was just 10800 yen.  It didn't mention shipping cost.

It's really too bad about NY and nin-nin-game.  I have ordered from both in the past. NY started being a hassle when they wouldn't ship my strike parts.  So eventually they refunded me (after I had forgotten about it completely so I'm pretty lucky).  Nin-nin-game has good prices and shipped my two missile sets.  No problem there.  But with all that is said here, I'm just going to use more reputable sites.

Thanks for the info on preorders, ebay, and everything guys.  And have good holidays.

Already up for PO on Anime-Export. $103
http://www.anime-export.com/product/50139

 

They came through with my order of three movie style SSPs. I did order right away originally though. 

Thanks. EXACTLY where I wanted to order from.  Though I was really on the fence about these, I'll just grab one.

Same here, got mine through Nin-Nin, just waiting to see if they cancel mine or actually ship my order. Here's hoping my gamble pays off. 

Hope they don't.  After all, they did ship my missiles sets and that was iffy too.

Good deal on a a Focker. Seems a bit sketchy though. You'd want to watch your chargeback window like a hawk.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/254780630070?ul_noapp=true

That's a pretty good deal right there.  Now I wish I didn't buy one yesterday lololol

I bought 2 from this seller, no lies.  Just now.  Hopefully I get all my orders.  Looks like this comes out on the 4th of next month?

It's a 19,800 yen item which is about 200 bucks, so consider shipping another 65 bucks maybe and that goes to 265, so 298 isn't a huge profit.  I'm just guesstimating the shipping, probably is lower than that but still.

Just now, sqidd said:

That's a good deal.

I mean it is, but I owe my dentist about a grand so this month's bills are going to be pretty high :P
