yes, but there many restrictions.   The air small packet they are taking about will not have tracking and will not have insurance.  

Iitems over 15,000yen can not ship by air small packet too.

It's best to keep watch on Japan Post News and Update from their website.

https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/index_en.html

Surface mail resumed to US since October 9 based on this link: https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/2020/1008_01_en.html

Here's another link to show all the countries: https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/overview_en.html

If HLJ claims they can as per the info they provided thru all the links they posted, then it's true.

Thanks for the reply then 290 usd isn't a bad choice.

True. Sad to say that's probably our new norm when it comes to finding cheaper place to buy only to pay more later for what shipping method is available for us. If only EMS or SAL is still available, it's practical to order it abroad. But with the current shipping cost for let's say DHL, it just caught up with the US pricing.

yeah, I agree on that one.. if the price is close enough, I would preorder it from USA because of easy returns or you can easily contact Bluefin too.

And right now, the price is getting closer and closer due to the shipping cost.   

I saw the main page of HLJ saying air small package is recovered to usa. Is it true？

Any NA website open PO for new astray gold frame amatsu mina?

Anyone get metal build freedom concept 2 from big bad toy store ? My pre-order is still not fulfilled.

Yeah, I was expecting them to get Dynames R3 or Justice out first, but F91 and Gold Frame Mina just jumped ahead. Now if they release the GN Arms that would be nice, that thing is long overdue

I wouldn’t count on that, far as I know Bandai has no plan for that, but R3 and justice are on the way

Kind of disappointed at the symmetrical arm, but its better than trying to get the older gold frame

I am surprised they release this one so soon. Disappointed but still have to get one T.T

This looks like the matte black gold frame they showed off a few weeks ago...Good thing its a general release and not a P-Bandai. Damn it my wallet is bleeding already...

Yes，it is the one they showed，matte paint，same left and right arm

I check this old image they have online and on the bottom portion it also says ‘Princess of the Sky’. 2nd batch reissue maybe?

New black mina has same arms left and right，previous version has different arms

My nihonggo is not as good as the others here. But on the bottom part where it has the red background is, it says ‘netshop’ in katakana so I’m guessing webshop exclusive.

I can’t find any image what’s the difference from this ‘Princess of the Sky’ against the Amatsu that they released before. Probably this is the white Amatsu that they showed in the recent TN event. 

一般店头 means regular release

Is it a webshop exclusive or a regular release?

Regular release

The red soul version is already out? 

Only Tamashii 2020 version is available now, destiny is the same but not the bright color. I’d recommend get one if at a reasonable price now cuz Pb version will release next year.

How tall is it from the bottom of it's feet to the tips of the wings?

Around 45-50cm

I‘m little disappointed to the new WOL when it reflects light, the color looks like some gift bag cover.

Comparison between the new WOL from the old one in terms of weight? 

I haven't weight them but I feel new WOL is bit lighter.

For the new F91, what are the chance of it being sold by Amazon JP or US retailers?

Amazon jp already sold out，US retailers not yet open PO

It's working now again. I might cancel mine from HLJ if a domestic order opens up. It might probably end up a bit cheaper.

HLJ is adding japanese sales tax to certain popular items so the price is 10% higher, it’s not that competitive. You can certainly find somewhere offers cheaper deals.

Easiest PO in the recent years YAY
