Thanks for the link. Unfortunately no paint is a deal breaker for me. This year has been stupid busy an there is no signs of it letting up. I have to mug the clock just to get toys open.
I've alreday got 13hrs in today working. Probably 2-3 more to go before my brain melts.
@sqidd If getting one thats painted is a must try here. A lot of the BSG cosplayers buy from this site.

Nice!
Is the "bl;aster" that is more visible from the OG series?
Is the gun that you can't see as well from BSG 2004? It looks a little different to me. If I remember correctly they a under slung....what I would call a grenade launcher" if it was on a rifle.
I'd be interested in a BSG 2004 pistol.
Yep on both. The more visible one is from original series. the other one is from the re-imaged series was the standard colonial sidearm that they started using from season 2 till the end of the show (its a FN FiveseveN pistol). The slug/grenade launcher was present where you see a little of the accessory rail under the barrel. You can see a tiny bit of mine in the pic. Its the grey part (just above/next to the pistol) that I need to paint black before mounting it. Eventually I'll get to it - Too many projects, not enough time. :P

Anyone interested on the AE update: My missiles were delivered to Tenso so it's all good. Looking forward to @Anasazi37's update, and if he has no issues then we'll know what address format to use. Mine obviously created hiccups even though it eventually got delivered.
That's super news!
-
I think it will still make it there. The person delivering may scratch there head for a sec seeing the "Cho" - ward subsection listed after the block #(42) and building number #(4) but should still make sense of it all.

+1 for @Corrinald easy and smooth transaction. Thanks!
-
@lavinrac Was that via UPS or Ferry? if UPS how much did they charge? if you dont mind my asking.
-
Thanks to the advice here I kept sending a new request ticket after every denial and Dr. No finally said yes. It only took 5 tries! This is YN so it will still be a year+ before anything gets shipped. :P
@VF-Zer0S Is that $33 to upgrade a DX SPP to UPS from NY?
-
Similar to the SAHRA I'll check there for the item or similar one but take the dimensions/weight and plug those in to JP Post, DHL, Etc. It wont give you pricing at the negotiated rate that some shippers may have but is still gives me adecent idea of the cost.
I have placed an order and in the comments section ask to check for lower shipping pricing. In April just before most shipping options shutdown I ordered an item from Nagoya and put in DHL as method of shipping but made a note asking to check EMS "Please check shipping cost via EMS. If less expensive than DHL please change method. Thank You". It was a somewhat small item so I figured it could go either way between DHL or EMS. When they replied back with the order confirmation / invoice they had notated in the notice section -
NOTICE: EMS 3300, DHL 4350, Air small packet 2355, Air postal parcel 4200
And was invoiced for EMS shipping. I may have gotten lucky in having someone go the extra mile for me checking pricing cost so YMMV. This may not be helpful under current conditions but may prove useful when EMS and other options become available again.

I think I paid just under $200 for mine (before shipping). same deal, Don't recall the where/when.

I did submit a ticket to which they responded within 24 hrs with the initial denial. I'm still waiting to hear back after I replied. I'll give it another day or so and then open a new ticket in hopes someone else that is more agreeable to the request will get it.

This comes up from time to time and is bewildering... maybe it depends on who you get at NY. Sometimes it's a quick and easy "Thanks, we've updated your address on that order" and sometimes they tell you to go pound sand. Try using chat. If you get an answer you don't like one day.. try again another.
Rgr, that. I wasn't sure if the subject had come up previously. It doesn't surprise me that you got different results at times. I'll press on trying to work out the problem with them.

First you have to add the new address in your account first.
Then you open a ticket or chat with address change request for that order number.
Let them know you want to change the preorder to another shipping address from your account.
But for change of shipping address , IIRC if pay by paypal, there might be issues if you change to ship to another country from your original payment
I was surprised that they flat out denied the request and didn't provide any alternatives. I actually did change my address on the website before contacting them to make the request on the pending order. I've been through this situation before, albeit not with this vendor, and even when the country changed (oddly enough when I moved back to the US from Japan) it wasn't a problem. This time it still within the same country and state so you'd think it wouldnt be that difficult.
-
So here's a new wrinkle in my dealings with NY. Last week I had to move to a new home and when I contacted them to request changing the shipping address on a pending/unfulfilled order I placed at the begging of the year they responded saying that its against there policy to change shipping addresses. They also provided no suggestion as to how to resolve this impasse. Having the item ship, whenever that may be, to my old address is not an option.
I'm awaiting to hear back on my response as I find it hard to believe that they can not accommodate an address change on a yet to ship order. Particularly in this period of delayed releases and slow/long shipping times. I don't think its unlikely that people are no longer at an address they gave 6-12+ months ago. Fortunately this is my only pending order with them, and very likely the last time I purchase something through them.
Putting this out there as I don't recall anyone mentioning having an issue with changing a shipping address with NY.

Stealth and low vis are listed on flying mule. They also have a 20% off pre order coupon.
Thanks for the heads up. They are also $20 and $10 cheaper than BBTS - before coupon is applied. saved about $34 on the low-vis

So my last pending EMS shipment arrived in the US (NY) today. I expect it will get here in the next couple of days. This had shipped on 4/10 so things are moving, albeit very slowly at almost 6 weeks.

That's the one @Vertex.
I must have skipped over that announcement.
I might order the ESB Fett helmet sometime soon. I've got two things to be dropped at my house this month and another one in June.
Time to make a Boba Fett Shrine as well!
@borgified I'm more of an Imperial at heart as you can see in the pic but I'm giving some serious consideration to getting to proto-fett helmet. (BTW - most recent Macross related purchase can be seen at bottom of pic).

Din A'Jarden's Helmet was not announced @Slave IV.
It was just a posting of a cos-play version that was posted on Pinterest/Instagram and maybe Reddit.
The Concept version (proto-Fett) has been shown, however is the pre-order for that one been announced at all (don't seem to recall anything on that version)?
@borgified You mean this one?

@Slave IV Seeing your Boba Fett helmet got me interested for a moment and I would have gotten it if it was available at Dorkside. Now sold out so it wasn’t meant to be. It’s all good though.
@sh9000 Is getting it from hasbro pulse not an option?

(and if you're missing just a few, please state why)
I'm no where near having them all but like slave I was attracted to them as they represented a broad spectrum of the verse sort to speak. In addition I wanted these for display at my office so the size was another factor. I currently have the following -
VF-1S Strike Valkyrie
VT-1 Superostrich
VF-1D Valkyrie
VF-1A Super Valkyrie
VE-1 Elintseeker
VF-1A Valkyrie (CF)And hope to get the following (Listed in priority)
VF-4 Lighting III
Glaug
Regult
Defender
Spartan
VF-1J
MonsterSo i'd say I'm almost 1/2 way through my want list.

I'm coming up on 3 days since I sent a ticket Monday evening and have yet to receive a response. Wonder if there just real busy, or will be soon with all those inbound VF-0's
