    From Nin-Nin... It's Etienne again, from Nin-Nin Game. We have some important news for you: --- Resumption of FedEx & DHL Shipping Methods for US We are pleased to resume FedEx and DHL shipping to the U.S, following extensive testing and feedback ! Orders placed from June 6th onward using FedEx or DHL will ship normally and won’t be held. Orders over $800 USD will still be held by default. To keep an order on hold intentionally, simply write “on hold” in the order comment section when placing your order. Customers with current orders under the “On Hold USA” status who wish to ship via FedEx or DHL may now contact customer support to request shipment. You can find more detailed information about this update in our Freshdesk FAQ. If you want to check your current orders for any "ON HOLD USA" status, please head over to your Order list: https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/order-history Thanks a lot for your loyalty, and see you soon!

    I wouldn't go that far.
  3. Radioguy
    Meh. I've seen better.
  4. Radioguy
    That's a first (in my experience). One of the Bandai replacements I had was out over a year.
  5. Radioguy
    Agreed, but I'd take another color first...
  6. Radioguy
    Wow. Wish HMR had that set.

    Go back in this thread, and Valkyrie Factory did tease a CF, as well as an Angel Bird. Haven't ever seen them though. They seem to have gone all in as Fugu here on the Jetfire.
  8. Radioguy
    Hilarious.
  9. Radioguy
    I might swap with ya.
  10. Radioguy
    My condolences.

    Well, they changed the box too, apparently. Looks like they Photoshopped out the UN Spacy tampos from even the box images, and did a new print run on the box. Some great comparison images at the link below: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/fugu-model-fg-01-god-of-flame-1-60-jetfire.1252186/page-93#post-23371581

    The lack of Glaug in those pictures is concerning to me.
  13. Radioguy
    Supposed to be tampo-free now, and "might" have no heat shield, and was supposed to come with autobot stickers, but Show.Z says they may not send them due to customs inspections.

    I loved those Service Merchandise catalogs. My mom did not. Yes, those were the days. When mothers wrote letters, and presidents were afraid of them.
  15. Radioguy
    You should send that picture to @BroTaku79 as a testament to those stands. Maybe you'll get a coupon out of it. 😉
  16. Radioguy
    BINGO. Well, I did have one small, conceivably replaceable, part that didn't snap-in on one of my more costly items, and they still sent a new retail-boxed one. Frankly, I wonder if they ever audit the warranty replacement process to see if they ought to fire anyone over sending whole products out. 🤪
  17. Radioguy
    I understand that's your personal experience. I do get that. No. I spoke of items in general when I spoke of warranty coverage from Bandai Namco, and Bluefin before. When I speak of others' experience, it includes comments I have seen on other platforms, discussions with staff at local retailers, and friends which have experienced the same. Insofar as expense goes, I have received several warranty replacements, including two retail-boxed SHMA replacements that were DX-comparable in price; in fact, which cost more than a YF-21. So, based on that experience, that Bandai Namco sent out an entire YF-21 did not surprise me. I guess I don't need to repeat that again. I only wonder now if they withheld the retail box because it wasn't on hand, or as a new matter of policy to prevent return/resale. The latter would be prudent, but hasn't happened in my experience.
  18. Radioguy
    I remember. Well, someone finally realized it existed as they went through that page to deactivate every PO on it. I did, but I am expressing my experience here, and I have had conversations elsewhere where I, more often than not, have heard of the same result. Oh, I had thought that would change once Bluefin was gone, but even now being Bandai Namco I have heard of this result. I'm sorry that you and some others haven't had the same experience, and I'm not implying you did anything wrong or were undeserving, but, truly, I was not at all surprised he received a new valk. No acting required. Like I said, it would seem that's more trouble than it's worth to whoever handled that claim.
  19. Radioguy
    I'm surprised you guys are surprised! That's been pretty standard for my experience with them ever since they were Bluefin, and now actually Bandai Namco. It is apparently easier for them to just send that than open a box and part out something. The only change here is that they sent him it without another retail box. Last time I had a warranty issue, they just grabbed a retail boxed item and shipped it.
  20. Radioguy
    Just quoting that for posterity.
  21. Radioguy
    Needs music.
  22. Radioguy
    Update: Show-Z is now saying the stickers won't be included in the stock shipped to the USA. I'm guessing the tampos being removed will hold true, but I guess the implication is now is whether the box will make it through. Yes.
  23. Radioguy
    So, apparently the restock of the Fugu will remove the Macross-specific tampos, and include Jetfire-specific stickers now. Hopefully those stickers will be available separately from buying another copy of the whole figure.
  24. Radioguy
    Yikes. I remember when a company would give someone something made of gold, like a watch. Well, I don't remember, but I remember plenty of TV and films that had shown that. Back in "the before times".
  25. Radioguy
    Yeah, not defending the pricing which is a LOT more than Mandarake when they have it. Still, aside form how old it is and that it's new, there are few decent TV version SDF-1 iterations after Takatoku (I still think this is too small, and not even on par with WHAM's DYRL one). You also have to wonder if the uptick is also due to the increased SDF-1 talk of the DYRL reissue from Arcadia. Nin-Nin taking advantage of that as well.
