    So every state will have a different tax? That's just...unfortunate for you. I feel sorry about that.Really.I still have to understand why i need to pay a tax for buying something abroad which i cannot buy in my home country(it doesn't go for every japanese anime related goods but for many of them).
  2. Robin-11
    Thank you for the explanation, the situation is very similar here in Italy, with packages from stores such as AE or the old NY that were magiacally free of every importing tax. Now they are taxing EVERY pacakage coming from non-EU countries so it's always 10 euro for the small ones and 20 for the bigger ones...i think it's just extortion but, what can we do?

    Despite its age and all of its flaws i am always amazed to see that these first releases were actually...panel lined. And they are a piece of macross toys history.

    Christmas sure, but which year?😅 Jokes aside, sometimes even Bandai comunicates pretty late in the month the exact release day, right?
  5. Robin-11
    Same exact thing here. Bandai's policy is getting every day more absurd... personally i couldn't even find the pre-order for it on AJP...good thing gunpla are not very expensive so custom taxes won't be so tragic...just out of curiosity, how much do they charge in germany for importing this kind of goods? In italy with DHL is around the 30% of the purchase(including shipping which is absolutely ridicoulous).
  6. Robin-11
    Damn! I mean, not even the shady places like nin-nin or luna park have it for pre-order😅

    Well, i live in europe so i guess i am pretty much screwed. Damn Bandai! I don't think there are any reliable local sites in my country which sell gunpla. Here in Italy it's all about myth cloth and soul of chogokin...and if there are i am pretty sure i will be getting my copy six months after the release date. Thank you anyway for your answer.

    I noticed that only HLJ has opened the preorders for the new Z gundam Ver.Ka. Is that normal? Usually most of the other online stores i buy from (like amiami or animexport) carry gunplas but i don't see it up for PO on any other sites...shall i preorder it on HLJ or do i keep waiting?

    Basically i wrote on every available box "I want a dx YF-21". Hope i was able to make myself clear.
  10. Robin-11
    Wow, that looks like a very interesting list! I had no idea the complete one was that long. Thank you!
  11. Robin-11
    Can someone translate this list? It's the list of the super robots that Pose+ is considering producing in the next few months/years. And it's official, not fan speculations. I think the first is Albegas while the secondo should be General Daimos?

    I actually did consider that but unfortunately my first attempt to customize a Valkyrie this summer ended tragically. It was an old 1/48 VF-1 from yamato that completely yellowed and i decided to give it a try. It didn't turn out well. Although i have some skills as a modeler since i have been building gunpla since the 90s i feel this would be way beyond my abilities. In the end i will just probably will just save it for later or for an easy diorama.

    Now that i was able to secure my preorder(i think first time in the history of macross toys for me) the real question is... What i am going to do with my original Alto VF-25F? it's a bit yellowed so the best solution would be to put some armored parts on and leave it in battroid mode. Problem is...How much are armored parts these days? Do i need to sell a kidney and lung to buy a set or one internal organ should be enough?
  14. Robin-11
    Since that we are talking about M+ and the YF-21...I was trying to touch up a little my old 1/60 from Yamato. Is there any kind of waterslide decals out there that can be used to replace the horrible stickers from yamato? They look really terrible and i think it's a big shame because it's the only thing i can't stand of the model. I wanted to try the decals from the Hasegawa 1/72 model kit but i am afraid they could be too small. Any suggestions?
  15. Robin-11
    I agree with you when you talk about rotating cockpit on the VF-1...but if i remember correctly the old VF-0s from yamato do have this kind of feature right? Never bothered to check on the new ones from arcadia though. Are there any other VFs i am forgetting that had rotating seats?
  16. Robin-11
    I used them for the first time this week for a non macross item. They shipped the item three days after the release date and it was delivered safe at my house today via DHL. Very happy about the service, will probably use them again.
  17. Robin-11
    I totally agree with you. I always prefer details and extra accessories over size. Anyway as a kid that would have been a dream coming true.
  18. Robin-11
    For me for that price it has to be able to fly. In outer space.
  19. Robin-11
    For once their posing is really good! Kinda made me want to build a Gunpla...also, i really wish they would release a 2.0 version of the 0083 MS. They all look great but they definitely need an upgrade.
  20. Robin-11
    Thank you very much for your explanation, now everything is much more clear. For what it's worth i never thought Tom Cruise was actually piloting the aircraft himself. Not only because i am pretty sure the navy and the military have a very strict policy about that but also because if something would have happened to him(or the aricraft), goodbye Top Gun 2. So let me ask you another question then...is there a specific reason why they chose to go into the final mission with that particular squadron(some dual-seaters some single-seater)? I mean, the dual-seaters can do things that the single-seater can't and viceversa?
  21. Robin-11
    So i finally watched the movie last night and loved every second of it! I am just unclear on one thing and i am going to warn you i am very ignorant on the topic... It seems like there were some of the F-18 that were two-seater aircraft and others that were one-seater...did i miss something or what? How does it work in real life aviation? Are there two versions of the same aircraft? I was so excited while i was watching it that i might have missed something....
  22. Robin-11
    I agree, same thing here. I spent almost a week trying secure a pre-order at a decent price and there was no freaking way. It's not going to be a regret for me. Also, this and many other so and so experiences kinda made me want to stop buying Bandai products. At least for super robots there are many other great options now.
  23. Robin-11
    I really like this version of Danguard A! There are some small modifications to the original design but overall i think it's the perfect modern interpretation of a super robot from the 70s. Does anybody know where i can pre-order it?
  24. Robin-11
    To me it's totally worth it. Actually i think the proportions and the details are even better than the DX SOC. Unfortunately i couldn't afford this new Golion but if had the money i would totally buy one. Or even two.
  25. Robin-11
    I actually consider myself lucky that i got pretty much everything i wanted in my collection by now(i started collecting anime mechas and figures in 1999). I feel really bad for the ones who started in the last few years...an hobby should be relaxing but now it's becoming almost nerve wracking.
