I managed to get one from HLJ. But in the process, I notice that if I use the USD price listed by the website, I will pay over 65 USD more than the Yen price (including EMS shipping). My credit card exchange rate is nothing special, so HLJ's exchange rate is really bad.

I took my DX VT-1 apart to try to paint the landing gear. That was months ago. I got distracted and didn't finish the project. Worry about the loose parts laying around, I try to put it back together just now. There are 5 short and two long screws. I only use 4 short and one long, so there are now one short and one long screw left over. I can't seem to find where the extra should go. Anyone who have took DX VF-1 apart remember?

missed the PO on this revised release. Anywhere I can get it now? BBTS is charging a lot for it.
-
Side Seven finally sent my order and I just got it today. There is no paper tent?
-
I have an order with them and they never reply to repeated email asking for status, after the item is available for over 1 month from other sellers. I am likely not see my money or item ever.
-
I logged in yesterday out of the blue and noticed this PO, but I am traveling and in the Asia time zone not my normal US time zone, so was confused and forgot to check just now. I will wait for WW release or get one via proxy on Japan release day. I have done that for a few missed PO and it went well. So no big problem. -
missed another PO. 4 hours too late
-
missed the PO on this, well will have to wait until release day and try to get one.
-
Really like to get the KÄMPFER but missed the PO. Now US PB is avaiable at about $400 USD. Ouch. Any other choice?
-
Nice review. Came here to post the link but was 1 hour late
-
Getting one will be super hard.
-
I know. The shield tip the scale for me. Bandai scam!
-
tried that, no luck.
-
Pbandai US is congested!! Can't checkout
-
I have not check my card yet (was using my wife's card, so can't check yet as she is away), was just looking at the price stated in the invoice. Edit: but I suspect it will be $309, as I set the payment currency as USD wrongly.
-
I was checking yahoo japan listing prices, it is closing at 40K and above. So people are still paying that level.
-
One of the review in Japan said that on release day, there are tons of the hi nu in the shop near where he live and there is no problem getting one at all. So I am not expected to see it still goes up beyond the retail price. Its seems to have plenty of supply.
-
He is one of my favorite reviewer.
-
I tried the payment setting yesterday before posting, not working. But today when I login to HLJ again, all prices is now in Yen. Seems like it take some time to take effect. The more I think about this, the worst I feel about the price gauging of HLJ.
-
Sometime it works, but most of the time the p-bandai page is region locked. You need a vpn that connect to a Japan server to see the page properly.
-
I see. So they pocket the 10% extra. Thx. So the exchange rate they use is still a bit worse than what google uses. Even paypal rate of 127.1 yen to a dollar put 35200 at $276.95 So HLJ is price gouging big time. Over 10% extra. Thx also for the pbandai link for the bazooka. Seems like ordering will start 16:00 1st Aug.
-
late the the party, but manage to order from hobby genki.
-
HLJ charged me $309 for the hi nu. The retail price is 32000 yen, with the current exchange rate, I was hopping that it will be less. What was the original yen price for this in HLJ? I can't seems to change the price to Yen in HLJ anymore. Thinking of ordering the hyper bazooka to get the shield, but no PO page available. Anyone have the link for the p-bandai page that I can use for proxy service?
-
missed the PO. And not happy about having to pay $60 for my "mistake". Might wait for release day.
-
Any other link (on top of AmiAmi, NinNin and Luna) up yet for the hi nu metal build? HLJ?
