    Bandai DX GBP Armor Set and VF-1J Armored Valkyrie

    in Toys

    Posted

    Got my set from Luna Park yesterday - they packed very well this time around, fully boxed and padded on the inside. Thumbs up here.

    For the toy itself, its pretty, its beefy!  Just the grey goggles head makes a big difference.  Great addition, glad I got it.

    However, I got a loose left shoulder. When the arm armor is on, it cant hold a post with the arm extended out like if twas trying to do a t-pose.

    Any ideas on how to tighten it?

    yeah I sent Luna Park a pretty stern email about the delays and stuff.  Was my 4th email to them.

    Finally it started moving in the DHL system and should be here by weekend.

    This was the last reply i got from them.

    Thanks for your message.
     
    Please do not worry, most of VF-1D have been shipped out already, and we have received some comments about packaging issue (DHL didn't warp the item properly, as they didn't use bubble wrap for the brown premium bandai box).
     
    We called back some of those parcels which haven't been shipped out yet, your one is one of those parcels, we will wrap it with care, to make sure that you receive it in perfect condition.
     
    your parcel should be moving today or tomorrow, we are expecting you to receive it within this week.
     
    please kindly let us know once you received it, thanks again.
     
    I dunno what to think about them really.  They did reply back to every email I am getting it, and I do think they fraked up but are trying to fix it.  I also have the 2 other Macross preoders with them (GBP) kinda of pain the ass to cancel this PO's are over with at other places right?

    Got a reply just now from Luna Park:

    "Thanks for your email.
    we have confirmed with DHL, you will get your item within next week, you should see the movement on Tuesday.
    sorry about the inconvenience, our office is right next to the Olympic village, there is traffic control here, DHL's working hour has been limited, and they are not allow to pick up parcel on friday and weekend."

    Got a msg earlier in the week that they will check into it, but after that radio silence...

    I'm 95% done with Macross collecting. Just reading through this thread every day confirms it. It's gotten to damn hard/annoying/frustrating and most of all to damn expensive.  It really shouldn't be THIS hard to spend my hard earned money on glorified toys which, let's face it, are only worth at most about $150. (DX VF-1's)  Good luck to all going for this line from here on out. I'm out.

    I bit the bullet and preordered one as well.  That's a bit more than what I wanted to pay, but only by about 2k yen or so.  I'm willing to eat that cost to avoid the scramble of finding one after release and the lack of sleep that requires.

    ditto - got one in as well!

    I ordered the TV fast packs from AE (anime export) at basically $100 - I already have a few pre-orders with them from back in the spring (spida man), are these guys good to shop from?  I had not used them before this - all this talk of shaddy websites has me a bit concerned.

    The pacing is slower and it is fantastic. For ages its been a grumble point for me that you cant soak up the environment, the ambiance, little moments which let you connect with a character and the world they live in.  So many movies and shows today have scenes and fights that are half second long - catered to the ADD generation? I dunno...  Thank goodness we got this and I think it adds to why alot of people like the show, but don't really realize it.
