I can't really find anyplace selling this except for Nippon-Yasan, and given they're three weeks out shipping other things I've ordered they're of my list of places I'll order from anymore.

You can try sidesevenexport.com, but it's a one manned show and requires payment upfront. Im sure the other sites as well.  Sorry just too lazy to look them up atm. XD

When did HLJ's shipping prices go Nippon-Yasan levels of Extortion?  EMS for the Fazz is $50.  FedEx is $100.

Maybe something is up with hlj's automatic shipping calculator.  I recall the topic being brought up when shipping qoutes were given for the Metal Structure Nu Gundam were actually in error back in Dec. 

I got my MotorNuclear White Dragon (phoenix) today from ShowZStore, finally. Was scheduled to arrive the 6th but usps posted no updates, then yesterday the 12th they posted that there was an incomplete address error. And then today they stated the item was undeliverable at 8:14am and to reschedule a redelivery (but did not provide the rescheduling link) or pick it up in person. I checked the security cams and noone attempted to deliver anything within the 20 min time frame around 8:15am. I had to go down to the post office to pick it up in person, and wait for the clerk to search for it for 30 mins. The outer brown box was wrapped in a black plastic bag with ShowZStore's packing taped and the affixed shipping label was 'typed' (not handwritten) on the broadside of the box. The shipping label looked like it had seen a fair amount of water, but was still completely legible... so I'm not sure what USPS' reasoning for an incomplete address. The outer box looked like it got tossed around with other boxes (and maybe kicked, lol), but the item's package remained well intact. The only damage I could see was one or two dented/bent points/tips. Otherwise it's a great item!

The base is even mold with two colors, black and a clear smoke gray.

So all my ShowZ crap is now in limbo thanks to the &@(@tards at that biolab. 

I asked ShowZ if they needed masks I could send them. Just for them...And I know its bad and I felt bad for asking but i asked if they will be giving refunds, I have at least 750 dollars of product not sent to me yet. 

I sold a lot of my collection to get this stuff. 

Doesnt the site owner live in HK,  I have a friend there and she told me and videod shelves are empty man 

The Motar Nuclear White Dragon which is still on its way (thanks usps >.> and isc) was mailed out from Shanghai. Even if the site owner has a shop in HK, I'm guessing their main wearhouse might be in/around/near Shanghai?

Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

That looks nice! Also expecting a clear ver at some point.

Tyty!

I usually don't post, but muahahhaahhaa

Friend helped me get an order through bluefin. FYI $6 shipping... XD. I wouldnt have mind paying extra for a packed/padded out box. So far only a small hole on the top.

So I put all I can put, not cool at all T.T

Also I heard that launcher pack comes first and there’s a high possibility that it will combine strike to sell, like a package

Geezzz.. how many is that? I lost count after 12, it looks incredibly busy to keep count! XD

Damn! That SW is looking awesome! I've been out of the tf game for awhile, but a good sw always pulls me back in!

I was informed that event excludes the US. 

I'm on the fence with MotorNuclear. Pulling bait and switch tactics with their designs. I know I'm not the only one who's expressed this regarding the white dragon. The design change is only 'okay'. The original was better.

Does anyone remember when TMNT was a black and white comic ? And it was gritty and violent..now they're hello kitty with a weapon..

I recall those days. I had the comics and books (just not sure where they are now lol).

The shin has always been retractable, I can't see why it would be a problem nor how it wold affect the fighter mode.

Here's the thing... the shin probably is retractable. I highly doubt bandai wouldn't make it retractable.  Now the question is "why is it so short where the top shin is missing?" That might have to do with whats in the calf/leg section above it.

Or the design this time around might be entirely different. Where the shin could possibly swivel 180 degrees so the foot is in the calf when it changes to fighter mode. I only believe this maybe possible because we know there's a cover in tail section of the fighter mode which hides the feet, unlike yamato's version.

I stumbled this over Twitter.

That gap for the shin? I noticed that awhile ago and figured others had already seen it. 

Well anime magic has its compromises... XD

Depends on where the buyer lives but even at 10% tax, it's still cheaper than HLJ total

Ahh yea you're right. I stopped using bbts awhile ago and they use to only charge their state tax (WI 4%), but now its based on where the item is being delivered to.

it's 890 at hlj +300 shipping

edit: it's 929 at BBTS. + flat rate 4 bucks shipping

not sure but there seems to be a flaw in your calculations. 

you not perfect anymore

Dont forget state tax! XD

I think its 4% at bbts.

For the Fin Funnels? 

https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000138917/

 

Out of curiosity though, how many here is going to do a Double Fin Funnel display?

 

Ill be doing the double funnel display. My friend is planning to do angel wings with 4 and if anything ill lend him my two in case he needs a larger wingspan for pictures... lol.

The Fin Funnels opened up for the Metal Structure Nu again. I finally snagged an order with DeJapan.

Same here. Its not a 2nd batch because the release date is still for June 2020. I'm wondering if some people cancelled their funnel orders because some shops cancelled and refunded some customers on their MS Nu preorders. A friend of mine had his order with Kuramashop cancelled and his deposit of $500 was refunded. Hmm after 6 months of holding onto multiple persons orders (say 100 people) with a deposit of $500 each for half a year ($50k) I'm sure gains some interest. Nvm me I'm just  on some crazy rambling speculation... lol.

I had an order with Dejapan for the fin funnels but my order is still open and the funnels are already sold out. I’m assuming they weren’t able to secure a copy. What are the chances they’ll have another wave of funnels available for order?

I'm in the same boat as you. Last week I sent them a polite email regarding the order and they stated that p-bandai sold out and by special request if I would like DJ to continue waiting to place an order in case bandai does a second order.

I know it's already the holiday in Japan and they're probably closed, but I've contacted DJ again because the availability of the funnels have re-opened randomly over the past week/weekend and atm it was still open several minutes ago. I'm assuming DJ manually places orders on P-bandai's website otherwise our orders might've been fulfilled already.

My 4 Super Parts sets arrived via FedEx FromJapan today. Faster than expected... I was thinking they would arrive next week. FJ didn't even send a shipping notice, lol.

According to FedEx's tracking it was mailed out the 17th about 10pm and arrived today the 19th.

I got my arrival notice via fromjapan for the strike parts. Weird thing... it said I was on the april 2020 batch. Hmm... 

Wow thats shiny! They plated the white parts too!

Edit: Woah 295$!?

Woah... kind of glad i just ignored my payment request from NY.
