  1. Got it. And that's why it's really hard to tell what's what with DHL. Because based on the sample quote of a shoebox size that I posted earlier, the price is so astronomical. When the Voltes V order that I have with AmazonJP which I think it will use DHL, the shipping is just Y8000 something. So it's what we're saying earlier. We just use the JapanPost chart as a guide to reference to have an idea how much might cost us. Because I'm pretty sure retailers have discount, just like what you said, in which we as a customer will not see it first-hand while ordering. And currently, we know that there's no JapanPost EMS and SAL. We just use its pricing chart as a reference since it's more accessible than DHL's.
  2. Care to share a link if that's ok? Is it somehow same as JapanPost's EMS Rate listing? Because I'm having a hard time getting a sample quote using their Get-A-Quote Japan site. Because for a 2kg Shoe box that has a measurement of 35x20x15cm, I'm getting astronomical pricing from Y17974 to Y19538 to ship it from Japan to US. Unless I'm doing it wrong.
  3. Ah. The UN Spacy. That I forgot. Thanks Sanity. What's so funny that every time this topic or concern gets raised it automatically boils your blood. It's not because to what happened to Macross but it's more of moral and decency questions. It's so twisted. It reminds me of it whenever I get to watch Italian Job and how Lyle keeps on claiming he invented it. So twisted. Anyways, back to regular programming.
  4. At that scale, I'm pretty sure they will include a PVC antenna for rough playing. After all, this is Bandai that we're talking about.
  5. IIRC, I think HG only have rights on the SDF series and its mechas outside Japan. Past that series, like Macross Plus Valks for example, they don't. But please do correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
  6. I don't think there's anyone here insisting there is. What people are doing including me nowadays since EMS and SAL are not available to the US is to check the pricing based on JapanPost's which is widely available and easy to access and guess from there to have an idea on how much more it's going to cost when DHL is used. Like what I'm trying to say earlier it's hard to really guess actual estimate from other shipping method because their computation is different than regular Post Office's. And these shops probably doesn't have the means on how to compute it and post estimate initially until it gets packed. Or simply, maybe DHL just doesn't provide price/rate chart like JapanPost do. So it's really nice to check JapanPost shipping chart once in awhile and compare and do estimate. And panic later if needed. Why do I have a feeling you already know that?
  7. 3 for me as well.
  8. In 1/35 scale that's going to be 'telescopic'. But then I rather see the repair manipulators, sliding out arm sequence and hands at that scale instead. And yes, @spanner. If only. By the way, I'm glad that you were able to get the refund.
  9. I’m pretty sure he only meant he was just basing it from JapanPost’s rate chart since most online shop doesn’t post DHL chart compared to JapanPost where it’s always available to check it online.
  10. If you live in Japan, yes. If you're outside Japan, you need to use Proxy service in order to place an order directly from P-Bandai (TWE). This is how it works. You copy the item's URL link and send that to Proxy service of your choice. They're the ones who's going to order it for you. Hence, you have to pay proxy fees including the shipping cost of the item from the shop to their warehouse plus the shipping fee to send it to you. The other work around is you have to know the Proxy's warehouse address and use that to fill the order form of some exclusive online shop. Or you can just order it directly from shops that sells TWE items such as Nin-Nin-Game, CDJapan, Anime-Export, BigInJapan to name a few. At this point, majority of members here doesn't endorse Nippon-Yasan anymore. We advice members to NOT TO USE NIPPON-YASAN anymore. But if that's your last shop to go to, order at your own risk.
  11. I forgot about this thread. But wait... that's a Robotech collectible. Hehehe. Let's also post here Kids Logic 1/6 Pre-painted Statue of Dana Sterling. Errr... I mean, Jeanna Francaix. And with its beautiful painter for size comparison... Titinun.
  12. Thanks! Though I have to ask @Saburo first if it's ok to mess up his pix. Hahaha! That's going to be tough. We have the Macross Toy Releases thread that wasn't updated since 2017. And it's not helpful anymore. At this point, I don't mind if they give @jenius permission to make edits on it just to keep it recent. After all, this is MacrossWorld. What's the point of that sticky thread if it's not going to be updated? But then, we can just check Jenius' Scorched Earth Toys website for infos or you can just lurk here if anyone is going to drop infos about it. Pardon me. But what's PS5?
  13. I was watching a transformation video of FansToys Astrotrain. And it looks awesome for a triple-changer figure. Today's toy engineering really impresses me even for some third party companies who makes this. And in my head, what are the chances that some third party companies will do Sasuraiger's Batrain figure using today's engineering?
  14. Yeah. That J-20 really looks sweet. Was hoping that it can sit besides my 1/60 scale VF-1's. However, most of the videos I've watched at YouTube really shows how small it is. There's one video that was shown beside a KitzConcept 1/72 VF-1S. The rifle can be mounted under the jet though it's not advisable to do this when the gears are down. It can also be mounted under the wing as shown below. And the arm of the stand can be rotated so you can use it in robot mode. No, I don't think there ever was a 'general thread' for any transforming toy. As for the 52Toys, here's the dedicated thread for it:
  15. I tried to do it last night but the wife said no. She told me to just wait for it to come out and buy it digitally. Same with the Justice League. Who am I to argue, right?
  16. It would be awesome too if they're going to release the SnyderCut within the first 6 months of next year.
  17. @Saburo
  18. My Ninja! Alongside Snake Eyes ofcourse. Though it looks like a static figure. Is it?
  19. Nothing specific actually. I was just bummed out that it wasn't included even just a page or two or something. They should've included it in the last pages of DYRL.
  20. That's one Valk I'm actually looking forward to see in that bible. Oh well. Note II then.
  21. Love the shot as always @Saburo! Someone is hiding.
  22. Got the bible today. It's so thick. How I really wish this should've been a hardbound book. I also noticed that they didn't include VF-4 for some reason? Or I just didn't notice it after I browsed it. Was it a one-pager feature?
