    Don't know what it would take for bandai or anyone for that matter to look into the manga line...unless perhaps if a KO did it first!

    You forgot to mention what country so I just used USA as a basis using Nippon-Yasan's Shipping Calculator:

    Don't use NY's shipping calculator, they overcharge considerably compared to the actual postal services/companies.

    It's true that they overcharge. But using their shipping calculator gives the customers a good idea on how much they need to pay depending on which shipping method they choose.

     

    Seeing that the EMS in that NY calculator shows Y4500, it's safe to assume that the weight of the said item is 2kg. And I verified the same info via JapanPost's website: https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/charge/list/ems2_en.html

    Using JapanPost website for a 2kg package bound to North America:

    EMS: Y4500 - https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/charge/list/ems2_en.html

    Economy SAL: Y3850 - https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/charge/list/parcel3_en.html#

    Airmail: Y5050 - https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/charge/list/parcel3_en.html# 

     

    I cross-checked the same weight en-route to America with AmiAmi: https://www.amiami.com/eng/payment-shipping/

    EMS: Y4500

    SAL Parcel: Y3850

     

    I also checked CDJapan's Shipping Calculator to America with the recent Arcadia's 1/60 VF-1J Max since they might share the same weight and dimension box for the VE-1 just to have a sense on how the shipping costs differs from other online stores: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-249730?s_ssid=e47f765c4a8ca1b507

    EMS: Y5200

    Economoy SAL: Y6500

    Dewpoint posted the CDJapan's link for the VE-1 on the next page so here's the price using its Shipping Calculator: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-320836

    EMS: Y4100

    Economy SAL: Y5010

     

    Seeing the cost above for the Economy SAL, Nippon-Yasan 'sand AmiAmi's price is more in-line with JapanPost's SAL pricing. Since the shipping cost varies from one store to another, there's no guarantee what's the exact amount until this shops email us for additional fees and whatnot. But they do help the customers to decide which shipping method to use. And at the end of the day even if Nippon-Yasan do overcharge, if anyone decided on preordering it from them, then we are basically bound to pay whatever the shipping cost they showed us on that calculator.

    Hope that helps. ^_^ 

     

    Edit: I want to add that based on member's post here regarding Amazon's shipping cost, I think ordering from them is the practical choice at Y1200 using DHL. However, do note that we don't have any feedback yet on how's their customer service for broken parts, missing parts, or with dented box. So take it with a grain of salt.

    2nd Edit: Since Dewpoint posted the CDJapan link for the VE-1, I checked its Shipping Calculator to US and added the cost above.

    Wow, everyone is so helpful on here! 
    Yes I did receive my Order Confirmation from Amazon. and No, I have not received any cancelation. 

    The link that I preordered from is : 

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GYS2879?ref=em_1p_0_ti&ref_=pe_2409890_229390510

    Hopefully everything goes right and I receive it in April 

    Nice. Atleast you can check every now and then your Order Status for updates. Glad that you score one before it became 'Current Unavailable'. ;)

    If you don't mind my asking how much was it posted in the US Amazon site since it's not showing the price now?

    I was able to put in a preorder a week ago for the Metal Build Eva01 on Amazon. (shipping out 4.12 for some reason)

    I just checked the Amazon listing today and it states " Current Unavailable". Does that mean that this release is canceled? Or just that the Preorder is all full?

     

    I just want to make sure that I'll get my order come April. Any insights is much appreciated! 

    Not sure if Bandai did a second preorder for April release since the first PO is for the February one. As for the question if it gets canceled, did Amazon emailed you for your order confirmation? And when it went to current unavailable, did they sent you order canceled email afterwards? If not, then I think your order is good. Just make sure that you did indeed get an Amazon Order Confirmation Email for your order. Also, it would be nice to see that Amazon link you ordered it from so we can check what it says there since most members here now posts both Japan and US Amazon links.

    Thanks and welcome to MacrossWorld. ;)

    Funny, that I was trying to find last night the top right VF-31E pose where it was shown in Episode 6 wearing its Super Pack. And ask everyone if they will going to pose it like that until the actual VF-31E Super Pack gets available. ^_^

    And then I did something else so I forgot that I was looking for it. :lol:

    I like the look of those more than Max/Milia's VF-1Js.

    Same here. As a Valkyrie couple, I prefer this design compared to M&M's. :rolleyes:

    I'd want them in 1/60 (or the Delta equivalent of 1/60 since they're technically non-scale).

    Same here too since I really need to stop the 1/48 size with just Hikaru Valks. ^_^

    You show me a scene from the DYRL movie that shows the VE-1 in Gerwalk mode, then I might consider it.

    Three of the four configurations you listed also did not appear in DYRL.

    Mommar got you there, Shizuka-chan. ^_^

    This is great news! B))

    Now not to jump the gun but does that mean that a VT-1 might be coming as well....? 

    I have a feeling that would be the case since Arcadia's reissuing the expensive VF-1 Valks in secondary market. ;)
