    Cool! Looking forward to that. But if you do, are you going to use the new 'grilled' base mat? I somehow still like this reflection. And if it's not too much to ask since you're going to use their Winter Gloves, do a shot with all of them together in their 'signature' Battroid pose:

    True. I'm ignoring some items for preorder. I just ignored MB Mazinger Z. Imagine next year's April...

    Curious. How many did you order?

    Ouch. It really hurts seeing how much those two going on back in the day when I haven't started collecting again. I paid $250 for Ley and $280 for Stick back in 2014-15(?). Actually, I'm thinking of selling some doubles as of this moment. And rethinking if I really need two of these knowing that they will put out Ley's soon.

    Well, TBH, we've only seen Stick's on this variant since this is more of Aramaki's reimagining of the Ride Armor. And the other one is Ley. And because those two artworks exist in the Mospeada Book. We're not sure yet if they will make Fuke's or Yellow's in this format. Hope they do. If not, hope they do the anime version one if they're planning on completing it. If you're unsure, you can just sell it down the line.

    Former Yamato. If you want to read Mr.K's blog post on why the price increases, here's some existing threads: http://www.macrossworld.com/why-are-arcadia-products-so-expensive-by-mr-k/

    You're welcome sir! Glad to be of help. I used BBTS before with my Hot Toys stuff. And what I like with them is they offer great customer service. You will know that you will be taken good care of since they're US-based. And they send replacement if your item is broken or missing some items. Hence, the premium price they offer. As with HLJ, they're the next best thing when it comes to customer service. Another piece of advice that I forgot to include on my response earlier is that, I know the shipping cost really adds up to our spending esp if you're just on the right budget. But consider that when you buy something expensive, make sure you use the best method out there that covers insurance too if anything should happen in-transit. EMS covers atleast Y20000. So if you bought something more than that, you're Y20000 covered. However, Nippon-Yasan claimed on their FAQ that you'll get the same total of the purchased item. Which I think it's better. But so you know, I still haven't received my Y6000 compensation for lost Registered SAL package from them. And that's almost 3 months now. In the end, buying something outside the US is always a gamble. And it's why I always preach to be patience all the time.

    Nippon-Yasan has a virtual shipping calculator on the right side when you add the item in the cart. The shipping price you see here is the Registered SAL. So you need to click the Calculator button to check how much shipping is going to cost. On CDJapan, under the Add to Cart button, there's a shipping charge calculator too. And if you try to add the items in the cart, you can still check an shipping estimate if you view the cart. Just a piece of advice. These prices are not accurate since they don't know what's the actual size of the packages. So it's all estimating. With Nippon-Yasan, don't ever think that after you select the shipping method once you place the preorder they will lower the price down the road if the shipping is lower since it's higher when they estimate it. They're not gonna do that and they never will. However, Nippon-Yasan tends to ask from time to time additional shipping cost if the package is bigger than they anticipate it. That's why with HLJ, you don't see the shipping cost since they don't know how big or small the package is. But once the item is available, they will include how much the shipping cost will be since it's already been measured by them. Like what I posted a few post, CDJapan estimate the shipping around Y2900. Whereas Nippon-Yasan estimate it at Y4500. These are both EMS Shipping going to USA. CDJapan listed the item for Y19000. While Nippon-Yasan listed for Y17980. Now knowing whose between these shops has a great customer service is a whole different story. Hope that helps.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    no3Ljm replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    What's funny too is that HLJ does not carry Tamashii Web Exclusive items. Why wait for a thousand years in the sand when you can sell them now at MSRP. I haven't done any fixing on mine but I kind of figure out what's causing it. Try on removing the crotch panel under the cockpit and you can see that you can close the gap behind the cockpit. It's the placement of the locking tabs behind the crotch panel that's causing it. I think it was placed too high somehow. The only fix I can think of is you need to cut some portion of the tab to align it properly, making the gap smaller. But I wouldn't recommend it since by doing that the crotch panel might become loose in fighter mode. And it might have a small gap since the panel will move a little farther away from the cockpit area. I hear yah. Price nowadays is really an issue. Sometimes it's hard to keep up.

    I used to have Stick and Ley's kit back then as same as above line. They were 'perfect' Ride Armors back then. I was checking if I should switch to NY but when I checked the shipping they already charging Y4500 for EMS. While in CDJapan, it's Y2900. I'm assuming the box of this will be big as the VF-1's box.
  12. no3Ljm
    Knowing that it says it's Web Shop exclusive, I'm not sure if Nippon-Yasan will carry it. Promaxis were Web Shop exclusive too and NY didn't carry it for some reasons. I know I want one, but I'm at that point that I have to rethink all the figures that I need since a lot is coming out and getting announced for next year so I have to make sure I'm not overspending out of impulse buying.

    Hey guys! Oh so true and I agree. My wallet's been complaining as we speak. Not to mention upcoming PO's too. On the bright side, owning these three is already an achievement for me since I didn't own any of those Takatoku figures ever since. Anyways, these three variants is enough for me... for now. But if they announce Nikick... I'm IN!

    AmiAmi is closed now for both Strike Freedom and Mazinger Z. HLJ is still open for both.
  15. no3Ljm
    Got one at HLJ! I was watching for the one on AmiAmi. And when I refreshed HLJ, it's there too. So I continued my order with HLJ. HLJ's cheaper than Ami. Good night guys!

    Yum!

    Gorgeous! Though I noticed that the step 'clutch' lever kind of further back. Compared to where the Beagle's are.
  22. no3Ljm
    And the Metal Damashii Strike Freedom too. You're going to get one too, F360?
  23. no3Ljm
    For the Mazinger Z? It's ok. I just don't want to start another line. I'm on the journey of 'streamlining' the purchases.
  24. no3Ljm
    Oh man... Another 'PNE' item announced. But I'm still hype about this since it's Velbine. Now the trio from Tales of Neo-Byston Wells will be complete.
