I did joke to my families about having to do all the screw covers and greeblies, but then I also dropped a couple on the floor and ended up scrambling around looking for what I dropped, which is 100% my fault.

Yes, it is. I don't see it as "small" either. Did he get the Wave version instead of Arcadia?
-
BBTS's come by ship so they tend to take a few months more than anyone who gets direct from Japan. That's the price for $4 shipping.

Looks like panel-lined versus not?

Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
vladykins replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yep- I don't think everyone understands how tariffs work and who pays them. Given I have all the destroids coming from KC, I'm not in a rush for them to send them while the tariffs are around. I'm already paying/paid on the SDF01 and a legios, so I'll be happy to not pay any more. Killing the de minimis exception is a real pain. -

With my SDF-1, DHL hit me with the tariff. The tariff is the responsibility of the importer, not the retailer/shipper. Since we're the importers, we'll be responsible for paying it, not KC. -
Here's some quick bridge shots:

I'll try to get some picts in a bit- work got busy so I couldn't open it yet.
-
Mine just made it!

Just got hit with an additional $27.34 import duties on top of the DHL shipping above. DHL sent the invoice. OTOH, I get it Monday.
-
AE put DHL up for 16100 yen.

Waiting for my shipping quote. Not looking forward to it.

Was also in the Amazon cancelled my legios group, but I was able to find another one on ebay quickly for around retail. Shipping is $45 but that isn't bad with the de minimis tariff relief gone.

Wasn't sure bets place to put this but since I know a lot of folks ship UPS, this is definitely concerning. tl;dr: The de minimis exception going away has lead to a backlog of customs clearing at UPS. About 10% of items shipping don't have enough information and if shipper doesn't get back to them, they have been destroying items. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/ups-delay-customs-tariffs-packages-destroyed-rcna236607

Sir, this is a Wendys! They released a 1/60 Chogokin of the VF-19 Fire and the HMR VF-19P, but I don't think they have news of a Chogokin 19P yet.
-
We'll see- they still have the order up for being delivered mid-Oct.
-
I guess my Tread snuck in before they started doing that. Glad I got my second Legioss coming from Amazon US where I prepaid.
-
Weirdly, they are pretty efficient for me, but that may just be the amount of foreign-based items flowing into the DC area. Recent DHL for me was about $35 when I got the Sentinel Tread- no big tariff bump.
-
I thought that KC had demo prototypes at a previous event, but when I went searching it looks like they had them for the Tomahawk, Defender, and Phalanx but not the Spartan. Here's a photo where you can see the three. Guessing you all are right and they still haven't prepped one yet.
-
I thought it was priced crazy, so then I checked sold auctions and saw this:
-
of course, many of us also have multiples of those things now too!
-
Yes, the connection port is the same but the rest is very different. Here's a quick pict (on a rainy day, so sorry for the phone shadow).

Posted up the sell link with your affiliate code to the RT facebook group, so hopefully you are getting good clicks from there.

Done!

After all these years, "thick underside kibble" describes me. I'm in for this price.
