  1. The place that I think you should all pre-order from is ibuyxyz.com I have bought lots of stuff from them and they always seem to have to lowest overall cost.

    http://www.ibuyxyz.com/items/toys/action-f...0067-detail.htm

    their pre-order is $190 + shipping I've got mine on pre-order howz bout the rest of ya?

    They are based out of HK where you'll need to add $30-50 to ship to you....That's comparing apples to oranges....

    BTW - You can tell they have alot more product knowledge about Macross.... :p

  2. One thing to keep in mind is that many Japanese fans can buy from a retailer who can buy directly from Yamato. U.S dealers have to buy through a secondary distributor who adds on their markup after receiving their wholesale discount from Yamato. U.S dealers don't truly get the same discount as a dealer in Japan.

    Then the U.S dealer adds on air shipping, import taxes, business overhead, etc and their 'profit' to get their asking price. Hence, a much higher price of a Valkyrie stateside. Air shipping is what kills the price for buying a Valkyrie stateside. A dealer can opt to ship via ocean liner but that's a 3-4 week delay and you really need to order a large volume to make it work.

  3. Hi folks,

    I have confirmed these two Anniversary Valkryies will arrive in late January. In case anyone is interested, I still have a few pieces. Price is as follows:

    1/48 VF-1S $140

    1/60 YF-19 $180

    1/48 & 1/60 Set: $310

    FEDEX Insured Ground Shipping (U.S) will be around $9-$18 depending on your order qty and location from S. Cal origination. International will be extra. I accept PayPal (+4%), checks/money orders, or Western Union. Full payment IS DUE IMMEDIATELY TO SECURE the figure(s). Please PM to purchase. :lol:

  4. W :lol: W, that's why you're the best at what you do.

    Any news on the SV-51a CF?

    I won't be able to secure any SV-51a CFs at this time. I missed the window to preorder. I might be able to pick these up when they are out but it is TBD.

    The new preorder price on the YF-21 is a gamble I am taking. I'm banking on volume sales so I have made a committment to my supplier with a order quantity that is higher than normal. Preorder away guys! You can't find a price stateside this low!!!! :lol:

  5. Hi all,

    It's time for the next offering....the 1/60 scale Yamato YF-21 Valkyrie $205 $195.00. Figure is 1/60 scale and transforms into battloid, gerwalk, and fighter!

    THE PRICE DOES NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING. INSURED U.S GROUND shipping will be around $9-13 for shipping of one figure. Please PM me to figure out international shipipng rates. The items will be released in April but I won't be have them in hand until 3-4 weeks AFTER RELEASE. These will be NMIB, Case Fresh condition.

    NO DEPOSITS REQUIRED as I will proceed with the honor system to preorder. As always, if you are not certain about ordering, please do not order.

    I will accept PayPal (+4%), checks/money orders, or Western Union. Full payment for the item IS DUE at the end of March 2008 UNLESS the release date is changed by Yamato. Please PM with your name, address, and phone number to get on the preorder list. I am ordering limited quantities so please confirm ASAP. Once I am sold out, that is it....

    regards

  6. Thanks for the help guys. I did use USPS Express mail so I have tracking info, and I did mark for the item to be returned if undeliverable. But, I'm just afraid that the guy could get his money back from PayPal by saying that he hasn't received the item, then running down to the customs office and picking up the package. (I'm probably being paranoid with that thought, but I just don't see why he hasn't already picked up the item since it has been in customs since Nov. 7.)

    I didn't put the buyer's phone number on the packing slip. I never had his phone number, but his address is on it. Wouldn't customs just send him a notice in the mail that he has an item waiting for him?

    Valk009, thanks for the advice about Ryuji, I'll PM him.

    If the package was undeliverable, then it takes like 4-6 weeks to have it returned to the sender. From my own experieces, I didn't get a notification that it is being returned. In any case, it's a waiting game to find out what happened. Putting a trace on the package takes about the same time. Just complete the form at your local post office.

  7. Are there any members in Brazil who could help me out with a little information about the customs system in that country?

    I sold an item through Ebay to someone in Brazil, and now there has been some difficulty. The item has been sitting in customs since Nov. 7 and the buyer has complained that he hasn't recived it yet. :(

    I'm really just looking for information on what to expect from customs in Brazil or if there is anything more I can do to get the item to the buyer.

    Thanks in advance for any help! :)

    What method of shipping did you use? If you used USPS Express Mail - When you shipped the package, did you specify 'return to sender' in the customs form???
