I just couldn't resist the sale at HLJ last time for Y24500 from initial Y32000+ that I paid from the first release. Since this is a niche product, I decided to get two for backup if ever I break the first one. Hehehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F360 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 This is one of my bigger HLJ shipments, due to the previous sales adding up to 60 days. They really PACKED in there, I used EMS this time to save 1000 yen , but I'll probably go back to using FEDEX next time since they normally used a wider box, which is better for the items inside. big but narrow box, the corners, sigh... someone is very good at 3d tetris I got 2 air bubbles. take some out, and look, almost all the space is used The Macross stuff The Chogokin robot stuff, yes, that girl is a Alloy/chogokin and not a figma Gundams, , figma ,revoltech and lots of robots HLJ was able to provide EMS shipping on all these items for 10820. (that's actually a very good price for the weight and size) But some of the boxes corners like vf-1s box is not looking too good. I would've prefer they use a wider style box like what they normally do. This is more of a unboxing of the shipping box, huh? kinda? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing that most of the items there are expensive, you should've break it into 3-4 packages just to maximize your insurance coverage. I'm sure I'm going to be in panic mode if something happened to them while in transit since everything is fitted in Tetris style. Hehehe. But still, that's one pile of loot you have there.

But still, that's one pile of loot you have there. yeah, the price was too good, I ended up buying another one. HLJ credit is just as good as cash for me. Yup, with it packed like that , a big drop or kick, or a box corner falling on it , would definitely damage the item on the other side. I play around with the shipping and prices and if I were to ship it out in 2 boxes, it would be about 3000 yen more. I normally save on shipping whenever possible, the money I saved over the years is suppose to be my own backup coverage if needed. I do lots of sal small packet registers, then EMS, then FEDEX, or DHL. But I do plan according depending on seasons, Christmas, new years, etc. I try not to ship things around those times. or if I do, I would set certain restrictions like, need to get extra insurance, ship all those separately, ship it before or after. Pay ems so I won't be stuck in their blacklog carts for 1 month around christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Great haul! I sometimes spend hours messing with shipping options to get the lowest price. Usually, I find using multiple, smaller boxes is cheaper than one big box. It just depends but I think the most I ever spent on a single box was around 70,000 yen.

anubis20 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Thats what i hate about HLJ, they ship $1000 plus of toys with no padding or anything. How do they expect a box to travel halfway around the world and not get damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious on this line of figures. Does the shiny chrome finish somehow deminish over time? Just like some old 70's toy that all the chrome looking parts worn out and shows the actual plastic underneath. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's is some other boxes on the other side of the room that do have a PF VF-1s roy along with other things but it wasn't part of this big HLJ shipment. or are you saying the PF vf-1s wasn't from the HLJ box. and that it won't fit.

The series is awesome and it was a big deal here in south america in tbe 90s before dragon ball came. The line its pretty big and most of time its sold out. You should watch it again then. Today i read netflix its doing a cgi remake of the first arc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
