How do you make claims for registered SAL? On the website you can only do that for domestic mails....I know I probably won't get anything, but I need to let them see how bad they treated the package!

You can't, actually. USPS will tell you to contact your seller since they're the ones who need to file the claim and not you (the buyer), since they're the ones who paid for the shipping. I have to tell you that it's really a long process and you really need to have long patience too. I mentioned here before that USPS lost my Figuarts Iron Man figure somewhere. They told me that since 2 months have passed since May delivery date, it might have be sent back to the seller or something. But up to now, Nippon-Yasan hasn't informed me if they received the package back yet. However, they already filed a claim for it thru JapanPost. And it's almost past 2 months since their claim filing.

Emailed mandarake.....got the reply, pretty much what's expected: sorry to be you, you're OOL.

Thank you for your service and I have always been satisfied. 
 
I received the following package and unfortunately it's badly damaged. I know it's the fault of the postal office, but I just want to show you the terrible damage, maybe you can consider using more secured packaging in the future. Thank you for your attention.

Hello,

Sorry for hear that your package has arrived with bad condition.

The Packaging was our standard.
For next time, if you want a secured package,
please let us know in a comment section when you make an order.

Regards.
xxxxxxxx

Got an SHF Droid and some RS Gundams:

Did you have any trouble with the forearms falling right out of their sockets when you picked the droid up?  Or the finger joints falling apart?

Man this thread has become a mess to read through with all the photobucket images broken

No issues really. Some parts seem to be made to come off easily but just as easily put back. I think the antenna on the backpack was the main thing that fell off. Not unexpected for such a thin figure with that much articulation though.

And yeah, that Photobucket thing is a CF...I'm still pretty pissed about that.

Finally getting around to a few pics of my most recent arrivals.  Featuring: SHF The Dark Knight (love the cape), Figma Link, GTP Space Walls (omg I need more of these already), tiny Titanium Series BSG ships to go along with my Moebius Galactica (finally got a Colonial One, still looking for a deal on a Raptor), and some SW Ep2 Figuarts (Obi-Wan's blade plopped off the hilt when I was posing it, grr.  And holy hell those droids are touchy with arms and hands falling off)

@enphily Grats on the PG Red Astray!  I loved building mine and it's really well engineered and sturdy.  And it looks awesome with the NX Edge SD version

@Lolicon Glad to hear you're ok!  I'm a Houston resident but luckily had no flooding or damage.  Hoping that any of our members that are in the path of Irma will be ok!  Play it safe and get the heck out of there.  Trust me, being without power, internet, food, gas, working toilets, etc for a week or more is not fun.  Not to mention all the places you take for granted that are open day to day being closed for who knows how long or having limited hours and limited supplies..

The new stuff looks great! It almost makes me want to go and buy some Star Wars SHF toys despite not being a big Star Wars fan. :) But I really like that Galactica! Did you build it yourself?

Glad you're alright too. No flooding or and real damage where I live, though I did have to live at the hospital for a few days straight during the week of Harvey. The worst part of Harvey was sleeping on a stretcher and having to eat hospital food. :lol:

On that note, UPS finally delivered my Mark 46 after a 12 day delay! The Bandai Iron Man figures are usually pretty solid, but their Mark 46 was a floppy mess that looked all wrong, so I'm glad to finally have a proper version of it! B))

Yup! 

Delta was so bad that I think putting in some lightsabers would have made the show better. It couldn't get any worse. ^_^

'Lightsabers'? Do you want them to get sued by LucasFilms? ^_^

This is not Figuarts? So which version of Mark 46 is this?

Sorry. I meant beam sabers! :lol:

Ha! You must've been replying when I updated the pics after I got all the lights working (there's a lot of batteries!). It's the Hot Toys version. I'm usually good with the Figuarts versions, but the SHF Mark 46 was such a letdown that I got the big boy version. ;)

Beam Sabers? :blink: Man, now you want to have trouble with Yoshiyuki Tomino. :lol:

So it was the Hot Toys version. You know what, I would really love to have all the armors in Hot Toys but it's so damn expensive now. Imagine the first Hot Toys Iron Man figure that I bought from them which is Mark 6, it wasn't even $200 for the item itself and now they kind of re-releasing it with diecast content. So I ended up with Figuarts. Smaller and cheaper. ^_^

This arrived today! AUTOart Mad Max Falcon XB Interceptor.

Isn't that just the newly released AutoArt Falcon Interceptor? Not the Mad Max version? I have the older AutoArt Mad Max Interceptor with the dog and the extra dirt and mud paint apps, that looks quite a bit different from this.

Technically yes but it's still the Mad Max 1 movie car without the MFP markings.. AUTOart just wasn't able to market it as the MadMax interceptor due to rights issues. So I believe.

Still it is the actual car.
