First yf-19 1/60 from yamato. for 10k yen

 

https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1058142838&ref=list

at 10k would be the absolute limit I'd ever pay for one and it would have to be mint or seen minimal use and it'd still need some consideration.. gee there have been a few other go for cheaper which is more like it. I don't think these things were ever as explody bad as the orignal VF-0 toys but there would still be some risk buying such an old used toy.

Mandarake performing witch hunt for those who have cancelled orders before (I had three).

The thing is some of the locations don't email you when they confirmed to have the item you ordered. I had an order cancelled because they didn't email me. The only reason i noticed is when i was looking under my order in my account i saw the order there. Since then i always check the my orders link on my account if i don't get an email after 3 days. I've emailed them many times about this issue but they never respond.

Anyone who is still looking or waiting for VF-25G to go down a little bit. Here's two from Mandarake. Both are Y28000.

The first link had the shipping cost posted. Used that for estimation for the second link.

SAL - Y3850
EMS - Y3700
DHL - Y4600

Good luck!

Did something happen at Mandarake?  They are charging me 9700 yen to ship a 1/48 super/strike armor set which was selling for 8000 yen. 

holy crap! that's steep! I've used Manda heaps of times and never experienced that ratio of postage cost rip off! what postage method did you request?

That has to be a mistake. 1/48 Super & Strike Parts are only 1055g and small enough for SAL Small Packet. 

Send them an email.

DHL 9700 yen

EMS 5200 yen

I've had much much larger and heavier boxes delivered by HLJ via Fedex and arrive within 5 days for half that price.

That means their packaging is 1500g which is excessive. I've had 1/48 valks shipped via SAL Registered for 2500 yen.

I responded with requesting other shipping options.  Sure, the set was only 8000yen but with those inflated shipping costs, I'd be better off buying off ebay.

Check yahoo closed auctions. These have been selling for 5500-7000 yen. I almost bought another set a handful of times but I already have a bunch.

you should contact them to recheck the weight and packaging.

here' is a real time quote from their warehouse store for a 1/48 super/ strike armor.

Condition Unopened with some box damage

Size 366mm x 298mm x 106mm / 1031g

 

Shipping

SAL Small Packet Not available

SAL postal parcel 3850yen

EMS 4100yen

DHL 4600yen

 

Normal store does use more packaging, so it'll probably be 400 yen more or so.  so for EMS it should be around 4500 yen

1/48 VF-1A (Hikaru Ver) - 12960yen

An OK price... I feel like maybe it's about 2000 yen above what they go for on yahoo auctions...?

Just haven't seen too many on Mandarake is all. Anywho, here's the link for those who are keen:

I received my 1/48 Super/Strike parts from Mandarake today.  I'll never order from the Umeda store again.  It was over 19 inches long. 

Sorry to hear that. Was it packed securely? And did you pay more for shipping? Or custom charged you?

I never had problems buying from Umeda. Esp for all the Metal Build figures that I bought from them. They quick to reply to my inquiries and sending photos when I request it.

5200 yen.  No extra fees or taxes from customs.  This was shipped to Michigan.

It was very well packed.  They could have easily fit in a couple dozen eggs in there and it all would have arrived intact.
