But if you somehow over slept and missed the HLJ preorder, there's always Amiami , they are starting their preorder at 17:00 Jst , so theres another chance,. I think its the price factor plus the podka dot shield that deters many from getting it. Good for us though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjr Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Pre-ordering a general release MB is overrated. There's loads of MB Justice available on sites like Rakuma, PayPay, etc. all selling for 30k yen. My proxies 10% off coupon brings that price down to 27k. The Hi-Nu won't be any different. Japanese shopping sites will be flooded with them come July. Save yourself the trouble and just proxy one after release.

But then, I'm only specific on my Metal Build purchases. Kira's, Setsuna's, and Amuro's. In which this is the first Amuro unit. So the only thing I want after the Hi-Nu is Nu. I'll consider the RX-78-2 if they're going to make one since the previous RX-78 is under Chogokin. If ever they're going to make an MB RX-78 down the line and it will look better than the Chogokin one, I'll bit that. If not, the Chogokin looks fine for me for the time being, style-wise.

Sanity is Optional Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Luna Park has worked OK for me so far, everything came in undamaged. They're definitely not my first choice though, plenty of other shops that I don't need to email to make sure my stuff gets shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm thinking if I should move my order to BBTS and cancel the other from Japan online stores. September to them that means thru boat. I don't mind the wait nor paying the downpayment as long that it's guaranteed that we can have it by then and not something that has a chance of cancellation. Not sure too if they already cancelled something that has a downpayment required before. And for the $60, you guys think that's how much to cost to ship this in the US from Japan via DHL? How much we're paying now for DX to US via DHL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think BBTS would cancel with an NRD. I haven't had a problem with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's basically $340-360 total shipped from Japan against BBTS' $360 + $4 + CA Tax. Guess, I'll keep my Japan order then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTS is behind the curve like P Bandai. So after it drops you’ll get a shipping notification in 6-8 weeks. I normally try to save BBTS as a last resort for that reason . They will deliver though, I’ve never had any issues with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I always use BBTS for other stuff. Though I haven't tried them for bigger purchases esp on sought-after Bandai stuff. I was just trying on weighing my option on where I can save more knowing that this specific MB release costs too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
