My intent was to warn and get feedback.. but I could see how it sounded negatively to the store as I was in disappointment at the time😑

I bought stuff from Amiami and other Japan-based store using EMS all the time, by the time it arrived in my country the local post office already took over everything including custom and delivery. It's not something to blame the store for

ECMS is quite different from EMS.

If they handed the package to local carrier then I assume the practice is the same. Actually I used DHL once and they're different in a way that they handled everything even local delivery. Maybe that's better option, assuming your local DHL service is not as bad as other local delivery service that is.

Yeah, DHL's service depends on whether they decide your region is worth supporting as an actual service area.  That's why they've been a disaster so many times for me.  I live somewhere "too remote" for them to support fully, so they only send things my way via a third-party carrier hand-off that generally results in a complete loss of tracking and communication regarding my packages.

well, had some Chrsitmas money and it was on Mandarake for 20000, so I snatched it up. Should have it by weeks end  Looks like generally people dig it, and i love the DX 19Adv and YF-19 anyway so Im feeling pretty good about this one

It's a great toy. I personally feel it really captures the look of the Fire Valk.

Yeah it seems like it! 
Im now at the "Checking the tracking twice a day" stage of waiting for toys.

Got my copy from a local shop. Sure It was 300 bucks overall but nobody would have guessed it'd be on deep discount so soon in Japan XD.

I like this one more than the Arcadia. I guess it makes sense since it was designed by the same dude but just interated on again

Still waiting to hear if Bandai is releasing a sound booster soon to take plunge.

If they planed for it there should be visible attachments points for it on the bakc of the Battroid mode.

Can any one that has it confirm? Videos don't help that much.

It arrived and it's awesome. A smidge fiddly, and the default hand cant hold the gunpod very well, but overall shes a great valk. I love he color, I love the general look. Yeah. Cool piece of kit.

That makes me hopeful for the -19F/S!
