Tking22 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I got the request for additional shipping as well, I just paid it. One Roy 1S from NY, EMS to the US, they needed another $10, which isn't much, but WTF? I'm not just made out of $10 frakking dollars. I placed and paid for my order months ago, I believe the same day it went up, if I don't get that stupid little stand I'm gonna be pissed.

Lolicon Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Got the same email and an invoice for $11 for ems shipping. Nuts to that. Asked them to change to SAL shipping. Already too expensive as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie23 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 That is odd. I paid my Roys off awhile ago from NY. I just got a processing email the other day and a shipping email today. No requests for additional payment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Maybe there was a span of time where they just had the wrong price on their site? Maybe everyone who isn't getting the invoice didn't order during the window when the shipping price was wrong? Or maybe it depends on which side of whatever country you're in.

F360 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Here's the pricing from japan post. VF-1S with packaging /shipping box should be just under 1200g Pricing for EMS is 2800yen The weight can go all the way to 1500g and the price will still be 2800yen Weight 1501g to 1750g = 3600 yen Weight 1751g and over = 4000 yen So they definitely should have about 300gram to play with at the 2800 yen price. But then this is N-Y so they would like to get you on shipping too. They probably shipped a bunch out and notice what they are charging and what they are paying to japan post is too close for profit. placing all their unshipped VF-1S on hold, emailing extra weight invoices , waiting for suppose planned profit.

Lolicon Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 They said I could change to SAL then promptly sent me an invoice for 480 yen. WTF? Even SAL shipping is now higher than the previous EMS price? That's such BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calubin_175 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 No VF-1J Max, just the sand brown fodder version due for September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) No VF-1J Max, just the sand brown fodder version due for September. I thought the previous page had a VF-1J Max with a placard that said "September" on it? I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's a TV version of Focker in the future given his popularity and the DYRL box art.

Sandman Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I have 2 on order. I got notice one had shipped at 10pm tonight. The other is still being prepared which is strange since I ordered them at the same time. Looking at the order page I see they shipped the sal one. The other is ems. I'm guessing they're going to try to get me with the extra charge otherwise I don't see why they are waiting on second vf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbadon Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Yup seems to be the VF-1A according to Tamashii Website. http://tamashii.jp/special/pickup/201609fsvf/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calubin_175 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) So no super pack and about 1000 yen cheaper than the Strike Valkyrie? Maybe super pack as web exclusive. Looks like they will keep the package small and encourage army building. Edited April 20, 2016 by calubin_175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Cf tv 1a non super. I don't think that was even on the list. The 1a I was hoping for was the super pack from the movie teased a while ago. Maybe the Max with the September release tag is a web exclusive, or maybe we will be getting more than one a month since the Max has the super pack and the 1a is just a small release. I looked at the picture a bit closer and it has the movie pilot and square hands, so why no super pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hmmm...no FPs... Too bad the the original FPs don't match the HMR FPs, or I'd have a few of these covered Is Roy's VF-1S really darker than Hikaru's??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koonfasa Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) That'll be nice. I'd like to get all three modes with the same variant but just can't seem to do it with the armoured one...

Lolicon Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Just watched episode 3. Was wondering where that picture was from. Guess Bandai can now release a DX VF-1EX. I'm very curious to see how it'll compare to the Yamato VF-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Thinking about it, I'm not as excited for a 1A CF in this scale as I would be to get a Max (anything). I'm going to sit this one out and wait for the next HM-R announcement. And it will be cool if Max turns out to be an exclusive. Hopefully N-Y will be able to estimate the shipping costs accurately for everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koonfasa Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Yeah red and blue would be nice too. I was just thinking, is that a spoiler? Edited April 20, 2016 by koonfasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
