  1. I can't wait for Godzilla Minus Negative One.
  2. That's interesting, if you replaced DHL with UPS you would have summed up my problems where I live.
  3. HLJ is weird. DHL does not have a handling fee that high. I've shipped by them from other stores and have had to pay upon receipt and it's $7.
  4. I assume you aren't in a position to just ask them to leave the package? DHL works well for me, but I have the benefit of living on a cul-de-sac set back in a difficult to navigate neighborhood with a large, imposing fence so anything left is well hidden and the location does not accommodate an easy getaway. ...I do also pay $50k a year for someone to watch my disabled Mother so there's little time when a package would be left alone as well.
  5. That is not true, the whole handle slides backwards (or the body slides foward depending how you look at it) in addition to the handle pivoting out. You should be able to get the gunpod to point directly forward.
  6. Mini-Review. It's largely a Yamcadia VF-19. It has several of the upgrade/gimmicks you'd expect from Bandai and it also has missing/worse features because Bandai can never just do something correct the first time. For instance, upgraded ankles have better range/articulation, but not as much as the YF-19. However, for some reason the joint at the intake doesn't have the same range of motion as the YF-19. It has the more limited range of the Yamcadia. So it poses slightly better in Gerwalk than the previous VF-19... but only slightly so, and the older Bandai YF-19 poses infinitely better. It's also a hell of a lot more finicky than the Yamcadia. The whole section behind the cockpit is a bitch to keep together. And the gunpod extension mechanic is a good idea executed poorly.
  7. Without thinking I cancelled my order at Amazon Japan, though I think I had to pay up front. At any rate, it shipped via DHL and they credited me the difference in the lower price. However, I was not charged shipping nor was I charged for tariffs.
  8. The processing fee is $7. Those shops are marking it way up to screw you.
  9. Where did you manage to get it that cheap? $215 is like a normal price.
  10. The 30% charge is not an upcharge, that is supposed to be based on country of manufacture, which is China, and that is 30%. It's just that other places are cool and marking it Japan instead. But the base price they're charging for DHL/FedEx, etc.. they absolutely are marking up now. I had an Andrew Garfield Spider-Man Mafex figure that was the first thing to ship once HLJ would ship to the use again and the base DHL price was the same as it always was for years (2300 yen), just with the 15% (for some reason on that item) and the small processing fee. The next week it was suddenly 4800 yen for the base price and when I asked about the change I was chewed out and they refused to respond afterward.
  11. I haven't touched a Mezco in years but I might actually pre-order that Casey.
