Wonder Woman, in theaters Summer 2017
Mommar replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Kinda funny the only theme from any modern superhero anybody praises was written by a former electronic producer. To be honest I wasn't impressed with WW's Theme either, really. -
I'd have preferred Marvel vs Capcom. I don't play or like Monster Hunter.
-
Well, NY says they'll contact UPS. So maybe things will work out... no idea when they'll get around to it considering they're closed all weekend. Plus Holiday for us in US on Monday.
-
I'm betting on unique. But if it ever comes up with anyone else again at least there's a record how to handle it.
-
NY marked it as F/C, which is the International version of Bill Receiver (after charging me an extra $10 for shipping anyway...) Yeah, it gets better. I can't just show the UPS facility my invoice so they know I paid. They say NY has to send a release code that tells UPS they're actually paying the shipping or else I HAVE to pay the $203 and then attempt to get paid back from NY (what are the chances of that.) I'm assuming I'm about to have an Ami-Ami moment where NY is no longer a valid option for purchasing for me.
-
I don't know. I contacted NY about it. We'll see if they respond. The problem is right now the package is being held in town at a location that I have no chance of accessing currently.
-
Thank you, however I talked to somebody competent at UPS this time and she said that NY marked me down as Freight Collect, so after paying for shipping they marked the package as me paying for the shipping upon receipt. And for some reason the shipping is a whopping $180. So it's NY's frakk up.
-
If somebody frakks up the paperwork, but otherwise it shouldn't ever happen. This is the second time I've had to deal with it. One other time HLJ didn't use the right code on one of my shipments and FedEx sent me an invoice that I was easily able to call and dispute. UPS is holding my package hostage and employs the stupidest people on the planet.
-
The problem is NY switched from using FedEx to UPS. UPS and the local postal service here are a bunch of frakk ups. Besides, the idiot on the phone told me NY valued the super parts at $18. Just what kind of frakking duty charges you $200+ on an $18 part?
-
It gets better, I called UPS and the moron on the line told me that NY marked the shipment down as not covering any fees and that toys in the US are always charged duties and if I wanted the package I HAD to pay the additional $200+. And the only reason I never paid it before is because the shipper always elected to. When I explained to the dumb beaver that no company could ever stay in business paying almost three times the amount for an item purchased without charging me the difference she just kept repeating, "that's customs." I told her toys don't have a penalty and she claimed that everything but printed documents do. Does anybody happen to know the US Import code so I can tell UPS where to shove it?
-
Oh, mother effers. Because of the perceived false import charge UPS will not drop off my package at the designated point. It's like they're holding it hostage.
-
NY claims the contents of the package were not mislabelled and that it's a clerical error on the part of customs/UPS which I have to deal with. Yay.
-
I suppose the thing about him that was so special was the fact he could be massively hammy but still come off as suave. Most people who try to pull off Schlock come off like Austin Powers but Roger Moore always had a class and dignity about it.
-
Just the one set. NY really f**ked up this time.
-
Sweet, Nippon-Yasan must have marked the wrong contents for my super parts. UPS just e-mailed me claiming I owe $203.04 in duty fees.
-
Unless Bandai has already made a bad version of something once before or another company has already done it once or twice and worked out the quirks Bandai can never get their first Macross outing correct.
-
Where did those proper red tipped reaction missiles come from?
-
Yeah, we already know he was the Science Officer and second in command under Captain Pike for two full five year missions prior to Kirk taking over and there was another Captain of the Enterprise prior to Captain Pike. Not that Spock was necessarily on The Enterprise prior to that but it's pretty clear he was already well established having a Star Fleet Career long before he ever served with Kirk. As a matter if fact I believe Spock was given his post under Pike specifically because he was so well regarded from his previous roles.

Dammit, it's Michael Giacchino. I hate his scores. -
That sucks. My MK VI is the first Figuarts figure I've ever had a major flaw on.

Tony straight up takes the suit away in the film. There's enough in all of the trailers to figure that out. The friend is based off of Miles Morales friend Ganke in the Ultimate Comics. The hoodie isn't a late addition either, it's clearly there in the Civil War footage. -

He's referring to the fact that if you inverted the colors it would be Peter's clone, Ben Reilly, from the Clone saga in the 90's. However, that wasn't what killed Marvel, that was only a small part of what did them in. It's an homage, that's all. -
Damn, that looks great! I had a tinge of pain pre-ordering this simply because I don't need something else to collect but I'm happy I jumped on it now. But now I'm thinking SHF can't get away with plastic capes anymore.
-
I had UPS.

Looks like they updated it to be suicide. He hung himself.
