  1. Please understand that FJ is just a proxy and all they do is just be a middle man between a random person in Japan and you. Please double check the description and Photo. Sometimes it put a very vague disclaimer that kind of protect them. If ever there are intentional wrong description, FJ will help you if you use the Buyer protection plan. I did a dispute with them when such thing was implemented and got my previous account banned. At the end of the day, imo, it is just a missing instruction and not a broken toy.
  2. I vaguely remember it but I think he is also saying that he is not making the decision. So it goes along the line of I want to revisit 21/22 but it has to align with the business also.
  3. Miria and max thread got bumped now. Hlj accepting order for PF max 1s

    QC issues. That is really too thick But to be honest, it is designed to fail. a. It is a diecast material (meaning paint adhesion is not the best) and b. Not only it is a moving part but rubbing with each other as well. Overall, I am not sure how it can be improved or better designed. I rather have paint scrapped than a broken key joint.

    At that price why not consider the 31000 yen at Mandarake? Closing an item at 25k might as well cost 27-29k yen before international shipping.

    They played with it prior to taking the video. This is why they can easily tell you during the transformation what to keep watch out (what part that rubs or scary to pull/push). Having it transformed prior, the joints are already "massaged" and is easier to play with now.

    irc, DX toys are always officially released on the 15th of each month. NY recently has been creating their own Target date (usually a week for regular item and two weeks for web exclusive). This is pure speculation on my end but they may be doing this to avoid receiving complaints about slow preparation of shipments

    Picked this up earlier from post office No tamashii brown box but NY went overboard with the bubble wrap

    Congrats dude. I know you are frustrated as well but cheers! @kajnrig They disabled my account when someone here posted that the 31F was back on stock. When I apologized and have it reactivated, I noticed that the 31F was missing from order. I email them about it and they told me that they cancelled my 31F order because of my high cancellation rate. Now, I can reorder it provided that it gets available again
  14. Weathered, decal'd. The rainbow canopy still being good. So beautiful. @Lolicon are you planning to top coat the strike/super parts as well?

    Thanks! Ordered one but just now I got a memo from HLJ. Seems like they are being more strict about order cancellation. So be careful on using their services as back up PO with the plan to cancel it the moment you get to secure it from other site.

    I did not monitor the price of it but I was really surprised to see it just a few thousand yen away from original Draken set. It also has that leg armor packs x4.
  18. They even have the swords as separate and built when there are a few modeller has been scratchbuilding one that is fully combine-able sword.

    Good luck. Hope they do deliver. Last time I've sent a ticket, I got shipping notification the next day (this is after some member saying they sent a ticket and received the preparation in progress email within the day). I actually overtook some of the orders here since I ordered mine on the 28th of October
