Do you have a the Metal builds? their stands have default forks that you can place it between the legs of the figure. you can try to see if it will fit and see how it's weight balances on the stand.

There's also DHL Packet International (slower and chearper) I use to get these from HK shippers. they are like economy shipping that fly on DHL planes and then pass to local postal provider for delivery.

WOW, CDJapans DHL and FEDEX rate is $$$ (very expensive)

The us p-bandai store finally posted a preorder for gundam figure instead of just model kits. maybe it's a sign. https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2484810001001 not sure if these up coming p-bandai gundam stuff would be on https://www.bluefinbrands.com/ either. since we wont know under later on

you can also ask them to see if they can split it up so it's 2 smaller boxes. sometimes the total is cheaper due to Dim weight.

The price for DHL for items that are under 2Kg is still pretty fair. But their price goes up pretty quick if the shipping box is big even if it is light weight.

yeah for a small item ferry is not that safe. I hope japan post can work sometime out with USPS, so they can maybe charter a FedEx .DHL, flight once a week or use some of their available cargo space or something to clear Japans outbound

are you going to do Ferry (boat)?

The April release Super Stirke parts are out

The supposed release date on the p-Bandai website is still showing 04-15-20 . It’s possible that they will delay this to next month .

Yeah , this seems to be the first time that they marked up a item . The previous ones were just currency conversions plus a small bit . But this times they jack it up much more and then that California sales tax just killed for me .

04-09-20 update from japan post Due to the reduction in international flights, after a parcel is collected it might take over 2 weeks to assign a plane to the parcel bound for the USA. https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/2020/0409_03.html Significant delay in international mail to the United States As we have announced previously, the novel coronavirus pandemic has caused a global reduction of flights. Accordingly, acceptance of international mail items to some countries/territories is temporarily suspended and considerable delivery delays are expected for outbound mail items to other countries/territories. Although mail items to the United States are currently being accepted, it is expected to take more than two weeks to load the items that have already been accepted on airplanes to that country due to the significant reduction and suspension of flights. Therefore, we are trying our best to dispatch promptly as many postal items as possible to the United States, cooperating with airline companies and the postal operator in that country. We sincerely apologize that delivery will take more time than usual. It would be appreciated if you would kindly understand this situation in advance. From Zenmarket and japanpost https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/2020/0409_01.html We have recently received more updates from Japan Post in addition to the information posted on April 1st. Starting today, until further notice the following services will be disabled: EMS and Airmail for: Australia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Botswana Surface mail for: Sri Lanka, Nepal, Brazil, Eritrea, Bhutan, Syria, Bahrain, Fiji, Serbia, Zimbabwe, Botswana

Hopefully soon . At their relaunch drawing , there were some metal robot destiny figures so I think they are just moving the gunpla first since they are of lower price then the metal builds .

Looks kinda like a gundam with a clear green dome hat . I like how Bandai is still adding more series onto their hi-metal r line .

On the actual P-bandai Product size　Height: about 220mm , which is around 8.66 inches

Shipping by boat takes about 2-3 months to receive your items . So with ems still in backlog, and if there is not much delay on boat shipping, then that might be a more economical way to go for if you are planing to ship some big and heavier items .

just got another delay email from nippon-yasan. It now push to 05-31

I haven't seen any change on that yet, so it's still good for now.

It was actually Fedex ground /home that amazon did not allow their 3rd party to ship with . It’s not the same as Fedex Express . Anything leaving Japan would be Fedex Express since it would be flight only . It’s also possible that Japan post Ems packages for the USA will be loaded on Fedex express flights and then tender to the post office once it reach its destination state for final delivery.
