-
ok. for you I will try. , but no guarantee.
-
Same old eyes here too, but the opposite, The MWDark theme took me awhile to get use to it, But after 2 week of using the MWdark theme, the older White theme became too bright for my eyes now.
-
Those white fronts just blend in but if you use the MWdark_ theme with the black background ...........

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
F360 replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The origin and the re:package both have redish eyes because the Manga have redish eyes on the cover? The#1004 and #1001 had green eyes. -

release date for the HI-metal R VF-4 is set for 03-23-19.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
F360 replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
yeah, it does have the cleaner look. I might skip the 40th anniv since I already hav ther RE:package. The Metal Composite Zaku doesn't have that must marking either so it should match up nicely..

Those uncle and aunties could very well be contractors for proxy stores in maindland china, But they can also be contractors for local proxy stores too? perhap run by non-japanese people? Its like the same uncles and aunties lining up at apple stores to get the lastest iphone. (they don't flip it, they just get paid to line up and drop off that a proxy dealer later) , so most locals just preorder it online on preorder date. I can understand why fans are upset too, but then if you think about it more, if you are a hardcore fan, you could've preorder it on pre order date, or if you missed it, you would start looking on where to secure one before release date, and if all else fails, you would line up early before the uncles and aunties to get it. It might sound harsh but I say the same to my friends too. Free Market is anything but free, you have to spend the time and effort if you want to get the best deal. Another way to help local fans, are for stores to start a CARD system like buying alcohol, only they check for your japanese passport. So only japanese can buy them. it will work but would not look good.

Some see, Some say, Some heard, then gets pass around, things can get a bit exaggerated some times , especially sweep off "all the MB EVA". But if you are in mainland China and NEEDS the Metal Build EVA, and decides to fly to Japan to get it, then more power to them. Seems fair to me since they are investing time and money. There's only so much one person can bring back too. Now for Hong kong ,that's much closer so I do see that happening more, but that's been happening for anything popular for a long time there. If the demand is high enough people will pay good money to get it, or effort /time/along with money. The people buying it locally from Japan and Hong Kong could also be be Proxy store contractor's/employee. Its not much difference than anyone else using a PROXY to get their toys. Besides, there's many people from other countries preordering this MB EVA from japan, these people (myself included) are taking away at least 1 MB EVA from a potential japanese buyer. Not that we I will stop anytime soon since I enjoy buying toys( somewhat healthy addiction?, well at least better safer than drug or alcohol) Bandai Japan release = everyone from other countries preorders and buy it Bandai USA release = Canada and USA mainly since international shipping out in very $$$ - the price would be the same buying from higher price japanese of hongkong stores. Bandai HK/China/Singapore/Taiwan release = half and half of above. The only real solution is for Bandai to release more in separate batches, and/or maybe put some popular standard releases on P-Bandai TOO so the locals can have an extra option of buying it. Some other extras are using bigger boxes ,lottery, event exclusives, etc. (things that I dislike)

I was able to log in to my account and quote for shipping from nin-nin-games is $48.41 for Fast EMS shipping to the USA. So total would be $313.65 shipped to the USA if you were to get a DX vf-1J from them. Then there's this below for future purchases, By buying this product you can collect up to 1424 loyalty points. Your cart will total 1424 points that can be converted into a voucher of US$13.26. So for people that are late, the price looks good. And if you pay in Yen it's even cheaper (for people that have creditcards that does not charge international conversion fees) The price will be 33690 yen Shipped EMS to the USA. which is around $305 USD shipped and you will still get loyalty points for future purchase. By buying this product you can collect up to 1424 loyalty points. Your cart will total 1424 points that can be converted into a voucher of ¥1,424 https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japanese-import-hobbies-toys-game-character/28249-the-super-dimension-fortress-macross-first-press-limited-edition-vf-1j-valkyrie-hikaru-ichijyou-machine-dx-chogokin--4573102551382.html

EMS is only 200 yen more. .. of course N-Y didn't offer you that option.
-
at that price. it's either they are shipping it by Ferry/boat or they mess up the weight and you got lucky.
-
The dx vf-1j is heavy , it’s around 2600 grams with shipping box . So you should select EMS shipping . I cant log in since I forgot my password but shipping from most other stores will be around 5200 yen base on that weight .

Nin-nin-games seems to have some for $265 . So you can try them if you are still looking for one . And if you shop from them before you can check your email for those random 800 yen off /1000 yen off coupons codes that they mail out here and there . Sometimes you can even stack them . And might as well use your loyalty points while you r at it . https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japanese-import-hobbies-toys-game-character/28249-the-super-dimension-fortress-macross-first-press-limited-edition-vf-1j-valkyrie-hikaru-ichijyou-machine-dx-chogokin--4573102551382.html
