Ami Ami used the same box format when they shipped my VF-27 a couple of weeks ago.
But I was fine with it b/c I also ordered the Armored VF-25S.
My last shipment from Ami Ami was almost key chain sized, and it shipped in the same (top) box as shown in amime52k8's photo.
WTF AMI AMI?!?!? One huge ass box for one huge small shipment? I AM DISAPPOINT.
