  1. Yeah, I’ve been letting my kids play with it along with some other high end toys lately and they love this stuff!
  2. Yeah, I love those toys. Don’t care how funny they look. One of the best toys to take anywhere and have a “perfect” transformation Valk with you.
  3. Thanks! And thanks for getting me into these. I’m loving it more and more. Already ordered two versions of their Jazz now too. I don’t want to got too deep in this game but they remind me of the displayability and playability of HMR. Very dangerous.
  4. Messing around with this thing and I noticed Gerwalk mode! OK, stock on this thing just rose 1000% for me!
  5. I gotta find mine one of these days.
  6. Nice job! You are becoming quite the customizer!
  7. I don’t get it. Even if you pay crazy prices you aren’t guaranteed your shipment quickly. Why not just choose ferry, pay less and kick back, relax and strap on your seatbelt?
  8. Yep, I think we’ve discussed this here before but Jetfire was a reuse of the Takatoku 1/55 VF-1 mold to create a Transformer. Unfortunately for Hasbro, it was the Transformer that put all other Transformers to shame and basically put the nail in the coffin for Tramsformers as far as I was concerned. Many years later and it’s come full circle for me as Arcadia and Bandai Valks again put MP Transformers to shame. This little guy I just got is pretty impressive though and reminds me of the playability of the HMR line.
  9. Got this already! I didn't realize it was going to be so tiny but the engineering is fantastic! It looks a lot better than any MP Seeker I've sen so far and the articulation is pretty damn good. Very nice but again, I thought I was getting a Generations sized figure so while I am very impressed and glad to experience it, I will not be investing in anymore of these. Maybe. Their Jazz and metallic toy Megatron look pretty good too...
  10. Yeah, NY is offering an unlimited Private Warehouse because of this so I would roll with that. Also, I'm glad I usually use Ferry anyways so any delays and long wait times is all good for me.
  11. Or order from AJ and only pay 1600Y to ship a single item DHL. Best expedited shipping price ever.
  12. Looks like AJ is the only reasonable place to shop at now. Well, of course other than NY with their awesome, cheap and unstoppable yet slow ferry option.

    Haha, so that’s why you got so many of those?
  14. That’s why LEK is the best there is at what he does.

    Hi-Metal R

    Your pictures and posing keep getting better. More!
  16. That looks badass!
  17. If all your ferry shipments are consistently in worse shape, I’d probably go with another method too. I’m not crazy about having to have flawless packaging but I definitely prefer it to getting banged up packages. Most importantly is the toy inside but I’m a collector that keeps everything including packaging so I want it all in as good condition as possible.
  18. Sorry to hear I contributed to some trouble for you. We are just all sharing our experience so YMMV. If you get packages in bad condition regardless of method, I suspect it has to do with your local post office. I think it all depends on location and what your package has to go through to get to you. I live on the west coast so my guess is my packages have minimal amount of handling and to get to me.
  19. Yeah, I'm not worried about it at all. I've always used ferry whenever it's into the two digit mark of savings and it almost always is for larger items like Valks. Doesn't take very long for that to add up to a lot of money when you buy as many toys from Japan as I do. It seems like my post office and whatever process it takes before it gets to them has been working out for me because my packages are either always pristine inside or at the worst, I've seen slight wrinkles in corners that could have happened anywhere, with any shipping including before it was even shipped.
  20. Haha yeah, I just went with the ferry option with FJ. I'm in no hurry and see no reason to pay more for something especially if it isn't going to definitely be faster.
  21. I usually do and my other upcoming orders with them are all ferry but I think this is one of the cases where ferry doesn't make sense because it's a single, smaller item. They gave me the price options for EMS or regular Air and said I can just sit back and wait or let them know if I decide to change shipping method. It was only an additional 1190 or 1410 yen depending on which method I wanted
  22. An update from NY...I noticed one of my items is about to release and I had SAL for the shipping so I sent them a note about what I should do. They responded in less than one day and the basics are that they can hold the item until they are able to ship with SAL or I can choose another currently available method and pay the difference. Will see how it goes and I might choose something else this time just because I have no idea when SAL will be available again.
