nice to have 8 month coverage.

mine 2x are on the fedex w/ customs extra change plane. estimated to come in monday

why bandai you miss tail lights

thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it's too late, yesterday they invoiced me shipping after i chose and i already paid for shipping. but thanks for sharing the shipping rates for yours, it'll be helpful for next time. I guess i'll eat the customs fees...

I should have asked to ship them out one by one DHL since it's 5832yen combine shipping doesn't help anymore.

this was my quote for 2x Shipping weight 4700g FedEx International Priority 11,043 yen approx. 5 days Airmail International 14,200yen approx. 3 to 6 weeks EMS 15,100yen approx. 10 to 20 days UPS Worldwide Express Saver 15,682yen approx. 4 days (Remote area fees are included.) DHL Express Worldwide 22,796 yen approx. 5 days

oh man, wait really? why are they charging customs Are there new rules for imports? damn i chose fedex.

my orders just arrived at yoya

someone make them and sell them lol

no, it's the two newest websites that people weren't familiar with. Yoyakunow and another one that no one has heard of till recently. it's in the pre-order thread the night of the VT-1 releases and several posts were warning it was Nippon Yasan. I also read similar posts on Robot Japan board. But i'm ordered from Yoyakunow bc i didn't care

i'm not sure if it's confirmed if it's yoyakunow but one or two of the retailer links that was shared pre-order night were former nippon yasan guys. one was the company with the ultra low pre-order price but with insane shipping costs and read from the forums they were Nippon Yasan. I don't care really care but it's interesting.

does anyone know when Nippon Yasan ships? (yoyakunow) i have two on order there.

yeah, just kidding i'm pretty excited for this release.

unbelievable... this one has less tampo on the chest plate

oh nice!!!

When i see the VT-1, it brings up sad memories... Roy dies bc of a joyride... Minmay gets separated from Hikaru that practically ends their relationship. Misa smacks Hikaru in it... what a valk!

i hope for roy weathering edition

man sorry to hear about the crooked laser. This is really a bummer.

that looks worse than a beginner's gunpla build

hopefully Bandai USA will take care of any fears of bent lasers or broken wings.

ah @treatment you beat me to it by a few seconds!!!

Bluefin official is the distributor of Bandai merch in the US. They used to be a separate company but Bandai brought them out and are under Bandai. I don't know if Macross will get bluefin stickers. the bluefin emblems was on my USA metal build Gundam packages and chogokin voltron slip covers vs. the import boxes. (I purchased both import and domestic copies) It looks like your box doesn't have bluefin on it but Bandai did slap a Bandai/Namco domestic sticker on the back of your box. That should be proof enough for claims support and don't need to worry about the bluefin emblem.

Not sure the confusion but to be clear: Bluefin stickers will not carry on imports unfortunately, if Bluefin does have a sticker it will be for US market or Bandai will have a distinct marker on the box that indicates it's not an import. (might be an WWM emblem or bluefin sticker, we'll have to see.)

nice i hope to get this type of service in the USA, have to wait though... US distributors are taking a while to get theirs.
