    FYI, Ep 21 is out (Japanese/Fansub) now.

    DHL says they'll drop off today. EMS already tried to deliver, but nobody to sign. So I guess trip to the post office tomorrow, but at least the one from DHL will be here.

    Isn't From Japan just a proxy? The prices you're looking at are probably Yahoo Japan Auctions, Amazon, Rakuten, or others.

    Anyone still need a VF-31A? Now "only" 68,000yen at Mandarake. What the ****
  5. Sanity is Optional
    Oh yeah, you can get it on release day, but given that DXs always sell out before the reviews show up, not sure how much that helps.

    Search for "Nylon Spudger" on amazon/Ebay.
  7. Sanity is Optional
    I don't think I've ever seen that option, what with how quickly the ones at MSRP sell out.

    Go to their website and check status. I never got confirmation of being charged or anything until shipment notice earlier today. It was shipped 3 days ago according to the tracking info.

    So, checking my HLJ EMS shipment vs CDJ: Both shipped on the 22nd, at 15:10 and 15:55, CDJ shipped later. HLJ's hasn't reached the outward office of exchange yet, while CDJ's is already in San Francisco, returned from US Customs. Looks like CDJ's definitely faster shipping.

    In the new Walkure movie, Walkure will go on a journey to sing to space whales...

    There's one at the top of this page.

    Got in something I bought via proxy from Rakuten. Dust cover is pretty dinged up, and the corners of the box are a bit damaged, but the contents are all good.

    I've got a pretty safe porch, but am not around during to day to sign for packages. Also USPS isn't the greatest at treating packages nicely. Plus the odd trip halfway across California for no apparent reason when the airport my package arrived at is 90min away...

    Same here, gotta say between DHL and EMS, I prefer DHL a bit. Shame that EMS is cheaper from CDJ and HLJ.

    Something tells me Bandai made a LOT of these, not that I'm complaining.

    Still waiting on shipping notice from all 4 places I have an order from. HLJ, CDJ, and AmiAmi have all charged me (for valk and shipping, both), Amazon Japan hasn't yet.

    I doubt they can help you there, they mostly sell to companies rather than individuals. You could get some smaller ones and stick them together, or get one slightly undersized and add some plaplate?

    Amazon Japan is actually a different company. The DVD I bought from them was pretty well packaged.

    Warning, they aren't the cheapest, but they probably will have what you need.

    Generally I use McMaster Carr for all my hardware needs, they have a lot of springs, pins, shafts, bolts, magnets, etc and a nice website to look through them.

    I generally watch about 5-10 series every season, so it's not much to at least check out each new gundam series. IBO was pretty good, and a very different take on the usual formula of angsty teens in giant robots fighting everyone. Thunderbolt was amazing, and I can't wait for the rest to get animated (there's a decently long manga). Frankly, Frontier was itself quite derivative of SDF Macross, just remixed, modernised, and with some changes to keep it fresh. Frontier was great, and those similarities to SDF Macross were part of what made it great.

    Well, if it ended up like Gundam, we'd probably have just as many good original series (if not more). Plus a boatload of derivative stuff. Gundam for instance just did Iron Blooded Orphans, which was very different from their usual fare. Also other gundam series like Thunderbolt or 08th MS team. Gundam may have a lower average quality than Macross, but through sheer quantity there's plenty of good stuff there as well.

    Now it's a race to see which one gets here first: DHL from AmiAmi, DHL from Amazon, EMS from CDJ, or EMS from HLJ when I have it shipped tomorrow.

    Yen, always. I've got a travel card that doesn't charge a conversion fee.
