    Put in a countersink using a hand-drill, and use a flat-head screw?
  2. Sanity is Optional
    No idea, but over here in California my stuff gets up to ~85F (29.5C) and I haven't noticed much of an issue. I don't really have many older figures, just some Yamato V2 era stuff and a single V1. They're a bit newer than the old-school Star-Wars action figures (and probably use better plastic).
  3. Sanity is Optional
    I'm pretty certain I'll get mine, since the proxy got an order in specifically on my behalf at the Tamashii web store. I kinda want a second though, since I have 2 of every other DX VF.
  4. Sanity is Optional
    Just got shipping notification on my totally not Macross Zero F-14.
  5. Sanity is Optional
    Those aren't "valkyries", they're "veritechs"
  6. Sanity is Optional
    If one of them isn't PVT. Parts or PFC J. Doe I will be sad.
  7. Sanity is Optional
    Yup, got mine through them, notification received on July 15th, and it's already sitting on my table for a while now.
  8. Sanity is Optional
    Yeah, that's the Bandai DX valkyrie stand, included with just about all their valks (some of the Frontier ones came with SMS bases rather than Hex-shaped bases).
  9. Sanity is Optional
    I had originally gotten it via website sub, but I switched to HLJ, as it was considerably cheaper. No issues with my credit card initially at least (travel card from Capital One).
  10. Sanity is Optional
    I already have a 19 and 21, with the add-on sets. Picked them up a while back, was just missing the 11.

    Pilot figure was a subscription exclusive IIRC, so you won't get it unless you buy the right edition with the subscription bonus. They're released roughly every 2 weeks, #27 just hit my private warehouse last night.
  12. Sanity is Optional
    Mine shipped 6/29, left port 7/1, and no update yet. The previous thing I had shipped Ferry (from Tenso) just showed up a few days ago after a little over 2months. So I'm expecting it to hit within the next month or so.
  13. Sanity is Optional
    Picked up a couple things from Mandarake. Shipping cost more than the items did... Yamato GNU-Dou VF-11 (slightly grubby Weathered version) Bandai Macross Solid Archive gacha set I have a weakness for Macross Valkyrie gacha, and these looked like interesting little fixed-pose action scene statuettes.

    Odd, I haven't actually had any issues (outside of pre-order madness) with HLJ's website. Using chrome/firefox on windows 7/10, chrome on android phone, and safari on OSX. Won't ever keep me logged in, but I'm not sure if that's intended or not.
  15. Sanity is Optional
    No paint needed 100 issues ~$19 each going by my credit card receipts Issue 26 just released on the 29th You can pre-order any that aren't at order-stop Currently have issues 4-26 waiting, as HLJ's extended their Private Warehouse holding until Japan Post is available again.
  16. Sanity is Optional
    Clarification, the newer PF 0D does not have these issues. Only the original release does.
  17. Sanity is Optional
    Yeah, for PF HLJ doesn't mark down, at all. I was talking about normal Arcadia releases.
  18. Sanity is Optional
    Sometimes, usually they'll sell at or a bit below MSRP (taking off the 10% tax). Markdowns seem more likely to happen with Arcadia valks than Bandai DX Chogokins.
  19. Sanity is Optional
    So, ordering via FromJapan you will have to pay: Service fee. Either ¥300 for basic, or ¥700 if you want "protection", I.E. they will help if the item isn't as described. Latter mostly for auctions. Domestic Shipping International Shipping Prices you pay will include Japanese domestic tax (10%, included in MSRP), HLJ and such don't charge this tax as they sell to foreigners
  20. Sanity is Optional
    You gave it a rainbow canopy treatment as well?
  21. Sanity is Optional
    Probably be available at and after release for MSRP, same as all the other Arcadia releases. Might even go on sale, though I somewhat doubt it (only some of the VF-1 figures really went on sale).
  22. Sanity is Optional
    Well, most places only make you pay at release, and the difference between pre-order and aftermarket costs are usually $100+. So it's easy money for scalpers, with no up-front costs. Heck, they can scalp it for an up-front cost now, and have an interest free $300 now, that they need to pay $200 to cover later.
  23. Sanity is Optional
    He means that pre-orders at MSRP usually sell out within minutes at any given retailer, if not seconds. Also pre-orders go up at 3am EST, midnight PST. Personally I've gotten every Bandai release that's come out since I started collecting at MSRP, but that's not a common experience.
  24. Sanity is Optional
    Reissue chances? Possible, but unlikely. The only one I see as possible is a VF-1J re-relase for the Armor, probably a "grey goggle" release, possibly as a gift pack with the armor. Planned variants? Only shown ones that haven't been up for pre-order yet are Hikaru/Kakizaki TV VF-1A. Presumably we may get full Skull/Vermillion squads for both TV and SDFM, due to included inserts for the TV and SDFM FAST packs.
  25. Sanity is Optional
    Just copy the web address of the Arcadia page for ordering, and paste it into the search bar on your proxy of choice (FromJapan, DeJapan, Buyee, etc...)
