Someone mentioned the NA release for the blu-rays were sold out, a few pages ago. In case others are still looking, there's pre orders remaining on https://www.rightstufanime.com/category/Blu~ray?keywords=Evangelion (Someone please update if/ when they sell out). If you change search criteria, this merchant will sometimes have figures available to purchase as well. I had preordered (then canceled) a reissue gx-71 with them. No extra charges. Really easy to work with. And you get discount coupons in the mail from time to time. (No I don't work for them) but in another life, I wish I owned a store like theirs.

This. I've recently used both Buyee then FromJapan proxy service, just to compare. Both services offer 300 to 500 yen per each auction bid (that you pay for only if you win). Buyee has optional packing consolidation & extra bubble packing charge. FromJapan has a tool on their website to calculate charges, including for shipping. Here's the damage: From Buyee, to get 3 dx valks plus several missile packs, tv super pack, and a couple strike super packs (and a couple of super-deformed robots), Total weight 12680 grams, Dimensions 72 × 54 × 46 cm --> EMS Shipping 28200 yen FromJapan, 2 metal build EVAs, 1 metal build arbalest, 1vf-1j armor. Total weight 4.78kg. EMS Shipping 20160 yen. What $$ I saved from getting items cheaper via auction, vanishes quickly because of shipping charges. So don't consolidate shipping for large size items. Combine shipping only for the smallest boxes.

Sucky cell phone photos incoming: Open box item from Rakuten(?), via FJ VF-1J armor only, from YJA Metal Build Unit 02 and... Metal Build Unit 01, both from YJA I tried EMS via FromJapan this time (instead of Buyee, like last time). Shipping is really the suck no matter which way I go. 😔

🤩Yay!

If I promise not to plug up the toilet, can I come over to play with just 1 of those dx vf1?

Someone make apparel that says "Bandai DX Macross: embrace the suck" I will so buy those!

Maybe the other seller was NY

Had these for a while, but had not taken pictures. Only the nendoroid is a truly new arrival. From eknightmedia Unit 00 from YJA Unit 02 from Anime Monster in Santa Ana Black getter from feebay This Just In!

I ordered the combo with Nin-Nin at beginning of October, and it is also still at preparing- for-packaging stage. No response on their website as well.

Bandai should have added light up LEDs to the bottom of foot thrusters. 'Would make for an even more eye-popping & dynamic display in gerwalk hover- or descending-mode. I would not DIY it though, in case it leads to some plastic parts melting

Congrats man. The second picture is a beauty.

On the secondary market/ auction sites, the seller listing will often say something along the lines of: if anything is wrong with the figure inside the box, contact or file a claim with manufacturer. Assuming most here don't speak Japanese (like me), has anyone on here attempted to get an issue like Toonz's taken cared of by a manufacturer? The pessimist in me would like to know, in case any of my secondary market purchases turn up with a brick inside the box

That site has oodles of good info & pictures. Thanks very much.

This has probably been discussed in previous threads already, apologies if I'm beating a dead horse: what is the difference between the Max yamato 1/60s & the Arcadia 1/60s?

I had pre- ordered a re-issue gx-71, having missed out on the initial run (and missed out on all Bandai DXs, but that's another story). I heard about the carbotix version for voltron, read that it will be a combiner and larger scale than gx-71. Pre-ordered the carbotix, and I may/ will cancel gx-71 preorder. Can only afford one.
