It was a figure shop called Toy Square (the sign is toy S^2 as in, squared). It's in first markham.

Just got this steal of a deal from a local hobby store here in Toronto. $110 cad unopened and was sitting in a glass case in the back corner of the store!
-
Couldn't be happier! Though, I was hit hard by shipping and duties but it's worth every penny!
-
Won the VF-1/Strike Parts combo at the base selling price just at Y45000. Nobody else placed a bid on the item.

I'm going to choose Fromjapan as the proxy service. I would just like to know if members think the auction is legit. If so, I'm going for it 100% Can't miss out on the dream toy
-
Upon checking the reviews. it seems that the "good reviews" are all duplicates? Possibly bot reviews? (translated to English and scrolled down a bit) Does anyone recognize this auction as a scam? Could other experienced buyers please have a look at the other items under the seller. I have no experience in this hobby so it would be a huge help as this is a first for me. Thanks.

Does this seller look legit? Claims to have both the VF and the Movie Superparts. Hoping I don't fall into a gullible trap.

Well after calculating, including a new buyers discount code that takes off 500 yen + that shipping box price + the HST + $19.21 (assuming this is CAD) That gives me a total of $465.45 CAD / 357.21 USD. Is this a price you would jump at for this figure? EDIT: Misread that. Will wait for Mandarake with their reasonable shipping box. Thanks

Alright, all set on Mandrake, now for the waiting game... Thanks a ton! Unfortunately EMS is unavailable. Airmail services from Japan went down for Canada last year so I'm a couple months late to the party (Hikaru VF-1S DYRL edition from CDJapan) Not expecting them to reopen anytime soon either after some investigating. The available shipping options from cdjapan are rather expensive and not worth it. With either FedEx or DHL, The totals are comparable to Kijiji and Ebay scalper prices in my area. USD: CAD: Now I'm wondering, if I even snag a good price from Mandarake, will I still have to go with the overpriced shipping options?

Signed, I hope to see the mobile game live on! I absolutely adored the effort put into making the motions of the songstresses look so natural.

dx vf-1j - 2nd batch? (listing states limited 1st release)
Metaphor322 replied to orbitalharvest's topic in Toys
Thank's everyone for the offers and advice. Personally, I really have my heart set on just the movie edition VF-1S Hikaru edition. Also looking for the cheapest movie superparts set I can find, but can manage that myself. -
Thanks for the information. I think I will hold off for now because of shipping restrictions. only FedEx and DHL are available. Make's the price shoot up $100+ CAD just for shipping so I would rather wait on a Mandrake listing or hopefully find someone selling one here for a reasonable price.

dx vf-1j - 2nd batch? (listing states limited 1st release)
Metaphor322 replied to orbitalharvest's topic in Toys
Hi, are you still selling those? What's your asking price? Which model is it exactly? Much appreciated. -
Is this worth the price? been wanting a Bandai VF-1 DX Chogokin movie edition for so long (hopefully will find movie super parts somewhere). I'm new here and new towards the buying market for Macross merchandise, so I'm looking for tips too. Thanks. https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEODAI-57289?s_ssid=e35865627a0ca13cb9 I'm here in Toronto Canada so I'm wondering if that makes it anymore difficult to buy. Was hoping for something below scalper prices.
