No offense, but the way you talk to people may affect the way people respond to you. I know i don't go out of my way to help people who address me a certain way. The question is how did he dispute the charges? Did he make a claim through paypal? If so i can see them HLJ banning for that as they have nothing to do with fedex's service. If he simply emailed them then the result seems kinda harsh. That being said, i find fedex to be an awful service. I've only ever used them with hlj as my last two private warehouse shipments. Both ended up taking an extra week cause the package sat in their warehouse waiting for me to pay duty charges. The thing is they never called me to pay. They said i did but i know i didn't, i have call history on my phone. When trying to explain to them i pay more for their service so i can get my stuff faster, so why should i continue to pay for their service if it takes as long as a slower/cheaper service; i just get how do i want to pay parroted back to me. Yeah i won't be using them again. It's too bad EMS is now more expensive than fedex. Never had an issue with EMS.

In my mind a 1/48 vf-1 would probably cost the same as a vf-0 costs or more. Sad I think a new 1/48 vf-1 would be amazing.
-
The alto yf-29 got re-released twice as well.
-
I thought yamato said there was technical reason why they couldn't make 1/48 scale two-seaters? I can't remember exactly what.
-
That's a crappy place to land. They should've landed more south.
-
I would've loved to get this but not for that price. Sad.
-
I recently pulled my 1/48 1J from storage and the chest plate had yellowed. Makes me wished i played the crap out of them when i first got it. Might as well enjoyed it while it still looked new.
-
I wonder if the vf-2ss was considered a sucess for ET?
-
After saying i wasn't going to get another i was super tempted by it but i already got one from hlj. So i wasn't able to order one. Mixed blessings?
-
So i hear some people mention weathering on the premium edition. Has this been confirmed? -
Hmm tempting. Did not need to see that. Looks like there is a order limit of 1.
-
Yeah that's a good point. i was thinking of picking up another 31J but there's no point since the messerized one looks nearly identical to it. I think i'll wait for that one.
-
Yeah but at least you could justify it with improvements and new features rather than charging an arm and a leg for a nearly 10 year old mold.
-
That's sucks. I was hoping it would go through. It's seems like that is a manual process. Someone actually looks through the order history and deletes the duplicates. Bet you it'd be a different story if the 31j didn't sell well or had been sitting on the shelf for awhile.
-
Makes sense. Still sucks though.
-
When you extend the ankles you need to pull till you hear a click. My right ankle wouldn't click until I forced it really hard. Now battroid can stand with extended feet. I have not transformed it back yet so I'm hesitant to suggest people try this as I really took a risk pulling the ankles that hard. Do at your own risk.
-
Yeah I agree. A lazy attempt to fetch a premium price. Seriously as shitty as this is I can see why Arcadia is doing this. Their bare vf-1s releases are demanding prices of over 30 000 yen for some frickin reason. If people are willing to pay that for the bare valks, I'm sure the same people will pay the price for the premium version. I won't be one of them. I don't know why Arcadia is chasing a lot of customers away into the arms of bandai.
-
Wow price is above what Arcadia listed. Yeah this definitely a pass. Not spending the cash on a vf-1 which I have many and costed half the price a few years ago. If I'm spending that kind of money it better be a new mold with a lot of bang for the buck.
-
Wow no discount at HLJ. This pass is getting easier and easier.
-
Anyone know the weight of vf-31 in it's box? Trying to to figure out a shipping estimate.
-
Nope. They have it written in big red text on the listing: No Undervalue and no gift option.
-
Thanks but i'm in Canada. That option doesn't work for me.
-
This is funny to me. My nature was always to collapse the feet. The VF25/YF-29 trained me to extend the feet to the point that i think that's normal now. Now the 31 is collapse the feet. My mind wants to extend the feet. LOL!
-
do they have a pay later option?
-
This is probably an experiment to see if arcadia can get away with charging more if they tampo all the stickers like bandai.
