hachi Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 EMS was usually cheaper for me. So I just ordered some stuff from Amazon Japan, delivery is estimated to be in 2 weeks. Pre-covid it used to be 1 week or less. We'll see what is the actual delivery date and delivery company. Quote
hachi Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) So they shipped via DHL, and tracking already says it's delayed lol. Let's see how it goes. I got another shipment from the US the other day. It was relatively fast in that I expected it to arrive next month. Edited September 25, 2020 by hachi added see Quote

Kicker773 Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Gonna have to look through this thread on what books I’ve missed out on. Quote

The Mikimoto book that seems to be in perpetual delay seems to be on the list of books that cannot be shipped overseas....funny thing is I already have a PO on it....hopefully I will still be able to get it via AJ Quote
sh9000 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Estimated delivery for the Mikimoto book is now 5/30/21-6/2/21. Quote

jvmacross Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 The difference between a book that is in perpetual postponement and one that has been flat-out canceled is simply a fool's hope? Quote
sh9000 Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 The release date of Macross-Shoji Kawamori Designer’s Note is 12/4 and is now 624 pages.  No change to the price.  Quote

wm cheng Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 Darn, I its says sold out on HLJ. Did I miss my window or do they often come back on sale after release date? Amazon isn't delivering outside Japan are they? Where can I still order one of these books if I live in Canada. Quote
jvmacross Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10713168 Â Amazon Japan made the last few Macross books available for overseas shipping on or near release day......which had previously also been unavailable for PO I am hoping the same goes for the Kawamori Designer's Note....I currently have one at HLJ which I will drop if AJ opens up Quote

I'll probably have it shipped next year then. Quote
jvmacross Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 I'll keep checking to see if AJ makes it available for overseas shipping...I'd rather have it asap....keeping it with HLJ means I won't be shipping it on release day Quote
Shawn Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 It has english text? No way! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Macross-Shoji-Kawamori-Designers-Note-Special-Book-624-pages-Official-PSL/143851971405 Quote

jvmacross Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 yeah, for me...optional...only because for the most part I can easily find another copy if I needed to a year later without having to spend at least double the price for it! Try doing that with a DX VF-1..... Quote

With the DX VF-1's? So true.  Quote
no3Ljm Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Hahaha!  Not for me with the DX 1/48’s. I’m just happy on completing Hikaru’s ride this time around which I know I’ve said to myself when I started getting the 1/60 scale. But at DX 1/48 scale, I can’t do it since they’re huge. Can’t imagine how big a YF-19 at that scale and how expensive it’s going to be. Quote
Captain Global Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Hi, after knowing it will have english text I'm definitively grabbing one. Amiami seems the best place to grab one so fat, is there any other good option?. Also, are any delays expected with shipping as the release date falls in the christmas season? Quote
