anime52k8 Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 I just haven't noticed a lot of people hunting for it now that it's out. I don't think I could 1 for 1 trade it for a 007S or an astrea f and I think I made a mistake buying one. Quote

Yeah I've done proxy and they've all returned my money saying that they've already maxed out. Pretty frustrating about their limits when there's such a high demand AND it's an exclusive. Quote

Guess it's getting to the point where it's really hard to secure an order for Tamashii Web Exclusive items now. Oh well, I'm hoping that the last few exclusive items I want to get is not that hard to obtain. I'll take it also as a sign that it's time for me to move on to other stuff. Quote

They will reopen it after the event but via lottery sales in the web shop. Here's my post about it from the previous page: On 8/17/2018 at 1:16 AM, no3Ljm said: It looks like there's a new update for the Tamashii Nations 2018 Exclusive Items. https://tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_nation/attention.php#notes0816 <Regarding selling commemorative items after the event is over> At a later date, we plan to sell at "Soul Web Store" in Premium Bandai. We will sell (GUNDAM items) as follows. - METAL BUILD Strike Freedom Gundam SOUL BLUE Ver. - THE ROBOT SPIRITS <SIDE MS> MS-06 Mass production type Zaku ver. ANIME ~ First touch 2500 ~ - THE ROBOT SPIRITS <SIDE MS> RX-78-2 Gundam & G Fighter ver.

Yeah , and because shipping out from usa to other country is so expensive that there will be less fighting from over sea buyers trying to get it from us-p bandai. Quote
eXis10z Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Lol you underestimate the desperation of overseas buyer. Especially if the shipping + item = lower than scalper's price. Quote
HG Blows Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Ive been having some pretty crappy luck with shipping lately, I dont think Ive ever gotten a busted up package from hlj, but here we go. Ems too, so it was out in the wild less than a week Quote
eggy99 Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 That is awful. Can you get compensation from HLJ? Quote
Archer Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Put some stuff up in the WTB section (aile strike, destiny), let me know if anyone is interested in selling. Quote

HLJ give you 10 days to report a problem. Quote

Ems too, so it was out in the wild less than a week *snip* Ouch. That's the only thing I don't like with HLJ. They don't put any protection within the box aside from that shrinkwrap thing that they do. Yeah, as F360 says, check the content inside and see if there's nothing broken. If so, have it report to HLJ within their 10-day window. 4 hours ago, eggy99 said: That is awful. Can you get compensation from HLJ? Sad to say, as long that there's no damage inside, they don't. Box to them is just box. Collectible or not. I already received some items from them that has dents and bangs. And what they always asked is that if the item inside is not broken. Quote
anime52k8 Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) did it ship buy itself or did you have other stuff included? I think I dodged a bullet with mine because I used private warehouse. I shipped it with a nendo and they shipped them in an oversized box full of airbags. The shipping box was badly crushed but the stuff inside was pristine. Edited August 26, 2018 by anime52k8 Quote
HG Blows Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 It shipped by itself, I don’t like shipping smaller stuff with metal builds because Of the way they stack everything on top of it. But it doesn’t look like the figure is broken. I’d be satisfied with just a shipping refund, but doubt that is even gonna happen. Quote

Just want to share this from HLJ's Support Page: https://support.hlj.com/hc/en-us/articles/200981784-My-order-was-damaged-in-shipping Quote If you receive a damaged box from your mail carrier in person, if possible, take a photo of your mail carrier or delivery agent (driver) with the package. Ask your mail carrier to witness your opening the box, and get the carrier's name. Consult with the carrier at the time you receive the package to make sure they take note that the package was damaged before it was delivered. Then, please take photos of the shipping box before opening it. Next, open your box and carefully inspect your merchandise. If only your product packaging has been damaged (such as a crushed corner or bent lid) and the actual product is undamaged, we will unfortunately not be able to offer compensation. HobbyLink Japan is unable to guarantee mint-condition product packaging on arrival. If the actual product has been damaged, please take detailed photos of the damage and send them to us within 10 days of receiving the package. At our discretion, we may be able to accept a return of the merchandise, offer compensation, or replace the item. Please see Section 7 of our Terms and Conditions for details. If your shipping method includes insurance, you may be entitled to compensation from your post office or courier. To find if your shipping method includes insurance, please see our shipping methods overview. You do not need extra insurance on your package to receive this compensation. Please take your shipping box and merchandise to your local post office for assistance in filing a damage claim, or call your local DHL or FedEx office for more information. From what I've noticed, HLJ uses a thinner box that what AmiAmi or Nippon-Yasan were using. And they don't put enough protection inside. But then again, compared to other online stores, HLJ offers the best customer service when the items gets to us damaged. Edited August 27, 2018 by no3Ljm Quote

no3Ljm Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Who collects Gundam Ensemble here? I love mechas from AoZ but I couldn't bring myself on collecting a new line at this moment. Esp for 'SD' looking ones. It's cute but it's still 'SD' for me. If they were HGUC, I might since I have bunches of AoZ kits back home.

eXis10z Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 AOZ has some of the nicest mecha designs in the whole franchise. Quote
