Pedro2k6 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 2900yen for ems to Singapore. but I'm shipping it with my rvf-25. would have added more but that would cause me to get taxed by customs. also still processing for shipment since last Wed. They shipped mine today. I think it gonna be on my door next tuesday-wednesday. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Nice! Next time ill use EMS for HLJ shipments since it is much cheaper than what NY charges. Quote
anubis20 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 otacute where art thou? With my RVF they were about 2 weeks late but still came through. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Thanks for the assurance, just envious everyone's getting there's and have to hold off the urge when hlj showed in stock... Quote
Kyp Durron Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Oh where, oh where is the Ozma renewal reissue...?Oh when, oh when will it be....?*Sigh*-Kyp Quote
Benson13 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I'm with you Kyp. I had given up on renewals and then I got my new job. Only bad part is I have to pack up my valks and move them to Texas and that scares me. Quote
Loop Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I'm holding out until the VF-27 super and 30th VF-1J. I want to see if it saves me money. Quote

Shukenzero Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Waiting on my guy still...VF 25F price is soaring... Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 How much more was EMS for HLJ? I paid $153.39 total for SAL. I got EMS for $157 IIRC. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Waiting on my guy still...VF 25F price is soaring... still looks like retail in Japan http://auctions.search.yahoo.co.jp/search?p=vf-25f&auccat=2084023734&aq=-1&oq=&ei=UTF-8&slider=0&n=100&tab_ex=commerce Quote
Lupin The Third Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) I'm with you Kyp. I had given up on renewals and then I got my new job. Only bad part is I have to pack up my valks and move them to Texas and that scares me. Put them back in the boxes and pack those inside double wall shipping grade boxes. Do NOT use the shitty standard "moving boxes" from U-haul, Lowes, HomeDepot, Walmart, etc. Go to either a specialty box store or online to Uline and order these: http://www.uline.com/BL_418/275-Lb-Test-Double-Wall-Boxes?keywords=Double%20Wall%20Boxes You'll either pay "a lot" for a box, or rather it will seem like a lot for those not familiar with this stuff, at a specialty store or you can pay less with Uline but the shipping will be pricey. However these kinds of boxes are built like bricks. This is what you want to protect your stuff in a move. Standard moving boxes collapse with minimal handling and if there is anything slighty heavy on top of them; and let's face, it the movers don't give a crap about your silly Japanese toys. My wife and I transported an entire collection of Walt Disney Classic Collection and Disney Armani figures across the country and back in Double Wall 24x24x24 boxes with no breakage problems. Plus all my game/anime collectibles went in double walls again with no problems. Also get packing peanuts to fill in the void space in your boxes, try not to use paper.

OzmaLee74 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I got EMS for $157 IIRC. What? That's like just 4 bucks more. I kinda wish HLJ gives a shipping estimate at the beginning. I would have opted for EMS instead of SAL. Quote

I just moved recently and used the Home Depot moving boxes and they were fine. Just marked them so that none of the heavier boxes (kitchenware, electronics) got stacked on top of them. Quote

Not sure about how you did it, but I moved them all into my private warehouse. From there, you can get an estimate on your shipping when you consolidate your item. Quote

Only bad part is I have to pack up my valks and move them to Texas and that scares me. If I ever move all my toys are going in my car with me. On top of big foam padding haha Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Not sure about how you did it, but I moved them all into my private warehouse. From there, you can get an estimate on your shipping when you consolidate your item. I ordered "ship when available". Didn't know that you could get a shipping estimate using private warehouse. Thanks for the tip! If I ever move all my toys are going in my car with me. On top of big foam padding haha As much as I'd like to do this, I didn't realize how large my collection has become. I had to use 12 extra large Shipping boxes from Home Depot. =) Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Well you know, valks take a heck of a lot less room if you don't pack them in the original boxes. If I ever have to move long distance with them, I'll likely pack them tightly in styrofoam peanuts, fold the boxes, and stack the trays. Plus, a lot of valks can be taken apart to an extent, and it really helps find ways to pack them together in small spaces. Quote
Shukenzero Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Yammies take the most amount of space; damn those Zero valks! When I moved, before collecting valks, it was cardboard boxes with everything valuable inside black bin liners within the box. Obviously padded but will take a lot more care now I have scores of valks! Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to remove everything from their boxes and repack them. I don't have anything on display since I'm the kind of collector that takes his toys out every once in a while but puts it back in the box when done then returns it to the closet. I dunno, I guess growing up with 4 siblings just made me this way since they used to always take my stuff without asking. =) Quote
Gakken85 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 My Alto did ship... NY just didn't send me an email. I guess I'll get it Sat or Monday. Quote
erikos0311 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 package update: Left San Francisco Customs today!! Quote
TCracker Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Went and collected my alto for my supposed 'preorder' that I never made. Checked the toy, everything in good condition. swooshed it around. back in the box it goes. Now, the extras I had, decided to take one out that has the worst paint chip and literally play with it. This one will be my desk toy for me to transform back and forth with impunity. Quote
SaitouSad Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 hlj finally sent me my shipping notice. paid last wed. so about a week to process this one.. Quote
Duymon Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Just a heads up there's an Ozzy on Mandarake for 25000. prolly would bhe 28000 after shipping http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-824686.html Quote
wm cheng Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Wow! Two, I couldn't even get one at the HLJ prices... I had to resort to the NY price. Good for you! Quote
erikos0311 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Wow! Two, I couldn't even get one at the HLJ prices... I had to resort to the NY price. Good for you! Thanks Cheng, It was not easy...! I lost like 2-3 Days of my life I will never get back staying up late, glued to my Desktop screen hitting F5 to refresh, I didnt make the 1st cut, then I scored with NY, then all of a sudden i happened to check my phone for updates on MW after a nap and bam! I swooshed to my desk and scored! lost sleep and pissed off the wife at times but preorder maddness for these bad boys was kind of a rush and got my addrenaline pumping like nobody's business! Quote
