eggy99 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 got my HLJ auto payment receipt and it's being processed for shipping now. had 2 preordered from Black Friday sale and shipping to Australia EMS was ¥4980. All up approximately AU$610 Would have been nice to have a 3rd so I could display with full armour and the custom arm cannon and still keep one in naked battroid. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Got my paypal paid email from HLJ. Now the waiting....... Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) *snip*Toys = drugs. Quoted for the absolute truth. Just paid for the (2) at HLJ - $ 45 for EMS. Now to go and see which blood banks are open to fund these things... -b. *edit to just list shipping costs Edited March 28, 2014 by Kanedas Bike Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Paid ¥26,568 JPY to HLJ through PayPal. Quote
Mommar Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Does anyone know if the missile packs will fit on VF-1's? That would be awesome if so. There were official photos that show the missiles mounted on the VF-1. Short answer, yes. Quote
Deadeye_281 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 HLJ came through. Now the shipping wait begins. Quote
mechaninac Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Paid for my HLJ YF-19 preorder as well; in the PW system it goes, waiting for a few other items to ship along. So, is it now official that, taking shipping and Black Friday Sales into consideration, HLJ ended up being the least expensive rout to aquire one of these babies? Quote
Mommar Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I don't understand this race to the bottom competition people have with how much they paid for this thing? I've got one in the mail, that's all I need. Quote
dizman Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Woo mine is ready to go, now we play the waiting game. Guess I could mess around with the old 1/60 V1 while I wait. Quote
mechaninac Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I don't understand this race to the bottom competition people have with how much they paid for this thing? I've got one in the mail, that's all I need. Simple math: spending less on any one item frees up funds to spend on other stuff. And knowing you got a good deal is always rewarding. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Anyone get it shipped to the US from HLJ via FedEx? I was charged 3300Y for EMS like several others here, but was wondering what FedEx would have been. Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) I'll know soon, FedEx is usually around $40 for me for a box that size (shipping two that is, one would be quite a bit less), but I like their service in my town better than the post office. Edited March 28, 2014 by Chronocidal Quote
xrentonx Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 HLJ warehouse got my goods now! Gonna put this into shipment over the weekend Is that a +1 for the museum, Kicker? Quote
skullmilitia Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Should be cheaper, I've got 3 valks + a MP transformers, and it was only 44$ for FedEx Express. Quote
Kicker773 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 {^.~} + more....favorite valk....squad still sitting in the ware house. Will have pics soon enough of the sets and the evolution from the 1/72 to the v1 1/60 to the new V2 1/60 Quote
spanner Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 although I pre-ordered my YF-19 through HK Collectibles, (which I kinda regret now) do you think it would be safe enough to just buy one from HLJ and cancel my pre-order with HKC? I emailed them to ask when they will be shipping them and they have no clue as to when they will be receiving stock which is a little disheartening to hear.. Quote

mechaninac Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Anyone get it shipped to the US from HLJ via FedEx? I was charged 3300Y for EMS like several others here, but was wondering what FedEx would have been. I just checked. FedEx is 4010 Yen for a single copy of this toy. If you're shipping it by itself, EMS is a better deal. Quote
Tober Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I don't understand this race to the bottom competition people have with how much they paid for this thing? I've got one in the mail, that's all I need. For future reference..? How much people pay depends on exchange rates and import duties/taxes etc. although I pre-ordered my YF-19 through HK Collectibles, (which I kinda regret now) do you think it would be safe enough to just buy one from HLJ and cancel my pre-order with HKC? I emailed them to ask when they will be shipping them and they have no clue as to when they will be receiving stock which is a little disheartening to hear.. I'd just leave it. Shipping from HK is generally cheaper so it should roughly even out. HLJ can take up to a week to ship orders, although I imagine most of the initial YF-19 orders will ship from HLJ this weekend. Quote
Sandman Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 HLJ just took the money out of paypal which annoys me. I already cancelled their autobilling option and they keep doing it. Its not a big deal this time as i was anticipating them doing that and had the money ready. Quote

HLJ can take up to a week to ship orders, although I imagine most of the initial YF-19 orders will ship from HLJ this weekend. Its not the shipping costs that bother me so much, its the fact they have no idea when they are getting their stock and or when they will be shipping the YF out.. I was under the impression that it might have been a faster option to buy out of Japan instead.. I have had a pre-order cancelled by HKC in the past as they had over allocated.. HLJ still says they have stock.. I just don't want to miss out or have to pay a higher re-sale price later on.. Quote
Loop Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Merchandise Total: ¥53,136 Shipping: ¥4,980 Amount Credited: ¥58,116 for 2x units. Nice, I was not even checking today and HLJ Charged me around 1PM PST. I also bought mine on black Friday and chose for immediate EMS shipping for them. Edited March 29, 2014 by Loop Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Aww yeah, HLJ just sent a payment notice. Can't wait for this bird! Quote
Sephiroth Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 HLJ order has been paid and awaiting shipment; been waiting on this pretty bird for a very long time. This is the YF-19 toy I had always hoped to be produced one day. I wonder how hard/expensive it will be to get a Yamato Fold Booster now... Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Received my payment request from HLJ. Don't get why graham didn't like these guys. I have been buying most of my macross stuff from them. For those who think this is just too expensive you should pressure bandai to do a YF-19 Himetal. They were stupid imo to stop that line. Would have been a great cheaper alternative to arcadia yf-19. And the box art for those kicks yamato/arcadia's butt. Edited March 29, 2014 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote
CrazyDude Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I found HLJ and Hobby Search(Aoshima) very dependable, good service and good pricing. In Japan a new item can't be sold above the price printed on it, selling 2nd-hand is differrent. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Just paid mine off from amiami. Hopefully within a few weeks we get news of super strike parts Also if someone with super parts for the vf-25 Do you think the side boosters would fit on the wings? Would love to recreate his scene in Wings of Goodbye Quote
Delta Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Do we know if it's possible to engage High-Speed mode with the FAST Pack attached? Quote
skullmilitia Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Yep mine's shipped and showing Tuesday delivery! WOOOOOOOOT! Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Oh you got yours?? As soon as it gets here, I'll be able to post pics. Quote
Scream Man Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 oh ok. I thought u meant u had it in hand Quote
