ZorClone Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 HLJ replied. They can't get parts for Figma, but they offered a full replacement and reimbursement on shipping the broken Hulk back.

Lolicon Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Oooh grats on the VT-1 noel! And welcome to the VT-1 club! Here you'll find that the air is fresher, food tastes better, children less annoying. It's wonderful! What's special about the VF-1D first release?

Nothing special on the first release though. It's just a Hikaru Valk and I went outside my Red, Black, White/Tan only Valks just to complete his. And I was hoping for a 30th Anniversary version but the first release was the only available MIB at that time when I went and bid for it.

ZorClone Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Yeah, I'm still awaiting the right moment to get myself a VF-1D and a TV VF-1S. Never have had either
anubis20 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Opened the other half of my out of town loot. Need to find time to mess with all this stuff
abbadon Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Another epic haul, anubis! Can't wait to get my Voltron! Just a few more days...
sh9000 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 This thread is going to be updated with DX VF-31F and HMR Spartan purchases soon.
erizai Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 It's just me? I find the VF-31J packaging lousy...

It looks like he just realized he stepped on dog crap

But sad to say even if I paid Nippon-Yasan for that extra requested Y800 additional shipping cost, I didn't get enough protection. As far as I recall, AmiAmi is still the best when it comes to packing boxes. Surprisingly the 2 I got from NY that were shipped through SAL came bubble wrapped in separate boxes and in perfect condition.
Slave IV Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Haven't had time to take many pics since the holidays but I got a couple quick phone shots of my Transformer figure of the year (GigaPower Slag for 2016): Got tons of other loot and hopefully get some pictures up soon. Also scored DX VF-1F and HMR Spartan last night!

Actually it was bubble wrapped. But it's the kind of 'small' blue bubble wrap instead of the 'big' ones. And it's just in one layer, one sheet wrap. There's not enough clearance from the box. So basically, once the box got dented or wasn't handled properly, the package box inside will get affected by it. The reason why I was upset is that I've seen NY packed packages before and it was great even for small items. To think that I already bought 3-4 DX Valks from them already and every one of them was packed nicely. It just so happened that this time I was asked to extra Y800 from the initial shipping cost upon ordering which is already high compared when I bought the VF-19 Advance which IMHO the box was heavier than the VF-31J and they still didn't packed it carefully. 2 hours ago, Slave IV said: Haven't had time to take many pics since the holidays but I got a couple quick phone shots of my Transformer figure of the year (GigaPower Slag for 2016): Got tons of other loot and hopefully get some pictures up soon.

I had a problem with NY packing a while ago but it was nothing too serious...just a concern of what could have happened like you say. No issues since that one time though...I'm happy with them as one of my top two (HLJ is the other) goto shops these days.
anubis20 Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Many thanks to @MikeRoz for the DX Koenig Monster. I needed a Monster and the HMR was out of the question for me. Plus the Sheryl itasha makes it alot better

sh9000 Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Preordered a DX VF-31F and HMR Spartans last night. The Spartans are going to look great next to the other HMR Destroids, CF's, and Monster.
Mr Bomber Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 This arrived yesterday. Its an AMAZING figure, look is spot on and pairs excellent with my batman.

Few days ago sil80jdm was selling his for $250. And looks like it was already sold since it's not in his listing anymore. Good luck!
