sh9000 Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 Yeah I saw the listings for Commander Gree and ML A-Force but I passed. I need to stay focused. I plan on getting the Deadpool wave and X-Men wave for sure. The 12" Wolverine looks cool but it needs to be super discounted.
Focslain Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 Not any models but still an import Also got a digital copy of Irregular at Magic School: Out of Order since the physical was out of stock. This is also my last purchase for a while since GW is preparing to assault my wallet with new model releases.

I haven't bought any of the 12" MLs yet but they all seem to go on discount. I want Spidey, Deadpool and Wolverine but don't think they are worth more than $25.

The Full Saber Quan[T] however are run with Veda's simulation test. So far, seeing it has different box design kinda threw me off.

Personally im not a fan of the cheesy CG art on this one Just like everyone else *snip* Shiryu is what i was the most excited to get in that package. I'll mess with it later on today and snap some pics. I have no clue whats the story with the 7S, never really got into the MSV stories of 00. All I know is I like the designs and I really want a Metal Build Astrea Type F Hear! Hear! Hope they make that teased Metal Build Astraea soon. And hope it's the white one first. Anyways, great catch everyone! Edited July 26, 2017 by no3Ljm

Now I want one... 2 hours ago, no3Ljm said: That's a cool figure, Anubis. It feels like it came out from Zone of the Enders video game. That's because it was designed by Yoji Shinkawa. He really likes that head shape; he started using it with ZoE and has been putting it into his mecha designs since. Metal Gear Ray has a similar head, and his original design for Frame Arms, the Byakko, also shares that look: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10465646

I just couldn't resist the sale at HLJ last time for Y24500 from initial Y32000+ that I paid from the first release. Since this is a niche product, I decided to get two for backup if ever I break the first one. Hehehe.

F360 Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 This is one of my bigger HLJ shipments, due to the previous sales adding up to 60 days. They really PACKED in there, I used EMS this time to save 1000 yen , but I'll probably go back to using FEDEX next time since they normally used a wider box, which is better for the items inside. big but narrow box, the corners, sigh... someone is very good at 3d tetris I got 2 air bubbles. take some out, and look, almost all the space is used The Macross stuff The Chogokin robot stuff, yes, that girl is a Alloy/chogokin and not a figma Gundams, , figma ,revoltech and lots of robots HLJ was able to provide EMS shipping on all these items for 10820. (that's actually a very good price for the weight and size) But some of the boxes corners like vf-1s box is not looking too good. I would've prefer they use a wider style box like what they normally do. This is more of a unboxing of the shipping box, huh? kinda?

Knowing that most of the items there are expensive, you should've break it into 3-4 packages just to maximize your insurance coverage. I'm sure I'm going to be in panic mode if something happened to them while in transit since everything is fitted in Tetris style. Hehehe. But still, that's one pile of loot you have there.

But still, that's one pile of loot you have there. yeah, the price was too good, I ended up buying another one. HLJ credit is just as good as cash for me. Yup, with it packed like that , a big drop or kick, or a box corner falling on it , would definitely damage the item on the other side. I play around with the shipping and prices and if I were to ship it out in 2 boxes, it would be about 3000 yen more. I normally save on shipping whenever possible, the money I saved over the years is suppose to be my own backup coverage if needed. I do lots of sal small packet registers, then EMS, then FEDEX, or DHL. But I do plan according depending on seasons, Christmas, new years, etc. I try not to ship things around those times. or if I do, I would set certain restrictions like, need to get extra insurance, ship all those separately, ship it before or after. Pay ems so I won't be stuck in their blacklog carts for 1 month around christmas.
Slave IV Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Great haul! I sometimes spend hours messing with shipping options to get the lowest price. Usually, I find using multiple, smaller boxes is cheaper than one big box. It just depends but I think the most I ever spent on a single box was around 70,000 yen.
anubis20 Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Thats what i hate about HLJ, they ship $1000 plus of toys with no padding or anything. How do they expect a box to travel halfway around the world and not get damaged.
Kanedas Bike Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 my jaw literally hit the floor looking at all of that @F360. Very nice - indeed -b.
