Pontus Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 After all the Mandarake love here, I registered and went to buy something for only 6000yen. It's in about a 19x8x6 box, and the shipping came up at a whopping 7300yen for EMS!!! Is that normal?

Expand Yes, nothing is for certain I finally just ordered a ML Nakia to be able to complete the Okoye BAF. Saw it sitting on shelves for years but wanted a deal. When I figured I wasn't getting one, I went to try to buy it recently and of course they were all gone now. Luckily, I found a listing on ebay where it was on sale and I got my deal after all!

Expand It also depends of the weight of the item as well that is tacked on top of the shipping charges. Manda's FAQ - under Shipping has that covered.

Y7300 EMS according to JapanPost going to the US is a 6kg (13.22 lbs) package. Edited April 5, 2019 by no3Ljm

Expand Depends on the weight....usually Valks cost me around 4000-5000 shipped SAL so EMS will obviously be more expensive.
Sanity is Optional Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 I typically go for SAL from Mandarake, and then tell them 'if it doesn't fit SAL, go for cheaper of EMS or DHL. I also tro to throw some other things in the box as well, just since shipping only 1 item is hugely expensive, relative to the item price.

Side note: seller on Amazon is "Horse and Rider Tack"? I guess It's back to ebay. I only just found out about the existence of this figure and want one badly. I was going to get the Chogokin version until I saw reviews that it was a pos and really small. Edited April 5, 2019 by Pontus

Lolicon Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 If you want to save on shipping costs, you can just fly to Japan and pick it up in person from Mandarake.

Lolicon Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 It took over 20 years but we finally got *a* release of at least one of the mecha from Xenogears. Hope they release the others.
Sanity is Optional Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Honestly, I have the DX Chogokin Gipsy Danger and it's pretty hefty and solid. There are some issues, like relatively low articulation, and the forearm armors don't attach securely however.

borgified Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 From Amiami 52toys Beastbox BB-08 Iceqube Penguins (did a quick background mock up).
Pontus Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) I've had the best Friday. My Freyja and VFG finally showed up today, and my new SDF-1 came a couple of days ago. I did already open the SDF-1, but haven't played with it until today so I could take pics of it all and share it with you. The Freyja is to replace the G in VFG with the appropriate girl. Might not work, but I'm gonna try. The SDF-1 isn't in the nicest shape, but the stickers have never been applied, and nothing important is broken (the torpedos are missing, but I don't need those silly things, lol). It's a bit yellowed, but I think I might be able to fix that. I've seen some others doing awesome detail work on this toy which is what inspired me to get one. Edited April 6, 2019 by Pontus

Unfortunately, Blade falls into the category of characters I don't have an $80+ budget for (unless there is something else special enough for me to bite). I'm ok with my ML version for now.
