Major Focker Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 cool, what service did you use to bid/ship to SG? sorry, OT, but just ROFL at your username. wish i came up with something as clever
Falcon18 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 cool, what service did you use to bid/ship to SG? Used http://buyee.jp/ after reading from advice given by people in the market watch thread. Was recommended by Major Focker ^ Lol. It seems the easiest to use out of all the proxies that I've read on and doesn't require a deposit for you to bid on. You only pay when you win something unlike others that requires deposit. That was main reason why I used it. There may be another proxy that does this but I haven't seen any.
barurutor Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Thanks for the replies, guys. @Major Focker, you have a very cool username as well My VF-1S TV with option parts arrived this morning. Super quick EMS shipping from Japan.
bbrain Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 VF-1S Super TV Finally found one for a decent price. First yamato. Hopefully it's all good. Will be awhile till it ships. Can't wait. what is your total cost with buyee for that, bidding cost, shipping, and shipping to US?
Falcon18 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Total bidding + commissions, etc goes up to 16700 yen. Shipping to SG not known yet. I'll only find out when it gets to their warehouse which they say make take up to two weeks depending on seller.
barurutor Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I paid 2400yen for EMS shipping to SG, took 2 days from the store to my doorstep.
lancalot Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) These came today....thanks to OptionZero for the VF11C love it Edited October 28, 2013 by lancalot
XFJ-01A Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Recent goodies. Aah! Where did you find that Renewal 25G?
wmkjr Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Aah! Where did you find that Renewal 25G? Is that a renewal?
Gakken85 Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Congrats on the 11c Lancalot! One of the best yamato pieces. I just put mine on a flightpose Edited October 28, 2013 by Gakken85
lancalot Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 thanks man... yeah my Vf25g isn't a renew but it got a blue tornado pack which i love
wmkjr Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Okay, got it. Wish they made it for the renewals..
barurutor Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 My renewal VF-25G shipping today from Buyee (thanks Falcon18 for the Buyee tip!). There are still several VF-25G renewal available on Yahoo Auctions several available on Yahoo Auctions but the average price have gone up significantly.
Falcon18 Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Cool. How much did you get it for? And don't thank me. Thank Major Focker for tipping me to tip you!
barurutor Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) I won the auction at 21263JPY/~270SGD. After Buyee fees+shipping+package protection, final total was 28409JPY/~360SGD. I could've saved roughly SGD20 on shipping by excluding the package protection, but I had no idea how well the original seller packed it for shipping Elapsed time: 4-5 Days. I won the auction on the 27th, it arrived at Buyee yesterday and could've been shipped by EMS then but I added package protection which took 1 business day. So, it should arrive in SG around Sunday/Monday I suppose. To compare, the cheapest VF-25G I've seen in a local hobby store is 400SGD/US$313.78 (Robo-Robo). Even Ebay is more expensive once international shipping's factored in. Edited November 1, 2013 by barurutor
Falcon18 Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Ah.. My 1S came to the warehouse yesterday too. Haven't shipped it yet though. I requested for a photo of my package to see how well the seller packed the item to decide whether I wanna add package protection. Still waiting for them to reply before I decide to ship it. Shipping is what's made the package expensive so I wanna save what I can if possble.
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Aah! Where did you find that Renewal 25G? Auction service. Not Mandarake, but one of the other ones (can't remember at the moment). Edited November 1, 2013 by funkymonkeyjavajunky
Falcon18 Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) This just came in tonight. My first Yammie woo. Fast shipping, took about 2 days from day of shipping. No added protective packaging from Buyee. The seller did a great job packing it. Thick layer of bubble wrap with some newspaper inside the box itself Box is minty too. Crappy phone images incoming. Edited November 6, 2013 by Falcon18
barurutor Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 That's awesome! The Yamato v2s are really fun to transform and pose. My 25G renewal finally arrived after a ~6 hour tour of SG with the delivery truck Buyee shipped it last Monday evening. Thing was ridiculously well-packaged, I try to post pics later.
Falcon18 Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Our valks might have been in the same plane and truck!

Falcon18 Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 They were *supposed* to. They sent me an email saying that the attached images to said email but I couldn't find any. By this time I decided to just take the risk and hope the seller packed it decently and ship the item. Sent them another after.. no reply since. Package arrived nice and safe anyway, so no complaints.
