bleecher Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Anyone ever have any issues shipping via ferry? Thinking about switching over as who knows when the US will open again for deliveries. Quote

Now I just have to wait two months for it to get to Seattle, WA. I took the ferry option. Expand Nice. The way things are going, you might even get yours before some of us get an answer on our UPS shipping upgrade request! Quote
scand Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Oh Yeah, it shipped! The next couple of days are going to suck because of all the anticipation... I'm not even going to be able to work! Quote

Mommar Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 That weather delayed shipping by nineteen hours. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 FedEx lied to me. They said delivered within the next hour, but it hasn’t even reached customs yet. Expecting it Thurs/Fri at this point. Quote
Carceroth Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) So my thoughts? It's awesome. This Valk surpasses its predecessor and almost every valkyrie after. No overly tight or loose parts everything felt great to transform no paint chipping or anything. Most of all it is GORGEOUS. Get it if you can. Edited July 1, 2020 by Carceroth Quote

Alphahorizon Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Just got notice from NY to pay additional costs for UPS. So I assume soon it will ship out. Quote

All in my quest to make sure I actually got a single one... There's also 4x DX Yf-19 figures, 2EA of DX VF-1S and VF-1A, and both PF and non-PF SDF-1s. Btw you've totally inspired me, need to do a Kairos+VF-0D shelf with the 2 PF 0Ds I have on order. Quote

Snagged them off AmiAmi during a big collection dump from corona. I paid way over MSRP but I still sold it for more than I paid and that money went towards the 0D so it was worth it. It works because its the alpha and omega. The progenitor and top of the line. They both have delta wings too so I think they fit together quite well. Quote
Bahamutzyro Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Just got the notice to pay 4900 yen for ups shipping. So 96.00 to ship this valk to New York from NIppon Yassan Quote

Will definitely be doing Gerwalk. Hands down. I do dig Shin next to Kairos but don't want to mess up my Delta display haha! Quote
RIBFIR Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Those displays look great guys! Just got my shipping notice from NY via UPS yay! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 What is the actual base color of the belly? Pure white, or light grey? (ignoring the weathering). Compared to the tailhook, it looks grey in carceroth's pics, which is a pleasant surprise. Quote
Lolicon Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Some more pics of this lovely bird. Also bluetacked the pilots into their seats so they wouldn't jostle around. Quote

Expand It isn’t a dark blue/pure white contrast like what we got with the original release. I’ve been looking at mine side by side since I have both and it’s like looking at two completely different 0D liveries. The review that @kkx posted has a good comparison.

bleecher Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 I've messaged N-Y about changing my shipping options as well for this figure. They got back to me on separate tickets for the SSP but have so far ignored this message. Quote
Dobber Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Omg....I just went to NY and bought one of these things. Yikes! It is so pretty. So shipping is either the cheap but slow Ferry or super expensive but fast UPS right? Everything else EMS and any JP post that is airmail is suspended right? Even the registered SAL that still showed Air? I went with Ferry as I this is already expensive enough and didn’t want to spend another $100 for shipping, bit it’s gonna suck waiting 2-3 months. The shipping issue info was kind of confusing, and I was just going off of what you all where saying. Chris Quote

jenius Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 LOL, how do I switch my language back to English at NY? Quote
Lolicon Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 45k at Mandarake. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1142351638&ref=list&keyword=マクロス Quote
