Just throw it in the back behind all the other stuff we're not shipping out. I was just thinking the same thing lol I should probably write them a ticket and ask them to ship all my stuff via surface mail. Quote
jenius Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 My surface mail super parts haven't shipped yet... I think you slide further down the priority list when you use surface. Quote
sqidd Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Inspired by the "Where is your airplane peasants?" meme. Just pokin fun. Jokes people, jokes. Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Cool, this means I can have it shipped alongside my extra missile sets from FromJapan. Who knows when the one from NY via surface will show up. Quote
rdrunner Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Saw this announcement in a Chinese Macross FB group. Apparently the PF VF-0D will be shipped to distributors starting 26 June. Aaannd that means I have to beg NY to see if they will be willing to upgrade my EMS shipping (already paid for) to DHL, and of course, at a cost. Quote

It’s UPS or I think FedEx if you want expensive services and Ferry if you want cheap. Quote
Lolicon Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Sweet! Can't wait till it's ready for shipping. That said, I'm not looking forward to the shipping cost. Given the size and weight of an Arcadia VF-0, DHL or Fedex shipping to the USA is going to be over 10000 yen, easily. EDIT: Took the size and weight listed on HLJ for the PF VF-0S and plugged it into From Japan's shipping calculator and it gave me these results (does not include proxy and domestic shipping fees): Surface: 2350 Fedex: 4627 DHL: 6760 Seems a bit on the low side, I think.

FromJapan gave me an estimate of 22,000 (5,500/) to ship four in one box so I think that 6,750 jives. Quote

David Hingtgen Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Still hoping they're release a "decent/mediocre" finish at some point. Basically "this time it's molded in the right colors, but without doubling the price through weathering and panel-lining". Quote
treatment Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 well, for those getting this uber expensive valk, just hope it doesn't have two left feet or self-distructing hip-joints or, heaven forbid, new Arcadia fatality shenanigans... Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 I'm hopeful that the necessity of doing a full weathering+coating job will mean these have been inspected quite closely. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) That looks pretty sweet to me. Here's hoping that and the Yahoo Japan auction I just won hit FromJapan soon so I can ship. Edited June 26, 2020 by Sanity is Optional Quote
rdrunner Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 OMG OMG it’s finally out! now it’s a waiting game to beg NY to upgrade my shipping to UPS and send it to me... Quote
Lolicon Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 FedEx shipping from From Japan was 9523 plus 700 yen handling. Now the waiting game begins... Quote
sqidd Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Four VF-0D's (one for @Rogueload) inbound from From Japan. This is the most excited I have been about a release. Maybe because it took so long. DHL was only $58.98/unit. Not too shabby. They're supposed to ship 6/30. Fingers crossed on sooner! Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Mine just showed there as well, but still waiting for a Yahoo Japan Auction item to show before I ship. Oh well, what's a day or two? As expected no word from Nippon Yasan on the one I ordered from them (with surface shipping). Quote

tekering Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Well, look what the cat dragged in... Dayum. Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Panel lining's a bit sloppy, but the shading looks great, as does the color. Quote

Lolicon Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Looks good. Guess my old OD will be relegated to battroid duty. She's too lovely to transform and scratch up. Quote
