spanner Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 It says in stock 3-5 days..? Would they definitely have or be getting them? Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 For what it's worth, I think it swapped to in stock late on Monday or on Tuesday. I think odds are good you'll get one if you order it. Quote
spanner Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 What's their refund policy like? In case it falls through if they can't get stock.. Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) My impression from the way the 3-5 day thing works, is that they don't even charge you until it has entered your private warehouse or is ready to ship. Don't quote me on that as I haven't done it myself. Someone else can hopefully clarify. After securing a DX Roy I kind of went a little nuts with purchases I had missed out on. Even though I'm kicking myself for not having a 0D AND I was the one who posted the link, I still haven't pulled the trigger myself. Edited August 5, 2020 by kaiotheforsaken spelling Quote
spanner Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Ahhh what the heck I'm gonna give it a go! If I get one then awesome! If I don't then wot evs.. Can only try right!? Quote
spanner Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Got an order acknowledgement email from HLJ so I'll keep my fingers crossed till they actually ship it! Quote
spanner Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Just got the confirmation now too.. I'm hoping this goes through! Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 I'm thinking you just spent $500 :P Quote
spanner Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Will be on or abouts $800 Aussie dollars depending on shipping.. Haven't actually been charged for it yet tho.. Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 I do think they don't charge you until it's actually ready to ship or hit your PW. So if the timetable is accurate, you'll spend all that in 3-5 days? I'm pretty confident in HLJ coming though, I think it was completely delisted on their site for a while and now it's back. Surely they are able to get stock if they put it back up. Quote
Dobber Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 So any of the other Ferry shippers from NIppon Yasan get an update yet? Mine still nothing after July 8 dispatch from outward office of exchange. Just curious, I know ferry shipping takes a while. Chris Quote

Slave IV Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Yeah, too early to think about it yet but I just checked and it still says dispatched. If it's on the same pace as my last ferry shipments, I'll expect it end of Sept. Anything sooner will be a nice surprise. Quote

The previous thing I had shipped Ferry (from Tenso) just showed up a few days ago after a little over 2months. So I'm expecting it to hit within the next month or so.

F360 Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 here is a example of of the time it leave japan to the time it arrives in the USA by the way, I'm in west-coast but my package was on the ferry that goes to east-coast. Quote
Dobber Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Thanks guys. Only been around 30 days now so another month till port likely. Was just curious. Chris Quote

Valkyrie23 Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 HLJ just confirmed my private warehouse purchase of the VF-0D premium order from when the restock link was posted here a few days ago. Good thing as I was worried as the current link went to discontinued yesterday. Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 I was literally minutes away from convincing myself to do it, then it swapped to discontinued lol. Glad some folks here got to snag them though. I'll keep my eyes open and see if one drifts back into their stock. Quote
spanner Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Payment went through for my VF-0D.. but then I had to pay for shipping which was another nearly 10,000 yen.. No idea when it will ship though.. Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 I caved, lol. I had sold some Transformers over on another board and decided to just go for it. I was gonna pick up some other releases instead, but I love Zero and the designs in it and it just seemed dumb to pass on it while it was available at retail. I don't even want to think about the secondary on this one down the road. In some ways I'm glad I can't even get it shipped atm, saves my wallet the rest of the hit until a little later. Maybe things will even out enough where the 0D and the DX Roy can be shipped together. Quote

No idea when it will ship though.. Yeah, the shipping situation is why I haven't bought much stuff lately. DHL or UPS shipping everything is pretty expensive, so I've limited myself to stuff I absolutely can't miss (like the 0D). Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 I just checked to see what options I had for shipping. DHL was like 65 bucks and I think FedEx was 10 dollars more. I really want to mess with this thing, so I may just bite the bullet. I've had really good experiences with DHL and being able to authorize a package to be left without me being there to sign for it is super nice. Quote
jasonmacross83 Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Bought it as well. Never had to pay that much for shipping though. I am happy to at least own one of these. Been contemplating it for 6 years! Quote
spanner Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 Yeah shipping costs are just ridiculous at the moment.. but what can you do Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 I was going to try and be all patient and maybe combine it with some other stuff I had on pre-order at HLJ. That totally didn't happen lol, I want to see this thing up close and personal. Quote
