spacemanoeuvres Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Yeah the 1/60 sensor is a little nicer because it's behind clear plastic. The hips and waist are better on the HMR though. Quote

I'm sure it's not by BOAT. Yes HLJ may ship by boat if you pick the cheaper options. I accidentally chose the one without a tracking number once and it took almost 3 months for it to arrive in my country. And the Philippines is very close to Japan. I was 3 days away from demanding a full refund from HLJ because I had no idea where my order was and if it was even still coming. Fortunately for them I got the notice from my PO 3 days before the 3 months were up. They told me that when you pick SAL, it's basically like a "ship if it can fit", and has the lowest priority. If there's not enough space for my package, it'll have to wait until the next shipment. Quote
sh9000 Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Looks like a custom Low Vis can be made from the remaining parts after I swap the ones I need from the VE-1 for customizing. Edited August 31, 2017 by sh9000 Quote

I wish it could.....actually....that would be a great custom accessory.....extra pilots and a canopy modified to allow headroom for the pilots...... Quote
Roy Focker Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 I understand getting the cheaper airmail means it might take extra time to fly my Defender from Japan to the USA. But why did the post office keep my Defender in one location for 2 business days after it cleared customs? It wasn't being held during the weekend or a holiday. They picked it up from customs and sat just on it. Quote

They will always focus on the priority deliveries especially if they have to pay out by not meeting guarantees. A lot of POs will also run short if staff members call in sick, thus pulling people from non-essential (to them) duties. I do not know if this is the reason in your case but from my experience working for a courier years ago, this was usually the case. Quote

sh9000 Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Just bought another CF VF-1A earlier this morning. I still can't resist the cheap prices that some of the VF-1's are still going for. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) I'm tempted to pickup more as well. I love brownies Cheapest I saw was $65 shipped on evilbay Edited August 31, 2017 by spacemanoeuvres Quote

It seems to be that prices have been climbing on the CF, and I haven't seen any lately (on Ebay at least) for less than $85 shipped. Quote

I liked the green on the defender and the olive drab on the Tomahawk because they look like ww2 colors and the defender guns look like ww2 anti aircraft turrets. Quote
Chronocidal Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 So, roughly 8 hours until the VE-1 goes on sale? Time to start warming up my refresh reflexes. Quote
lavinrac Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Which stores still allow multiples? I'm seriously considering getting two of this. Quote
derex3592 Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Well, as much as i sorta kinda want to get the VE-1, wedding budget is freakin killing me right now, so I'm gonna have to sit this one out guys. I've got the Yamato V2 so I'm good. Good luck to all who are going for the pre-order tonight! I'll survey the carnage of battle tomorrow morning from work! Quote

iguanaman8989 Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Since my Lill Draken set shipped and is en route, I decided now would be a good time to see about getting my unpaid preorder for Messer's VF-1S cancelled from N-Y. Given the stories about occasionally shutting down accounts, I wanted to make sure that my exclusive item was already shipped before poking at it. I preordered at HLJ, so that I'd be able to combine for shipping with other September purchases. Turns out they cancelled no problem in the time it took me to type up this comment. Quote
sh9000 Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Getting some sleep now. I'll be ready to preorder later tonight. Quote
Roy Focker Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 It's tonight? Isn't it? Okay I'm not going to bed. Quote

That way your body will tell you to wake up. Quote
