Tking22 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 I got the request for additional shipping as well, I just paid it. One Roy 1S from NY, EMS to the US, they needed another $10, which isn't much, but WTF? I'm not just made out of $10 frakking dollars. I placed and paid for my order months ago, I believe the same day it went up, if I don't get that stupid little stand I'm gonna be pissed. Quote
Lolicon Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Got the same email and an invoice for $11 for ems shipping. Nuts to that. Asked them to change to SAL shipping. Already too expensive as it is. Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 That is odd. I paid my Roys off awhile ago from NY. I just got a processing email the other day and a shipping email today. No requests for additional payment Quote
jenius Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Maybe there was a span of time where they just had the wrong price on their site? Maybe everyone who isn't getting the invoice didn't order during the window when the shipping price was wrong? Or maybe it depends on which side of whatever country you're in. Quote
F360 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Here's the pricing from japan post. VF-1S with packaging /shipping box should be just under 1200g Pricing for EMS is 2800yen The weight can go all the way to 1500g and the price will still be 2800yen Weight 1501g to 1750g = 3600 yen Weight 1751g and over = 4000 yen So they definitely should have about 300gram to play with at the 2800 yen price. But then this is N-Y so they would like to get you on shipping too. They probably shipped a bunch out and notice what they are charging and what they are paying to japan post is too close for profit. placing all their unshipped VF-1S on hold, emailing extra weight invoices , waiting for suppose planned profit.

Lolicon Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 They said I could change to SAL then promptly sent me an invoice for 480 yen. WTF? Even SAL shipping is now higher than the previous EMS price? That's such BS. Quote

Lolicon Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) what was the original ems shipping price? $19.09 paid last year. Edited April 20, 2016 by Lolicon Quote
Roy Focker Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 My shipping charge when I preordered was $15+ with SAL. Haven't got a shipped notice or a request for more money yet. Quote
F360 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 incoming pics for the just release HI-Metal Roy release. (from 2chan) Packaging is the same as Hikaru. The extra Stage stand has it's own box. Quote
calubin_175 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 No VF-1J Max, just the sand brown fodder version due for September. Quote
jenius Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) No VF-1J Max, just the sand brown fodder version due for September. I thought the previous page had a VF-1J Max with a placard that said "September" on it? I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's a TV version of Focker in the future given his popularity and the DYRL box art. Edited April 20, 2016 by jenius Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 i smell rip off Mirage stealing Jetfire (picture from GAF) Quote
jenius Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Bandai really needs to work out a deal with TakaraTomy to do a dual Macross/Transformer Masterpiece release... but that'd need to be DX. Quote
Sandman Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 I have 2 on order. I got notice one had shipped at 10pm tonight. The other is still being prepared which is strange since I ordered them at the same time. Looking at the order page I see they shipped the sal one. The other is ems. I'm guessing they're going to try to get me with the extra charge otherwise I don't see why they are waiting on second vf. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Reliable info: sept release is vf 1A Wasn't the VF-1J Max slated for a September release? Quote
abbadon Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Yup seems to be the VF-1A according to Tamashii Website. http://tamashii.jp/special/pickup/201609fsvf/ Quote
calubin_175 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) So no super pack and about 1000 yen cheaper than the Strike Valkyrie? Maybe super pack as web exclusive. Looks like they will keep the package small and encourage army building. Edited April 20, 2016 by calubin_175 Quote
Big s Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Cf tv 1a non super. I don't think that was even on the list. The 1a I was hoping for was the super pack from the movie teased a while ago. Maybe the Max with the September release tag is a web exclusive, or maybe we will be getting more than one a month since the Max has the super pack and the 1a is just a small release. I looked at the picture a bit closer and it has the movie pilot and square hands, so why no super pack? Quote
spanner Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Is it just me or does the HMR VF-1A CF have a very Yamato v1 look about it!? Quote
barurutor Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 7346 yen from taghobby (thru Macross Fans of Malaysia FB group) Quote
Old Man Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Hmmm...no FPs... Too bad the the original FPs don't match the HMR FPs, or I'd have a few of these covered Is Roy's VF-1S really darker than Hikaru's??? Quote
koonfasa Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) That'll be nice. I'd like to get all three modes with the same variant but just can't seem to do it with the armoured one... Really oughta renumber a couple of them. i smell rip off Mirage stealing Jetfire (picture from ) I got pretty excited when I saw those! Edited April 20, 2016 by koonfasa Quote
barurutor Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Bad-ass Armored 1J squad, too bad all of them have "1" on the chest Quote
Lolicon Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Just watched episode 3. Was wondering where that picture was from. Guess Bandai can now release a DX VF-1EX. I'm very curious to see how it'll compare to the Yamato VF-1. Quote
technoblue Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Thinking about it, I'm not as excited for a 1A CF in this scale as I would be to get a Max (anything). I'm going to sit this one out and wait for the next HM-R announcement. And it will be cool if Max turns out to be an exclusive. Hopefully N-Y will be able to estimate the shipping costs accurately for everyone! Quote
koonfasa Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Yeah red and blue would be nice too. I was just thinking, is that a spoiler? Edited April 20, 2016 by koonfasa Quote
calubin_175 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Both Armored VF-1J and Monster have the problem of having fixed number marking to avoid army building. Quote
Roy Focker Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Still no new shipping charges or shipped notice from them either. Glad to see the Brownie is coming. I will most likely get it. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Still no new shipping charges or shipped notice from them either. Glad to see the Brownie is coming. I will most likely get it. Release date ? Quote
