easnoddy Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) I wonder why can't they include the VF-1A Head in hikaru VF-1S or max as well. Would also need to include "001" stickers, color-matched to the plastic. I'm all for it. Also, they should throw in the "black"/chromed feet with the VF-1A CF. They're on little ball-joints, so it'd be a no-big-deal switch. Edited April 25, 2016 by easnoddy Quote
CoreyD Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I paid and just asked does this mean I'm getting a stand. I'm seeing a bunch of different extra shipping fee quotes. Informal survey. Let's compare orders. Mine 1x VF-1S without Stand $15+change for Sal Registered to the US. Extra Charge $6. That's about the same cost for me, though I ordered early enough that I'm supposed to get the stand. (I probably won't end up with a stand) Quote

Mechapilot77 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 i both HATE and like NY. realistically with web store an other exclusives its practically the only game in town (there are some less deireable options too sometimes). they completely raped me this time though. so i preorderd two of these early enough to get the stands. I ASSUME the extra shipping is due to additional boxes associated with the stands but am unsure as they have not confirmed whether or not I will get stands. i asked on thursday and its still not answered. They did however take the time to invoice me for more shipping....and its not the $4-10 most of you are seeing. Its an additional 2500 yen. So....in the end i'll be paying something like 5040 Yen to get this shipped to me....ECO REGISTERED. this isn't even EMS folks! i wrote them a scathing "i'm pissed off about this" type of notice in my existing open ticket item question about the stands...lets see if either the stands question or the complaint about costs gets answered. this additiaonl cost is totally on them. i also noted i will be paying attention to the shipping paperwork to see waht the actual shipment cost was. NY will continue to be my LAST RESORT. i am thankful they exist so i can get stuff but maybe its just better to wait for stuff to show up on EBAY in the future. all said and done i think each valk is gonna cost me over $130....i could have firggen got a yamato for that. ugh.

Kanedas Bike Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Hahaha, b, did you end up getting a roy? Yep, picked it up from the post office about 40 minutes ago. I'll open it once I get home from lunch. Now I'm more curious about whether or not I get a stand. I think I may try to hunt down a second copy though, we'll see. And my thoughts are pretty on-par with Mechapilot's, but I've past the emotional stage where N-Y pisses me off, I just shrug and figure it's the cost of doing business with them. There have been a few things I've wanted that N-Y would have been a viable option for, however because of my mild-dislike for them I decided not to pre-order - mostly SH Figuarts stuff. Kudos to Bandai for including the parts for the TV and DYRL Cannon Fodder. I'll definitely be picking up a few of those, especially to bring one to work to put on my desk. -b. Quote
sh9000 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I wonder why can't they include the VF-1A Head in hikaru VF-1S or max as well. For a VF-1S Max with an alternate VF-1A head, they'd have to include a black heat shield as well. Quote
F360 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Anyone ordered two with the stand instructed to be sent in Eco SAL? I can't believe why the my shipping is 2290 yen + 2700 yen to Australia. Eco Sal is Sal small packet , so if you order 2 Roy with stands , the size and weight will exceed the 90cm size and or 2000g. Once it goes over those you will be in parcel Sal , which is more expensive. When that happens you should switch to EMS instead, it'll probably be cheaper and faster . Quote
Tking22 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 My Roy got delivered but I can't crack into him until I get home tonight from work, I got the stand too. Quote
technoblue Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I'm beginning to think everyone will get that silly stand from N-Y. So far, two of us have eyes on the stand. KB has yet to look inside the box. KB, ignore Morgan Freeman and look in the box! Quote
atreyu2112 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I got mine Saturday from NY. The Valk/strike package is inside another box. That box, along with the stand package is inside yet another larger box, which is about the size of 2 Valk boxes atop one another. And then that is what is wrapped & boxed for shipping. So it really is much larger than the previously released valks. I can understand why it was more. Quote
Roy Focker Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 That's fine provided everyone who is paying more gets a stand. Quote

Wasn't paying attention to this thread (forgot I had PO'd this) till I got an email from NY to pay more. 10120yen 1x VF-1S with stand 2340yen JP post airmail registered 700yen extra Quote

no3Ljm Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I have no skin in this game but maybe the shipper box is sized the same regardless of whether you got the stand or not? Actually this release has bigger shipper box within a shipper box. I forgot who posted the photos of all the shipper box included. i get roy! i don't need to be sad any more Congrats David! Quote

technoblue Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 My bad. Sorry technoblue. No worries. I thought the timing of our messages was a funny coincidence. Quote
walawala Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I received the notification from N-Y about the extra payment for shipping even though it is Eco Sal... so I paid 8 dollars and kept the same method. I thought it was only related to EMS. Quote
jenius Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Ugh, NY sent me a bad invoice for the full amount (rather than the difference) and hasn't corrected it yet. Strange to really want to pay for an order but have a hard time doing so. Quote
Duymon Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) I hope the production TV pilot isn't so tiny It's that tiny. The legacy hi metal hikaru and max had this microscopic tv pilot. They are reusing the mold it seems Edited April 26, 2016 by Duymon Quote
treatment Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 So now Bandai will provide: -- both hand style -- both head style -- both pilots style I wish they just get rid of that useless and fugly "small-wings" crap, and provide the black feet option instead. Quote
sh9000 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 and provide the black feet option instead. Nope. Quote
Old Man Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 I'm actually a fan of the "small wings" option. Quote
yman1437 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 I just paid 2500yen... for two. No mention of stand.....

sh9000 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Was about to order another one but then I cleared the cart. I'll stick to my 2 that are coming in. Quote
MAC-X Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Finally, a "Preparation in progress" notification from NY Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Roy's back up at NY. awesome thanks! Quote
Loop Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 I am so glad David found a Roy or a few. I was feeling so bad about it, I was actually contemplating letting one go. Maybe I should start ordering things in 3's now Quote
F360 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 , now that it's still available , I'm tempted to get another one, but I should probably use that money for the Arcadia 1/60 instead. Quote
