Thessair Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) I managed to grab another missile set off Amazon JP for $60 shipped. I really hadn't anticipated how difficult it might be to get more of these. I figured quantities would probably be low, it being a TWE and all, but the price is skyrocketing faster than I thought it might. Heck, there is only one set on YJA right now.

auberondreaming Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 What is up with NY trying to screw people with the currency conversion? They want $80 US for this shipped, you choose the yen and go to PayPal it goes down to $71, more than 10% off. Wow. Quote

I was finally able to get my Milia set up last night, and have them both with super parts on. But the bare fighters look just as good, especially with those TV missiles. Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Quick pic for now. I need to get my good camera out and do some better ones soon. Quote
jenius Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I'm fairly sure we'll see knock off missile effects like we saw knock off explosions and stands. Quote
tekering Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Oh, are we posting random M&M pics now? 'Cause I also prefer them without the FAST packs. Quote

I'm not too worried about my shipment but you got charged 1000 extra? How many sets did you buy? Loving all the M&M pics! Quote

Atheonyirh Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 MyKombini finally shipped my two missile sets. As far as I can tell they only ship out web exclusive stuff once a month. It's been a consistent end of the month/early following month thing even when, say, the item comes out middle of the month like the missile effects did. Quote

Streetlights, foliage, traffic lights, signage, people... Lots of detail to be added yet. And then, of course, I've got to begin distressing the buildings... Adding rubble and debris... Smashed buildings, broken glass... It's all still too clean and colorful...! To be continued... Quote

It's not bad but the problem I have with it is their slow response time. They take days to request extra payment, then take another few days to actually ship out the item. Quote

It's another way of topping up their profits, on top of their over-priced shipping rates gimmick Quote

It's another way of topping up their profits, on top of their over-priced shipping rates gimmick Yep, it's also best to use a cc with no foreign transaction fee and some type of rewards. Also use your credit cards conversion rate instead of PayPal's. Can't tell you how much money I wasted on cc and PayPal foreign transaction/conversion fees before getting setup properly Could have bought an extra dx 1/60 or hmr monster lol Edited May 3, 2017 by spacemanoeuvres Quote
Slave IV Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 I love how NY is always villianized everywhere. They offer the lowest preorder prices for most items, even after adding shipping charges, they still end up around the same or lower than most other shops without shipping. But yeah, they are terrible thieves out to steal your money Every other shop has unfavorable conversion rates too if you use them for conversion. Like mentioned, always pay in yen and let your card do the conversion, which will be the current rate. Even if you have fees, it will be better. Quote

Saburo Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Awesome diorama @tekering! I want to ask when you are working on city diorama do you feel the urge to put on a Godzilla costume and stand over it and roar? I know I would want to do that. Quote

eXis10z Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) So I totally had no intention of getting the Messer vf-1. But I saw it available at NY and for no apparent reason place one in my cart and before I realize, I've purchased it. Edited May 3, 2017 by eXis10z Quote
iguanaman8989 Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 I ended up cancelling my preorder for Max back before release, deciding that I needed a consistent scale for my collection, which has worked with the upcoming M&M Arcadia release. Tonight I caved on the Messer figure, I really like the way the color scheme works on it, more so than on the 31F (being less than half the price also helps) I really need to stop coming to these forums so much....
