But unfortunately MyKombini is being a-holes about this and I'm done with it. Paypal reimbursed me for shipping prior to shipping it out just now and they are going to receive the item back. And I'm going to buy my dozens upon dozens of valkyries elsewhere. I dropped those d***s at MyKombini a nice little unformal letter in the box and sealed it up. This b**** is going out tomorrow morning. Yep paypal dropped a nice chunk of $ change into my account for me and I printed the label out. I definitely have found better deals elsewhere. I don't need MyKombini. BTW LAST but not least!!! thanks for all your moral support. AND THANK YOU for posting news on which toys are being released and a special thanks to the Original Poster (aka OP!) Thanks guys. edit: re-ordered from a better site for the same price. hopefully all goes well. thanks again. Not adding to the fire but you mean to say MK sent you a copy that had its canopy taped without any pilot and double armor parts! Was the package in also a sh*tty condition too? Was it pre owned?

Was the package in also a sh*tty condition too? Was it pre owned? Package was fine. I still have a photo of the double tapes, actually Peeled off the tape and it is still stuck to my desk right next to me. And btw, I did notice that both Akira and SDF Macross had references to the Nagasaki and Hiroshima nuclear detonations in them. So I guess it is a culture thing. Quote
enphily Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 @amptor i don't know your reasons and i don't care. I'm Russian and i have no hatred to you or anyone else (maybe just to my government), but politics and history in your post is big offtopic and i don't know wtf it's doing here. Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Guys, we really just need to drop this topic and move forward. Quote
mpower1226 Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Lol lets just stay on topic of the reseller mykombini. As i stated earlier, mykombini was not communicating about this issue and when he did, he simply asked me to return the item and would not cover the shipping fee. That's when i took matters into my own hands and went straight to Bandai. Fought them good and won. Just today, went to local post office to pick up the armor parts from Bandai(bandai sent to teso.com and teso shipped out). They supplied me with both left and right calf armors. Finally i just assembled the super pack on vf1a. Looks good! Quote
jenius Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 To be fair to Mykombini, their website says that that is their policy. They do refunds but you're responsible for shipping costs. Quote

Did you deal with Bandai from Japan or USA? Can you provide the email address you corresponded with in your attempt to get the parts? Did you work with any particular Bandai representative or department? Also, did Bandai request any proof that you owned and/or purchased the HMR VF-1A? Pretty sure there are alot of folks here that would like to give the direct Bandai resolution a try. Quote

They were suppose to cover the shipping cost the first time according to their rules and they told me, I had to dispute the shipping charge with paypal the first time around because they wouldn't honor it. And I got it. They are probably just tired of making mistakes and want to put the blame on the buyer. I'll just buy dozens of valkyries elsewhere. I was only upset with MyKombini for about 5 minutes and then went on to rant. Quote

This is bandai japan. No email provided, i contacted them themrough their customer service page. https://support-bandai.secure.force.com/bandaien/ No particular rep that i dealt with as this is done through the inquiry page. I had to take the pics of the 7 ditgit numbers on the box and send them. Through the number they were able to track where the item was sold from. They specifically told me that this was an exception as they do not support out of country customers and that these items are sold for domestic customer only. They were very clear that they will not ship outside of japan. I recommand you get a forwarder. Hope that helps. Quote

They must have changed that recently then because when I started haggling with them over this, they had it stated that they pay for the return and I have a log of them stating that to me too for the order. They deleted my account but didn't realize that I kept *.PDF of all communication. But oh well it's over with. My new VF-1A already shipped and will be here in about 2 months. I can wait. I don't really care. Also they cancelled 3 pre-orders on VT-1's that I hadn't paid for yet. I was waiting for them to straighten this out. And also was ready for them to f*** it up which they did so gladly I did not pay them a dime for those. Edited June 20, 2018 by amptor Quote

Plus appears that 11 people can't handle the truth. Btw, VF-1A Cannon Fodder is the one that brought up the war, not me I just added to conversation. It appears that many people here are trying instigate this as a racism show which it isn't. But I would have to say that Japan did fight with honor. After all, they were persistant and would not let up. Anyways, maybe tell people not to start a conversation in the first place if you don't want that to occur. Edited June 20, 2018 by amptor Quote

Podtastic Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Is there any news on upcoming non-Valkyrie Macross HMRs? Or the VF2SS Nex? Edited June 21, 2018 by Podtastic Quote

easnoddy Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 All we have on the docket is the VT-1 for August? That's a low priority item for me, bbut I'm getting it. I miss the days when i had the VF-1S strike, glaug and monster on preorder. Come on Bandai! I'd even settle for more Dougram. Or Mospeada or Orguss. Quote

Evidently I prefer to be late to the party and pay overinflated market prices for stuff. But who knows, maybe I'll try this "stay informed" approach and see how it works. Quote

Lolicon Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 All this talk of messed up leg armors prompted me to finally open up my Hikaru 1A and check the leg parts. Whew! Got the proper leg armors, but the left calf was attached to the right leg armor, and vice versa. Strange. Quote
General Rasp Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Come on Bandai, announce we are getting the Tomahawks this christmas. Quote
