F360 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Cdjapan is normally pretty good on shipping out the night of release date, it's the TWE that they do from time to time are the ones that takes a week or so. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 As for Amiami, I haven’t received payment requests for the two separate VF-4 orders for the people I’m still helping out. Quote
kajnrig Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 In case anyone's interested, HLJ's spring sale is going on. I think I saw a HMR VT-1 when I did a quick glance. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 could also be the panel lining not as sharp along with a not so colorful pilot. hmm... i thank you're right. i ordered one from CDjapan so i'll find out once it comes in. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Got the 1/100 F/A-18E today. Having bits of red, I’ll put it with this lineup along with the VF-4. Edited March 20, 2019 by sh9000 Quote
t040484 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I'm really thinking of letting these ones go((HMR VF4 x 2) once I pay for them(don't want to get bad reputation from AmiAmi by cancelling), some surprise expenses pop up for me so I will need to recover some of the cash from this purchase, if I decide to let them go(I hope not) I will sell them for much less of its original price, will let you know guys . Much less original price? Im willing to pay your original price pluss all your shipping expenses. Remember to message me. Quote

sh9000 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 What is that small vf-25? The original hi metal release? It’s from the VF100 line. Quote
Mommar Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Cdjapan is normally pretty good on shipping out the night of release date, it's the TWE that they do from time to time are the ones that takes a week or so. I've not had that experience. CDJ is almost always slow, especially if it's on an item that releases close to a weekend. Quote
F360 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I've not had that experience. CDJ is almost always slow, especially if it's on an item that releases close to a weekend. not sure if the destination or payment have anything to do with it, but here is my recent order history, the older ones don't show on japanpost anymore so I can't use them for reference: MB G X1, 01/26/2019 13:19 Posting/Collection, - rls date 01-26-19 MB E 01 , 02/23/2019 17:09 Posting/Collection, - rls date 02-23-19 DX C VF-1J , 01/02/2019 15:50 Posting/Collection. - rls date 12-29-18 (delay due to extra shipping cost/holiday) DX C YF + MB strike, 09/24/2018 15:16 Posting/Collection, - rls date 09-22-18 (it's a saturday) HI-M R O , 08/13/2018 13:02 Posting/Collection, - rls date 08-11-18 (it's a saturday) DX C VF-31S , 07/21/2018 12:24 Posting/Collection, - rls date 07-21-18 MB FMP IV , 06/30/2018 14:48 Posting/Collection, - rls date 06-30-18 From all the stores they have been the most consistent for me.

jenius Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I switched to them because they were consistently getting things out same day but I feel like my last three orders all had delays of a couple days to a week. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Did you pay with a credit card, and was there an additional shipping charge? I've only had stuff delayed for additional charges, or holidays. Quote
Lolicon Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Delivery times have been terrible ever since the Protoculture Parcel Service ceased operations 500,000 cycles ago. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Got an in stock notice from AE. Just paid and received tracking number a few minutes after. Quote
Alphahorizon Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I'll just wait to either catch someone here selling one for a realistic price or wait a bit for some to go to Mandrake. I've been impressed with both people here and Mandrakes services. Considering I would open a MISB version anyways to fly around, I dont mind it being open. But the pre-sale scalping prices can kiss my grits. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Hurry up AmiAmi!!!! Haven't received a mail asking for payment yet. Quote
rdrunner Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Got an in stock notice from AE. Just paid and received tracking number a few minutes after. me too - I actually forgot that I placed an order with AE (duh) and was surprised that they sent me an in-stock notice. LOL. My other order is with Nin-Nin and I don't expect them to send me shipping notice until next week. Both are being sent by SAL (econ shipping). Quote
Vifam7 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Just for reference, here's a size comparison between the Hi-Metal R and the Wave 1/100 kit. Quote
slide Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Nope. Nothing from AmiAmi here yet. I don't usually hear from them until the item is released... so I'm just going to whistle/twiddle my thumbs, and wait... impatiently... Quote
sh9000 Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Preparation in progress for the VF-4 x6 at NY. Quote
CrossAir Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Preparation in progress for the VF-4 x6 at NY. Yeah, same for my one at NY. Quote
jenius Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 I switch to CDJ because NY started taking forever to ship and now CDJ is slow and steady while NY is on top of it. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 It doesn't release for 2 more days, so I'm not sure why everyone's so worried places haven't shipped out yet. Quote
jenius Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 I wouldn't say worried... but it'd be nice to have two more days to work on a review. Quote
technoblue Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 It doesn't release for 2 more days, so I'm not sure why everyone's so worried places haven't shipped out yet. I’m thinking most places will ship this weekend, even NY who normally takes a few days to change orders from ‘preparation in progress’ to ‘shipped’ status. Let’s ignore outliers like the 31A. So the positive take away here is that the HM-R VF-4 seems to be releasing on schedule. Quote
zgmftestament Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/52039916.html Nuu has a review up. Looks gorgeous, but he mentioned something about the torso transformation not locking in? Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 I switch to CDJ because NY started taking forever to ship and now CDJ is slow and steady while NY is on top of it. jk may your international packages arrive post haste Quote
treatment Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 It doesn't release for 2 more days, so I'm not sure why everyone's so worried places haven't shipped out yet. ++ Kinda amusing that some here seems to go full japan-shops/importing-newbie all of a sudden whenever there's a new Macross toy getting released as scheduled.

davidwhangchoi Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 ++ Kinda amusing that some here seems to go full japan-shops/importing-newbie all of a sudden whenever there's a new Macross toy getting released as scheduled. the funniest is when long time members from 1887 get senile and keep asking the same questions over and over about the staple shops: does your credit card get charged upfront when you pre-order? on another note, when's CDjapan going to ship!?! i'm getting nervous Quote

Your item will then be shipped via the usual gray whale annual migration by CDJ... Quote
