spanner Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 The difference is about $40 to Canada, and they only allow the registered SAL option so it is trackable and insured. The chance of a package getting taxed (15% + $5 fee) by our custom is also around 10% with SAL v.s. 95% with EMS. ahhh ok. So they are more likely to tax you on a parcel imported with EMS rather than SAL.. that's harsh. But if you can get tracking and insurance on an SAL parcel then more than makes up for it. Im glad Australian Customs aren't so fussed on most stuff I buy in.. have been taxed on a few things over the years but never anything to do with my Macross purchase thankfully enough! Quote
F360 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 After I emailed them, CDjapan checked the size and allows SAL on YF-29B now. Thanks to you, I spend my whole work day, looking and thinking, adding to cart, and thinking some more.. i still can't decide. I don't need another yf-29, but the price is really good. arghh.. maybe after dinner. Quote

I don't need another yf-29, but the price is really good. arghh.. maybe after dinner. For that price its hard to not want another! But as nice as the YF-29 is, its one Valkyrie I just don't think I need any doubles of.. Quote
chyll2 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Jungle has 8 pcs of them @ 15876 yen http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=116&do=detail&id=103000007267 looks like waiting can make it more cheap Quote
spanner Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 all "sealed" rated items too! though CDJ still is a better deal.. Quote
chyll2 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 jungle is the better deal for countries that have problems with custom duties Quote
spanner Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Price wise anyways.. not having personally experienced the troubles with the custom duties I wouldn't know who to use or to avoid.. But that is certainly good to know! Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-134477 11 in stock from time of this message. Nice price too Quote
Sandman Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Bandai has totally brainwashed us. Even though i have 3 i'm tempted to pick up another just because it's available. Since Bandai stuff is not usually available to buy at your convenience when they do become available you feel have to quickly grab it. Quote

Even I feel compelled to get another one at that price and the last thing I need is yet another YF-29. Quote

Even I feel compelled to get another one at that price and the last thing I need is yet another YF-29. All we need is discipline. Need to resist the temptation. Hahaha! By the way, I'm curious, since you guys have 2 or 3 YF-29s. Displayed in their respective 3 modes, still what are you planning to do with a fourth one? Quote
Sandman Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 It would actually just sit in a box as a "backup" cuz you know just in case something happens to the others. I'm not actually buying one though. I'm a lttile tight on cash this month. If I wasn't I probably would've broke down and bought one. Quote
chyll2 Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 better save for the release on December/January. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-134477 I was tempted to get another one but decided to just save for other stuff coming out. It's back to regular price now. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 So is there any news about this release getting super parts? Quote
Loop Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Weirdly enough David, I have not heard of an announcement which baffles me. Normally Bandai milks us for all the add on parts. Edited October 19, 2015 by Loop Quote
Scyla Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Weirdly enough David, I have not heard of an announcement which baffles me. Normally Bandai milks us for all the add on parts. Maybe that is a sign that the production of Macross Delta merchandise is in full swing and we won't get any more Frontier releases. Quote
anubis20 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 ...or they are Saving them up for the Tamashii Nations event going on next week Quote
treatment Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Has anyone tried pairing it up with the Ozma-29 super-parts? If so, please post a pic of it so we can see how bad or acceptable the mismatched colors. Quote
treatment Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I have now joined the yf-29 club. Just couldn't resist the previous cdj firesale on it... Quote
spanner Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Nice shot treatment! and congrats on the Percival! Quote
F360 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I have now joined the yf-29 club. Just couldn't resist the previous cdj firesale on it... Yeah, it was a awesome price, I used all my mental power to not click on the last button, with it on my cart for a couple of days. It they didn't also have the Gunbuster sale, I wouldn't have been able to resist the yf-29 price. Quote
spanner Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Meiya makes it better, no? ahh yes definitely she does! she's a babe! Quote
Faboy Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Hey! Would anyone how one goes about getting a replacement canard for this toy? I got mine off E-bay and it arrived with it's right canard missing. Seller says to send it back but don't really want to wait 1 1/2 months for a new toy when perhaps there's a way to get this part (I'll pay for it if I have to) thanks for any input! Quote

Sad to say there isn't any. Direct Japanese companies customer services is only limited for them locally. So if you're outside Japan, there's zero chances that you will get an original replacement part to it. The only solution if you're outside Japan is 3D printing. Though you need to match the paint afterwards. However, if you purchased those from HLJ since they have the best customer service for a Japanese store out there, there's a big chance that they can replace it as long that you sent the item back to them though you have to pay the return shipping somehow. If not, they might do store credit. My advice is, just return it to the seller for a refund or exchange it if he offers any since he already told you so. But just make sure that you ask him to take some photos of a 'complete' set before he ships out the replacement Valk. Hope that helps. Quote

Sorry to hear you received a defective product. As Noel said are options or could you just pull off the other side canard and see how it looks? Though personally id too prefer have it replaced. Hope you can sort something out. Quote
treatment Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Being the only YF-whatever I have, the antenna/head-lasers of my yf-29b is really annoying me now. I think I can straighten it out with a heat gun or something, but still. Quite annoying. Quote
spanner Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I have tried straightening them out several times (without being too forceful of course) but they always seem to bend back to their original shape.. It sucks that Bandai didn't include hard plastic optional parts like they did with other DX Valks? yes is a little annoying.. Quote
derex3592 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I think you can get rigid replacements on Shapeways. I know you can for the 25's. Quote
treatment Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Stupid antenna. And Bandai's yf-29b costs me more (even on firesale-pricing) than either my recent MP-07 Starscream and my old Yamato 1/60v2 VF-1J... Quote
spanner Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I think you can get rigid replacements on Shapeways. I know you can for the 25's. Stupid antenna. I believe these are the ones to suit the Percival.. http://www.shapeways.com/product/J4UD2XE7N/yf-29-head-turret-1-pair?li=search-results-1&optionId=6800104&rc=SearchResults Quote
sh9000 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 YF-29B. The B stands for banana antennae. Lol. Quote
