There are no import or duty taxes for items from Japan to the US. Quote
Lolicon Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Mine should be here in a couple of days as well. Time to free up the extra 31J super parts! Quote

In the video posted, the reviewer said that the blue tint on the 31 kai has a darker shade of blue than the 31 J and the lines are sharper and crisp. Thats why i suspect that the 31J super packs were probably molded in the same shade of blue as the 31J Quote
Tallman Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 VF-31J Kai version up on NY, for anyone who interested. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/23360-macross-delta-dx-chogokin-vf-31j-kai-siegfried-hayate-immelman-custom-limited-edition.html Quote

I posted this awhile back, but it doesn't hurt to post again. Note that squares A and B are the exact same shade of grey and its your brain screwing with you. Quote

brouken Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Ordered the Kai from NY. Not too happy with the price, but then again, that's how this game is played. Quote

Maybe the black gives the illusion of it being darker (like Lolicon's example)? From the video: Edited December 5, 2017 by wmkjr Quote

Zx31 Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) My EMS charge for two at FJ was 14,488, though the weight was higher since I added in two books Edited December 5, 2017 by Zx31 Quote

Question. Is that the actual EMS cost only as per weight? Or FJ's fees and local delivery included? Give or take one shipped DX VF-31 using EMS is just Y4500-5200 as per JapanPost price for 2-2.5kg. I find it weird for FJ's to charge that much for EMS since they don't charge me that much before. Oh well, there's nothing I can do right now. I'll just wait their Charge 2 invoice first before I raise my eyebrow. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Charge 2 includes everything except list price: Fees, domestic and international shipping. Quote
