Sanity is Optional Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 NY is also willing to ship DX Chogokins via SAL, which HLJ is not. Saves a bit in shipping, even with the NY shipping markup. They do a pretty good job packaging things as well, honestly. Quote
jasonmacross83 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Ordered a VF-31j Kai from NY. Is it normal for them to have it "in preparation" for 5 days? I paid for EMS shipping. I am so surprised by this because I normally shop at ami and Hlj. Never had this happened before Quote
sumyumgoy Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Just got my notification from NY for the VF-31A finally. Now the wait for it to arrive. Hope there are others that got notified. Spoiler Quote

Never had this happened before Usually it will be shipped within 1-3 days but I have had a similar encounter where I had to wait a week. Best to send them a ticket to check it for you and most of the time it will ship on the day they reply to your ticket. Hope this helps. Quote

Never had this happened before Got a "prep in progress" for my VF-0S (plus PBandai gundam, which delayed it) on Friday, and the shipping notice today. 5days isn't completely unheard of, especially when it includes a weekend.

hoahuynh Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 OMG finally came through. Now I need a super set. Quote

The representative told me they would ship it this week after I asked what day specifically Think I'm gonna stick to the 3 main stores now :-( Quote
chyll2 Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) Picked this up earlier from post office No tamashii brown box but NY went overboard with the bubble wrap Edited June 27, 2018 by chyll2 Quote

Shukenzero Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Grats to everyone getting their Kairos units! Glad NY is slowly coming through! Quote
sh9000 Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Congrats to everyone receiving theirs from NY. Yeah they’ve been packing items even more well than before. My VF-31A and other shipments came bubble wrapped with lots of extra layers of folded bubble wrap in the boxes. Quote
sh9000 Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) NY just sent an email saying that the VF-31S release date is now 7/21. Edited June 28, 2018 by sh9000 Quote

mamboeidos Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Anywhere to order the VF-31s at decent price at this moment? Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Just now, mamboeidos said: Anywhere to order the VF-31s at decent price at this moment? Not sure if it's still open since PO for this ended months ago. But make sure to check two weeks prior of its release because sometimes some store will open up a few for preorder and still offer discounted PO price. If not, then you can check it once it gets released. Then you have to pay it in MSRP. Quote

no3Ljm Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, mamboeidos said: Saw fromjapan n is like 24k yen man.... Since FromJapan is a proxy company (item is sold by third party sellers) you probably going to end up paying around or so Y30000+/- (?). Item Price + FromJapan’s Fee + Local Shipping Cost + International Shipping Cost. By the way, the MSRP for that is Y22680. Initial PO price is around Y19600-21000.

CharlesXavier Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 I missed out the PO for the 31S completely but going by the trend of DX these days, you should be able to safely secure a piece or 2 at the MSRP within the first 2-3 weeks of release. Quote

Does that mean NY is expecting to receive it on that date? irc, DX toys are always officially released on the 15th of each month. NY recently has been creating their own Target date (usually a week for regular item and two weeks for web exclusive). This is pure speculation on my end but they may be doing this to avoid receiving complaints about slow preparation of shipments Quote

CharlesXavier Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Received my 31As from NY today. Both didn’t come with the brown casing but are sealed on all 3 sides and boxes are in excellent condition. I am grateful for the blessing Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Seems like they went through this week’s supply of 31As... Quote

Never had this happened before I ordered once from NY I choose EMS and it took 2 weeks for them sending the item but not before I send them a message of what is going on with my figure, so for your question is it normal ?, well for NY it seems like sadly, also bought lots of stuff form AmiAmi most of time I choose EMS and it only takes one day most of time for they to ship the item after the payment received of course.

Bobby Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Regarding the VF-31a... Does anyone's have what seems to be an uncloseable gap between the intake and the shoulder on the port side? PORT SIDE STARBOARD SIDE It seems like a QC issue that just can't be worked to close (I have a VF-31 C, F & J to compare to and none of them have this issue)? Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Mine had something like that as well, push the intakes inwards along the hip bar, and it closes up more. [edit] To clarify, had to un-tab and swing down the whole leg assembly, push it together, and then tab it back in. Edited June 28, 2018 by Sanity is Optional Quote
rdrunner Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 I have the same problem on the same side as well on the 31A. Checked my 31F and it was fine. I have not transformed mine yet out of the box (the 31A I mean) Quote
Solo Wing Pixy Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Anyone know how to remove the gunpod from the turret? Mine is rather tight and i'm afraid of potentially breaking something by using too much force. Quote

Solo Wing Pixy Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Unfortunately it's still not coming off even with significant pressure. Where should i be holding the gunpod in order to minimise the risk of stressing the plastic? I also can't seem to get it to budge at the moment. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 I'd flip it out and over the wings, then open it up into the deployed "U" shape, and grab the central part where it attaches. Quote
