CF18 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Just noticed CD Japan is selling Bandai limited items now. They charge more than NY, but it is another alternative. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-229013 Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Payment request from AmiAmi done, now to see how long normal registered SAL takes. No payment request from HLJ yet, but that one's staying in the warehouse until Messer's ready to go. Quote

I went ahead and ordered it since i definitely want em, making a beefy valk even beefier valk with missiles! Those pods makes it look like the draken went through MMA training. Well one thing less to babysit, and with after market prices on add on parts nowadays not gonna risk it. N-Y should have a better option to combine orders tho. I would shop with them more, since they have lower prices, if they had that option upfront. Plus, nice pshoping on the draken! I wonder if they will make it glossy white or matt white and am not sure which i prefer either. Hey Seti. You're welcome. But curious though about NY Exclusives Preorders. I just hope that they reconsider orders you want to add later on in the process. And regarding a white Draken, as much as I like matte white on it, I might wish for a semi-gloss approach. Seeing there's a gold trimming on some parts, it's going to look weird besides a matte white. What do you think? 7 hours ago, Lolicon said: Paid for mine. Too bad it's almost 7 pm on Friday in Japan, meaning it won't ship out till Monday. That's why I didn't pay for mine too since it's not going to get shipped today. But I'm sure they will prioritize to ship those who paid early. But I'm going to make sure to pay over the weekend so I can place an order for the option set and that Figuarts IM Mk II. Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Question though. I got my AmiAmi payment request last night too (PST). And I know I selected EMS for that order but when I received my invoice, it was invoiced with DHL as the shipping method since they suggested that DHL revised the current shipping fees and basically DHL is now cheaper than EMS for that specific package. (Probably because of the size.) To those who ordered from US and choose EMS, yo guys got their payment request like that too? If so, should I just go ahead with DHL as per their recommendation just to save a few bucks? How good are they compared to EMS from AmiAmi? Quote

I haven't paid for mine yet as I had an address change so have to wait for a new invoice. I was planning to switch it back to EMS since I know that I would get that quickly and I have no experience with DHL. I'l stick with DHL if others have had a good experience with them. Quote
Sandman Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Seems to be quite a bit of these out there. I wonder if that's due to popularity (lack of) or bandai actually producing enough. Quote

I don't have bad experience with DHL as well. And it will be delivered here at my workplace so no worries there. And from I understand with our reception in our building, they have more problems sorting out packages coming from USPS than DHL. But yeah, since both of you gave me the blessings, then I'll go with DHL just to save a few bucks. Edited March 17, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote
Mr Bomber Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Being on low stock on hlj all morning. get yours http://hlj.com/product/bann08749 Weird, open for orders, but i havent receive my payment email. Quote
Lolicon Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Keep an eye on your mailbox. I almost always get my payment requests around 5 AM Japan time. Quote
Mommar Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 21 hours ago, no3Ljm said: Not sure. And seriously I can't remember if they did. All I remember was that it was always during Fighter mode. And pretty sure I'm not going to advice you to rewatch Delta series just to find out. But if it makes you curious, let us know if they used it during Battroid Mode. Maybe in the asteroid field fight they did? Quote

If you are delivering to a business then its cool. I used then here and there with Mandarake orders before and its super fast . Quote
Archer Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I for one welcome the fact that these figures aren't instantly sold out. Makes collecting so much less of a hassle. Ended up switching from cdjapan to HLJ for that sweet FedEx shipping (at very reasonable pricing too). Quote
Horatio Positronic Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I'm really impressed that I got my payment request from Ami Ami today. Since the DX Chogokin line usually sells out so fast, I was absolutely convinced that preorders remaining open long enough for me to get one was an error, and that my order would get cancelled due to low stock. Does anybody know if Bandai made a bunch more of these than usual, or if they're surprisingly unpopular? They certainly seem popular enough in this thread. Quote

spanner Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) EMS was 3380 which is a little less than I was expecting. Edited March 17, 2017 by spanner Quote

Would that forfeit the limit 1 per customer? Are they more strict with items still in the Private Warehouse? Quote
spanner Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 yeah you don't want to go through the hassle of having your account suspended etc.. Im not sure how many other stores still have them available but I do know NY does.. Quote

mechaninac Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Got HLJ's payment request for the Sx-262, and paid it, with 2 days to spare on my 31J's PW auto shipment limit; now I can have them shipped together and save a bit...

Waidamint... Roid's Draken? Is that one of the character's name?... Seriously (I haven't watched Delta yet, so...)? That's almost as "bad"/silly as 2199's Merda Ditz.
