Sanity is Optional Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Just a question, did you give a shot at talking to Arcadia directly? Looks like HLJ still has the PF SDF-1 in stock though, if you still want one after returning to NY. Quote

I purchased many expensive toys from NY and only encountered this issue once. I just expected better customer service especially since I have been a loyal customer.

linitrofe Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 I'm starting to think my SDF1 was lost by the postal office. I'm still waiting the official version but... Can I open a dispute with PayPal in this scenario? Quote

I initially emailed NY explaining I was missing a main part to this figure. Their ONE and ONLY response back was "We will contact the manufacture and get back with you but no guarantee." I patiently waited a few weeks but I still have not heard back from NY. So I tried to contact them again for an update on the missing part but no response back. Then a week later I asked for an exchange but no response back. With numerous emails to NY and no response back I had to escalate this issue to Paypal because there is a certain amount of time you can submit a ticket for escalation. After waiting another week Paypal did rule in my favor and told me I am eligible for a refund. I just have to mail back the figure to NY with tracking number. On the Paypal return instructions it says to mail the package back to this address: 株式会社NIPPONーYASAN.COM 〒791-8055 愛媛県 松山市清住 一丁目3番3号 Japan Can anyone tell me if I translated the return address correctly to english? I am mailing out from the USA. Nippon-Yasan 1chrome 3-3 Kiyosumi Matsuyama, Ehime 791-8055 Japan The regular version has a slot in the styrofoam bed that held the bridge. So the PF doesn't have that or was the bridge supposed to ship attached? Quote

HardlyNever Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 It's probably too late to be of use, but just as a heads up to anyone else that might be getting this: My bridge (on the PF version) was in a plastic tray like the picture above, however either the tray was never secured or it came loose during shipping, and it had fallen down in with the rest of the main body. So it is possible (probably unlikely) that your bridge is floating around somewhere in your box and/or Styrofoam tray. Quote

davidwhangchoi Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 i got my yesterday and the stupid thing is the main guns don't come apart. some premium feature there. it's like it can't fire unless it transforms into a robot. that is so stupid. all those people keep getting sucked out into space and dying. what's next? a pinpoint barrier punch like the 19 advance? could you imagine this thing having that gimmick?

Hey David. I can’t remember if the SDF-1 did fired its main bow cannons in Fortress Mode in the movie just like it did with the TV series. Quote

HardlyNever Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Quick update for anyone else that screwed their bridge in: I couldn't get the bridge screw cover off, but I went ahead and decided try to pack the SDF-1 with the bridge on. I pre-emtively gouged out a little place in the Styrofoam lid for the brdige, but that is completely unnecessary. There is plenty of space between the lid and the bridge, probably a quarter-inch or more. I won't actually be moving it for several weeks, but I'm pretty confident it will be entirely safe. I also have all the runner parts on, and they do not interfere with packing up the toy in any noticeable way, either. Quote
Slave IV Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Well that was the most work I've had to do for a toy, let alone a nearly $600 dollar one. But I enjoyed every moment of it and well worth it! Quote

According to my records, NY had the PF version for 53,980¥ as a preorder. So the HLJ sale is the cheapest I've seen it, personally. If the box weren't so big, I'd honestly consider getting a second one. Quote
Lolicon Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 38k? Only in a crazy man's fever dream lol You should buy it now before it becomes "more expensive" later on! Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Ah okay; that’s pretty cheap then. ...still not going to buy one tho haha. I can’t bring myself to do it Quote
Chronocidal Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Ouch... this would've been a much better time to spring for one. And here I thought Arcadia had stopped producing enough that their releases made it to the clearance bin (anniversary releases excluded ) Quote
