Arcadia VF-1 Gunpod missing :(

[Arkham]

(Note to mods: I read a bit rules and FAQs and was unable to pinpoint the best place to post this, as it would fit several other forums, feel free to remove/move/edit this post if required and apologies in advance)

 

Just a few days ago I joined this wonderful world/club of "Valkyrie owner", with a very nice Arcadia 1/60 VF-1S (w/ Strike Parts). The lovely folks at my country customs decided to remove the Gunpod... and now I'm sad

I've contacted HLJ, but since the product is SoldOut/Discontinued, they can't help on the matter, and looks Arcadia only deals with Japanese customers.

What are my options?

 

- So far I've scoured every buy/sell website or forums (including this one), and unable to find someone selling it (Yamato's would be "compatible" with Arcadia, right?)

- Are "spare parts" or replacement service where I could buy one?

- Has anyone 3D-printed it?

- Any other options that you can come up to help in this situation?

- To the mods, should I x-post this to other forums like Workshop? (didn't want to spam)

 

Any help, tip or suggestion would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I'll declare model kit part/toy just in case.

Santiago, Chile

Ignacio sent the Gunpod from the other side of the Andes Mountain, from Buenos Aires, Argentina

Haha, I was thinking “Damn, there are more cities as ugly as Santiago” but it was the real stuff xD

Cheers from Valparaíso!
