It is always fun unboxing new stuff and playing with displays though! Good luck on that 1D! Quote

I have shopped with them before. They are prompt to respond to emails. They did not do a good job packing my stuff last time, maybe because it was small item they only wrapped it in a single layer of small bubble wrap and put it in a DHL shipping bag, so corners were a little dented. Others though have had better luck than me on this front. Quote
claude grant Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 Do you have to pay for the product up front with Luna Park? Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 1 hour ago, Paco Grande said: That’s the standard price at the stores that have listed already. This figure is around 4000 Yen higher MSRP than the other DX VF-1 figures. I don’t think a 3000-4000 Yen markup is unreasonable. ¥3300 higher. ¥19,800 (18,000+10%) vs ¥23,100 (21,000+10%). Fan racer is a great addition, but I am a bit disappointed that it comes with so many DYRL-style hands, and so few SDFM style hands. Quote

yman1437 Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 Don't even realize po is tonight. Got none. Well..don't really care anymore Quote
ps99042 Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) What kind of shipping is Lunapark using for only $3000 yen and 1-2 week delivery time? Doesn't seem like there are any options for shipping. Edited December 25, 2020 by ps99042 Quote
MKT Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 What a bit of a curveball the fan racer makes haha.. As this item is going to be released only in July 2021, will mean it will be outside the Paypal protection window for all the upfront payments now, so really need to look doubly hard to PO at all the new alternative stores carrying it. No doubt, using Paypal backed by CC means there is that CC protection as a fall back, but I suspect not all CC are that painless to file back a claim. Really depends on your issuing bank.. Quote
tjdetweiler Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 VF-1D - I was never a fan of this design - this version of DX 1/48 looks great - sadly since it is a TWE - I wont be able to afford it since payment for DX Voltes V has been asked. Goodluck everyone and Merry Christmas! Quote
Jetreo Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Got one from OkiniLand: https://okini.land/en/23368-dx-chogokin-vf-1d-valkyrie-fan-racer-bandai-spirits.html HobbyGenki is also up: https://hobby-genki.com/en/dx-chogokin/681-dx-chogokin-vf-1d-valkyrie-fun-racer.html but only showed EMS shipping for me.

wm cheng Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 Is Hobby Genki any good? Are they reliable? Never heard or used them before? Quote

They seem to be good and haven't heard any issues with them. Someone from HobbyGenki also posts in this thread from time to time. Only reason I didn't order from them was they didn't have DHL/Fedex to my country (Australia), only JapanPost EMS was available but EMS to Australia is still suspended due to COVID restrictions.

Chronocidal Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 Don't know about them, but Okini Land seems to have been at least reliable enough to get me my TV packs order, so they might be worth a try. I don't know if I want to place a third order as a backup with them, but I haven't heard one way or another about my order with From Japan yet. I might just wait until release on this one to see what happens, because otherwise it would be incredibly easy to spend way too much trying to reserve one everywhere. Quote
wm cheng Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Wow, Japan Post EMS was the only option to Canada at 5,200Y (that's steep) Is EMS available from Japan to Canada? Edited December 25, 2020 by wm cheng Quote

Alphahorizon Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 Did Okini PO open up? I've had great business transactions with them. Quote
Draykov Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 Okini Land has a 1 per customer limit, so I scored a VF-1D there and another through Luna Park. Fingers crossed. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 Nice, just got an email from one of my proxies they managed to order 2 for me. Still waiting on the other proxy, but not super hopeful about that one. Quote

jenius Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 I was thinking "I'll hold out for Nin-Nin" since they were at 25,500... then I refreshed the page and they were at 26,500. At that close, I'd rather go with Okini. Quote
Mecachrome Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 Hobby Genki has an eBay page, so slightly more confident they can fulfill the preorder. Quote
