Everything is crawling at a snails pace until the virus is completely over then it's back to normal. Maybe Bandai should re consider off shoring/out sourcing their assembly plants and start making them straight from Japan again.

Goddamn idiotic. As if the virus cares what time of day it is. Not to mention the idiots cleaned out the stores of TP and frozen pizzas, of all things. Hoping this blows over soon so we can get the next DX (and I can get my turkey meatballs). TP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphahorizon Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Was in Walmart yesterday and NOT for toilet paper. These two ladies were going at each other. Felt bad for the husbands. Both were trying to get thier significantly other involved. Over....toilet paper. Peoples priorities are out of whack. Glad I happened to go to Dams Club 4 weeks back and bought a few. I'm set for a year at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolt Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) I know what you're saying @sh9000 . That thread would be 10 pages deep by now. It's on most peoples mind, so they're gonna talk about it, especially (and even) with their compatriots on a transforming robot anime website.. Honestly, we need more VF eye candy or this thread is dead at the pace Bandai will be announcing further teases.. bring back DYRL skull squadron and add that Roy to the head of the pack Bandai!

HardlyNever Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Finally got the TV style fists I've been working on to a place I'm (mostly) happy with. I'll probably have to do another left one for Hikaru, as I'm not happy about the color, but it will do for now. I'll have to make another set if/when we get TV Kakizaki, as well.

Most of us, probably you included, were immediately bumped to the end of April delivery date after the initial PO sold out, regardless of how quickly you PO'ed..... NY Seemingly bumped everyone to the second group. I wouldn't be surprised if the April release date gets pushed back due to the COVID19 debacle.

But the rest of the squadron will be pushed back too, so whatever on that. I guess if you have a naked Hikaru 1S that you must have SSP for, you'll have to stalk places like Mandarake to snatch one.

Don't have any packs, but I'll still wait the extra 3-4 months for the ones I ordered from NY. I waited this long, whats another few months. They kind of don't exist to me at this point.

Since January, only one of them has shipped (a DX Max 1A) and it has yet to be received because I opted for the cheapest, slow-boat option when it came to shipping.

borgified Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 That's not including the 5% fees for processing it, etc.. Sub total for the valk = 31,185 yen before S+H Using Manda or Amimi (if they have stock) is most user friendly. Jungle can be very pricy if no deals are found.

Lolicon Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Jungle also adds the 10% consumption tax to all their prices when they post it on their website for overseas buyers. Of course not everyone can go to a Jungle store in person, but if you did that 1S will be 27k on the shelf (they waive tax for foreigners). Not a complaint, just an FYI. Mandarake used to charge a 500 yen handling fee for any orders under 5000 yen but they got rid of that a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So roughly what everyone else is charging right now, when you add up all of the taxes and fees they collect. Even Tenso takes their cut in handling charges and slightly-inflated shipping prices.
