myk Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 19 minutes ago, F360 said: it's the norm for TWE items. If they really want to screw us over, they could just package it in the biggest box possible so it will be very expensive to ship it outside of japan. example: extra white empty boxes from their WOL for strike Freedom and Destiny just so they can keep the shape and have a nice Sleeve photo when you pack that with your already owned MB gundam. Im Sure they thought of that, if only jokingly, but their bottom line would be affected $$$$$... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragontype Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 There was a preorder last night? Was this announced at the event last night? Wasn't able to catch it. Generally good? Did most get what they needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgified Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 @dragontype - Chill down and don't blow a fuse. It's not the end of the world yet. Even though you missed this pre-order (TWE by the way), you can get one during release date at secondary stores (Manda, Amiami, Amazon Japan etc..)

Sanity is Optional Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 That and the super parts are going to be available at numerous gray market sites over the course of the week. Shouldn't be any issue getting some unless you want several at the same store, or want to use a proxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the shipping method, never had an issue with them, aside from how they split up or combine items in shipments. One time they combined the 2 Yamato 1/48s, and shipping was reasonable, the next time they shipped them separate and it was an arm and a leg. But aside from that, very reliable and good customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levzloi Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Also I paid earlier today for the Super Parts on DEJapan, and I just got a confirmation email that they were ordered. So for the moment, looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Had my friend that lives in Japan order the super parts for me. I hate to ask him for the favor, but I do try to return the favor with US collectible items in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopus Prime Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Is anyone going to just settle for the DYRL super parts with their TV Roy? I already bought four sets of the DYRL ones in preparation for Skull Squadron, and feeling reluctant to buy more just for some minor differences. Plus the previously released missile set already has reaction missiles, albeit yellow-tipped ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had those on order, but didn't carry any of the 1:48 scale DX Valkyries except for Kakizaki's 1A which was also TWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwuj Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Thanks for the heads up, managed to get one set for my TV Roy. At least with BIJ there’s more certainty of it arriving.

lavinrac Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Just had the most random thing happen.. So i build GunPla.. and I have a lot of friends who used to be in a club with me but now scattered everywhere.. Right as i have this thread open and like 3 other tabs open to find these Super Packs.. someone wishes one of my friends happy birthday on facebook.. and all the sudden my brain says "He lives in Japan right now."

F360 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Biginjap haven’t post regular release Dx chogokin in a long time . But you will see most Twe preorder on them since hey are also a proxy and offers forwarding service. So the p-Bandai/TWE is a no brainer.
