Adding it to your cart and checking out, once their system saw that you are shipping it outside of Japan, the said domestic tax will be removed.

peter Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Oh, interesting. I have my in-laws place as a default shipping address for Amazon Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantisfists Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Anybody looking for one, Amazon.jp has one available for the 26,290 that was talked about above. Still says that they won't ship to me, but hopefully somebody else can jump on it. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B089WGZJDG/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=1598499051&sr=1-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Grande Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 NY shipped my Kakizaki. I’m amazed. They usually take at least a week to ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) So, the seller I bought from* has 2 more up, same price, same shipping. However, the seller contacted me and said that since EMS isn't available to the states, could he ship it via Surface. So be aware, that if you buy from "イロハ堂[午後16時までにご注文確定で消毒・除菌をして365日福岡県から即日発送!!]." and in an area without EMS service, you may be stuck with Surface or a cancellation. On the other side of things, my Kakizaki from FromJapan shipped out via FedEx, and ought to be here in a few days.

borgified Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 For those in Canada, Kakizaki can be ordered from Amazon.jp at 26,290 yen with shipping at 4,500 yen (2 left in stock), to be delivered on Sept.14-18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I placed my order through the same seller. I'm not paying 4,000 yen for surface shipping. I just put an order cancellation in. Hopefully it sticks. And hopefully someone else puts one up with DHL.

So I immediately canceled that order (I can get one for less on Yahoo Japan and put it in a box that is already shipping DHL for effectively no shipping cost) and then got an email from him saying it could go boat only. I asked him to cancel the order. Aaaaaaannnnd, my CC got charged anyway. Yay, one more thing to follow up on! Grrrrrrr, I should have just had it sent by boat.

Mechapilot77 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 So this just showed up in my white rabbit mailbox overnight. didn't konw this was out already (thanks to tekering's post on another forum i found out lol) and the email landed in some strange folder so i didn't even know until i searched my emails for white rabbit, lol. Anyway this is my first rodeo with white rabbit. All in, including shipping and the purchas e price i paid back when i ordered it comes to about ~$260 USD shipped from japan to new york. I picked DHL because i kow they have been pretty reliable during the covid times as i've gotten amazon japan stuff from dhl during this time. IF i picked fedex it would have been about $3 cheaper (and potentially a day faster) but i don't know how good fedex is from japn to USA right now. if everything goes well with this shipemnt i can see using them from future webshop exclusives or whatever bandai calls them. I know i had to prepay (aside from teh shipping which was $47 for DHL), but the overall price is not too bad right? anyone else go this route on this figure (aside from F360 that clued me in to white rabbit)?

RedComet Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Snagged one on Yahoo Auctions for 24,000 including domestic shipping), hope I can ship it and another one together for 6,500 (what I recently shipped 2 Hikaru 1S for).

Why would you want to put reversed modex numbers on the other side and compound the problem? Maybe they did that to appease the Bandai executive who thought the original reversal was a good idea and forced the company to defend it on social media.

Shawn Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 OK, not trying to be a smart-ass, really, but what is the point of the 310 sticker for the other (left) side tailfin. I thought the reason for doing 310 on the right fin was to have a 'style uniformity' in battroid mode with the tail fins folded So if you 'fix' the right side, you would then apply this to make the left side 'uniform' in battroid? There is an obvious non-smart-ass answer, but I can't figure it out yet. Help! Maybe it just make the left side broken to match a non-fixed right side? Do the instructions say anything about the decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 That's better. One popped up on AJ "fulfilled by Amazon". ¥23,891 (after tax removed), with ¥2587 DHL shipping. Yoink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
