Just got my shipping confirmation from HLJ ^_^

Has anyone gotten their preorder mysteriously disappear from AmiAmi, I placed the order with the preorder madness, even got the confirmation e-mail, but when I access my account it this week it does not exist, I really don't mind cause I got the HLJ one but it's really weird, I never got an "ordered cancelled" e-mail or anything similar.

Is it me, or does Hikaru looks like he is a bit too forward in that cockpit? Also, i think Graham mentioned he looks a lil' bit too small. Not neat picking, just an observation. Also, i wish it had the battloid ejection seat optional parts.

Anyway, my soul is prepared. May this be the best valk of all time?

Bandai added too much equipment behind the seat pushing Hikaru forward and yes Hikaru seems small ish...and not to mention the prototype had tampo ed details? Not a deal breaker but could be better...

I am thinking there will be an option parts later with the fast packs, or GPB. Maybe we will see a ver 2 of this toy in the future.

I emailed hlj a couple of times. No response. Anyone else get a response from them? My order still says open status.

Maybe Bandai is thinking about two seaters....

I hope so. 1/48 2 seaters was like Yamato's kriptonite. Same goes with Kakizake, and Max's TV valk.

Got worried and checked my Ami account. My preorder is still there at the moment.

I just checked mine and it’s still there. Did you look under “unshipped orders”?

Can also email them with your order number from the confirmation email.

Checked everything and its just gone... <_<

But it doesn't bother me much cause I really have no space for a second 1J but I was hopeful to getting it for the eventual GBP-1S armor release whenever it comes

You didn't get Yamato's 1:48 Kakizaki or Max?  They released both movie and TV versions.

CDJapan just hit me with an upcharge on shipping. I should have bought that Amazon one when I had the chance! Not CDJ's fault I guess, basically it's too big for their SAL shipping guideline so I have to go EMS. :/

Just got hit with a 5200 yen charge from CDJ, but also got a notice at the same time from Amazon that my order there shipped

Also the last email from CDJ said that they were on holiday from Dec 29th - Jan 3rd, so not sure when that's going to ship

I think the difference is that NY has poor communication. They just invoiced me an extra $20 with no info. 

CDJ explained the issue clearly. 

I’m mostly chuffed with amazon; great value :)

Has anyone tried to place the original GBP armor on the DX?

Whoa!! Slow down on your thoughts. Patience mon ami.

This DX-VF1J just got released overseas and it will be sometime when someone will do it with the original Yammie V.2 /Arcadia GBP. You and everyone will get the results soon.

Just got a delivery expected text from DHL, Monday the 7th. It’ll probably show earlier, given previous DHL experience.

Same here. Amz says 1/4 and DHL said 1/7 before I updated the address. Now it is 1/8. Hopefully it remains on track for next week since I'll be around.

Bummer for you guys getting hit with the japan holiday-shutdown stuff from the import-shops.

That's one of the reasons I've cancelled my order from ami.

At any rate. amz-jp delivery estimate to US is wednesday next week...

That sounds like bullshit to me. The preorder required full payment up front which include shipping. That’s on their part for not properly accessing the shipping. Now they just billed be for $29 for shipping when I already paid for shipping. Its like they double charged you for shipping.

If they pull this crap for the next VF-1 PO then I’m done. I’ll take my chance when it becomes in stock.

wait, what?

Thought only when you use PP that you get charged upfront with CDJ preorders.

i never use PP when preordering with cdj.

It’s intersting that NY gets chastised for raising the shipping price but when CDJ does it, nbd. 

I almost forgot I had an order with CDJ. Cool!

This has been explained already. NY charges far more than actual shipping so when they ask for more, it seems unjust. Other retailers, who charge amounts based on reality, get understanding when they guess wrong on packaging dimensions and have to charge actual shipping costs.

btw. for you guys who po'ed from Ami and still not getting updates.

have you guys tried chattting with them?

here's the link to their zendesk support-page:

https://support.amiami.com/hc/en-us

sign in with your ami-acct.

you may get some "unable to connect to zendesk" page-error, but the chat-box should open up on the right side with a real CS person from amiami.

try it and see if they can help expedite your order before they close up for the weekend.

currently around 1pm over there as of this posting and they should hopefullly still be open or something.
