Bandai DX VF-1D - July 2021

[DYRL VF-1S]

@no3Ljm I’ll happily trade the whole 1D for an extra Kairos. You can have both the fan racer and 1D without an exchange of money at all. 😜

For a reasonable price, yes. 

@Lolicon is offering his for Y23000 plus tax. He didn't mention but I'm pretty sure shipping is not included for that price. Hahaha!  

Shipping is free if you come and pick it up yourself.

Good call, dude.

Fist bump!

I now have my 1D displayed with the gunpod slung over the shoulder in this way. Looks awesome.

Demanding, aren't you? 

He's not on a shelf yet, but this is what I'm thinking of going with:

That is absolute killer!!!

Thanks for showing a frontal view of the gun strap thru the fist hand. Nothing beats a classic A-Stance & head turned slightly to the left. 10/10 Anasazi37. Thanks for sharing.😃

My Luna Park tracking is the same with the same dates.  Still not handed over to DHL after 4 days.

Mine still showing the same. Its been over a week and no answer from Luna Park about this. Anyone else having the same issue?

Luna Park had an issue with DHL shoving all their stuff into bags for shipping, rather than boxes, didn't they?

They might be changing how they ship items, and you got stuck waiting for the transition.

That may be true. I emailed them on Friday asking them about the status and they replied back saying they would check on it on Monday and have not heard back from them. Trying to see if anyone else is having this same issue or just me?

I’m in the same boat as you.  Please post back here with whatever they tell you.

Nin-Nin just sent me a tracking number for my VF-1D finally. They are finally shipping those out.

[MKT]

For those still waiting on Luna Park for VF-1D, suggest to e-mail them immediately to confirm if they will pack them properly this time. 

I just received mine, which is part of the 1st batch sent out the day after release. They put it in the DHL bag, but they did not even use DHL to my location. Instead, it was just normal JP Post airmail parcel (not EMS). Took 2 weeks to arrive.

Amazingly on one hand, it arrived in relatively good condition considering the packaging & mail method with just some slight dings & minor dents on corners. On other hand, quite pissed because they invoiced shipping money that should covers EMS cost (shorter shipping, less chance of damage) but went with the much cheaper mail option with crappiest packaging instead.

1D from both NY and Okini arrived at the same time in Oz (I ordered from Okini expecting NY to flake - they still haven't on me but I'm glad I was able to snatch a 31-AX from HLJ and not have to test my resolve again)

Thanks for the advice. I will contact them again ask them to package it securely and hopefully get a status as to why the DHL label has been printed but have not been dropped off to DHL.

It’s available depending on location. Me being in South East Asia..

[locidm]

Anybody else's VF-1D from Luna Park still stuck in limbo??

Tracking that was provided to me on 7/27 still says this:

Shipper has generated a shipment label, but the shipment has not yet been handed over to DHL

July, 26 2021 19:14 Local time | Service Area: TOKYO - JAPAN

8 days since Luna Park generated a shipping label with DHL and they still haven't handed my DX 1D for shipment, and no communication to update on the status of my purchase.  This was the 1st time I ever placed an order with this seller, and it will most certainly be the last!

[Chronocidal]

Given the issues they had with shipping, they may be trying to resolve those completely before any more packages go out.  Sounded like they had some miscommunications about packing.

[Dinosaur]

I recently got my VF-1D from Luna Park and they packed it in a hard box as per my request. I did order two parcels from their shop so that could be why they decided to mail them in a box. 

For those of you still waiting on your VF-1Ds from Luna Park, I recommend that you email them and ask them about the status of your shipment. Also request that they properly pack them in a hard box and bubble wrap so that your package is not damaged.

They had some issues with DHL. They're trying to fix them. In this new COVID world we all need to practice a little more patience and understanding. You never know when you're going to have problems and you will want people to be understanding.

For perspective. This is coming for someone with no patience. If I summon some, anyone can.

Haha, the Willy Wonka meme seems appropriate. It’s like so many toy collectors never saw those movies or at least never learned the lesson those Oompa Loompas were teaching. But I guess that makes sense when it’s a bunch of adults collecting toys. 😝

My 1D finally shipped from mykombini, they were shutdown last week for public holidays they told me.
