I got charged 5,000Y from LunaPark - it doesn't say exactly what the method is, I'm assuming its DHL? (that's another additional $20-$25cdn for brokerage & customs)

I think my confirmation emails from them said it's all EMS shipping. Though now that I say that I can't find clear wording on my order.

I'd actually prefer EMS shipping (for us in Canada) it usually comes directly to my door from our Postal Service and I rarely get customs & duty and there isn't the Carrier Brokerage Fees.  I don't see it spelled out anywhere on LunaPark - it just says shipping.  I just hope its properly packed in a box and not in a DHL bag.

Amazon,jp didn't work for us Canuckle Heads (I tried, but no one was willing to send it up North of the 49 parallel). Then came the Jacked up 3rd party prices afterwards.

Searched "VF-31AX" on Amazon japan, and noticed there was an "all buying options" link available, and the listing there was from Amazon Japan.

I completely spaced on the ”all buying options” and got cart jacked by the time I realized to do that. Fortunately, I landed HLJ

Good luck!

…I had thought this would be available, uh, worldwide? That AmiAmi link says it can’t be shipped to Japan… I are confused.

Glad I am not the only one....

I guess a "World-Wide" Macross toy release just means Japanese retailers can ship it to any buyer in the world without fear of getting harrassed by HG....still....I would hope this HG/BW agreement eventually means we can order Macross merch via local retailers at some point....otherwise, I don't see what will have changed since the biggest issue is the expense of shipping these items from Japan....oh well, assume the position for a bit longer I suppose....

Maybe only digital items, like macross music, videos can be sold worldwide. 🙊 Oops...

[Sandman]

Is this preorder opened 11PM PST or 12am? 

[borgified]

I think it’s 12 am for us West Coasters if I’m not mistaken @Sandman

Edit: My time zone change sucks.. Less than one hour for us on the West Coast. 
 

Don’t worry about me, not going to get it. Saving my $$ for something else.

Is it just me, or is it always closed even before the official release time?

I'm convinced Hobby Search has never actually sold a Bandai Macross item ever.

[Rein+]

yep i never sucseed in pre order battle at amiami

[Sandman]

Well that sucked. Already gone.

[Heron]

Snagged one from AmiAmi. Damn didn't expect that or them closing so fast on a world wide launch. I do wonder if the supply line issues will impact this release?

Cart jacked at Ami, HLJ, and Hobby Search went straight to sold out. Some “World Wide Macross!”

[Mommar]

Cart jacked at Hobby Search and never saw it i stock at HLJ..  I'm so frakking tired of this Bandai crap.  Sell the frakking thing AROUND THE WORLD if you're going to call it world wide.

[100mega]

Wow, no luck. Having it still in my cart on ami ami means nothing, right?

[Sildani]

Nope. You’ve been cart jacked. 

[Sandman]

anyone got a cdjapan link?

Already sold out unfortunately:

[Mommar]

Christ, I couldn't even find it on cdjapan.

[bleecher]

Got a metal build Eva 02 but missed this. Well going to be interesting what "worldwide" means in terms of other retailers outside of Japan selling it.
