IDK if that's EMS or ferry. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Chogokin-Dimension-Fortress-Valkyrie-Pre-painted/dp/B093BXKQFF/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=bandai+dx&qid=1631656714&s=hobby&sr=1-1 Oh that's the same store 小胖玩具屋. They must have found additional stock and relisted with a 300 yen markup. Note that the amount includes Japan Tax and will be reduced to around 33000 yen once checking out. Shipping cost is dependent on country though. Edited September 15, 2021 by gabuyan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how big that box is. EMS and DHL rates go "vertical" after a certain volume. Not much over a standard DX box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgified Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Don't forget that Amiami had a disclaimer (if any of use that got it from here) that this DX VF-1j + GBP set is stinkin' expensive. " *Shipping costs for this item may be very high due to package size or/and weight. " If Manda has this up for grabs @F360, the shipping by DHL is not going to possibly be 6k - 7k yen. You might be looking at close to maybe 18k yen to ship it. EMS to where you are (and if it's available) maybe around 14k yen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) A Dx chogokin 1/48 is around 1380 grams . A super parts set is around 680 grams so let’s say the GBP armor is just a little less then weight of 2 super part sets . Say around 1000 grams so the weight of the valk + Gbp combo set will mostly be around 2380 grams before packaging materials and shipping box . Those will be around 700 grams . So total shipped weight should be around 3080 grams. Now for the size , base on the photos it looks to be just a bit thinner that the size of 2 Dx chogokin box sandwich together. The shipping should be similar to shipping 2 Dx chogokins . (edited the number number, my brain was not working well in the middle of the night) of course this will also depends on where you place your preorder. HLJ , Amiami, Hobbysearch, anime-export do have discount shipping so it should not be too much . I just shipped out my items from HLJ this week , 1 METAL BUILD ,1 Soul of Chogokin ,1 Riobot Mospedia Lota Shipping to USA DHL around 7800 FEDEX around 8800 Edited September 16, 2021 by F360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When other DX Chogokins have been close to their release dates the prices tended to be 25 to 50% markup on the RRP. It seems now, or at least with the 1J GBP the price so close to release date is as close to RRP as it has been for a while. Hence my comment.

Darth Mingus Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 if anyone is looking for the GBP set, Anime-Export seems to have some in stock for a reasonable 16,800Y: https://www.anime-export.com/index.php?product=53868 Note that this is the Armour Set only, does not include the VF-1J.

Yeah. I got an extra to paint in Roy's colors in case Bandai had their heads up their arse and doesn't release it. By far my favorite color scheme of the 3 they prototyped.
