Or whatever your CC company has as a limit. Some have limits. Some don't.

Yeah, most CC companies will cover you way beyond what PP will. 
FWIW, I just got another shipping notice from NY. For the limited edition Black And Gold Iron Spider figure. It one of my last orders through them and mainly because it wasn’t available at other shops. They also just sent another order I had a couple weeks ago.

This sounds like one of those "My husband is a nice man. He only beats me a couple times a year" kind of things.

Lol!

Can't wait for the 25th. I thought I'd missed the boat on a VF-1J, don't fancy paying $900 AUD for one. 😅

Looking forward to displaying it beside my VF-1D and Fokker VF-1S. 😁

Not sure if the box for the DX Chogokin Armored Hikaru has been shown somewhere else, but here you can have a sneak peak, I am freaking amazed how awesome this looks, cause of this packaging this figure price will skyrocket in my opinion, can wait for my PO to be delivered!!!!

Damn Bandai finally taking a page out of yamcadia's book. Just hope the retailers package this well for shipping! 

[sh9000]

Very nice toy packaging.

[claude grant]

This will be worth every penny it's gonna cost.

[sqidd]

That sucker is going to be HUGE!

[Shawn]

I love how you can just remove it from the box and slap on the armor-pre-transformed in battroid mode!

You can then say 'never transformed' 5 years from now when the 1/32 version comes out and you sell it! 
 

[drumondo]

If that's the box, I don't know if I'm even gonna open it. 😍

[Chokinzoku81]

Hold up, if that’s the box, why does it say “GBP-1S” under the armor ? Unlikely Bandai would make that mistake ? What do you think?

[Chokinzoku81]

Nevermind, the Takatoku box confuses me. Apparently the armor is called GBP-1S even when it’s on J or a A....this is the real thing...congrats on who scored the vid!

just came across this pic, not mine.

 

[jvmacross]

So they went with an exclusive box for this set......

 

 

[sqidd]

I'm I the only one who isn't seeing grey goggles on the 1J? Does that mean we have to swap heads (which I hear is not easy) right out of the box?

 

[Angesdad]

Is this box like hinged in the middle opening up like a book or separate? Can't tell from the picture..

That's not what I asked.

The extra head with the grey goggles is on the Armor side of the box. The head is on a ball peg so it's easy to swap out. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

[Angesdad]

If 1J's head is anything like 1S or 1A, it wouldn't be so bad as I have done so numerous times. Extend the neck first and pull!

I wonder if they changed the head attachment design for this?? I was under the impression talking to @RedComet about doing a custom that swapping heads was not easy. Maybe they changed the design. If they did that means the armor only kits will have a different design grey goggle head to fit the OG 1J.

Good to hear, I heard it was difficult to do without damaging it.

I'm going to do the internet idiot/customer thing now........

 

I just saw one picture of the combo pack that may or may not be released alreday. Where is my tracking number Luna Park!!!

[Froy]

Is that a Tamashi shipper box? Or just a regular brown box?

I can see a barcode on it.

Looks like a shipper box. No way that's big enough for the GBP/Valk set though. They probably picked up a few items?

[Mac]

Nin Nin site says 9 days until it's released.

The card on the display a few post above still reads 2021-09 -25

[Toonz]

I think this must be the cover art.
