grogall Posted July 22 Posted July 22 4 minutes ago, Radioguy said: Droll. I meant their two divisions. With @LUNA PARK Premium you are supposed to get faster shipping but for a higher price, only thing that seems to work though, is the higher price! The faster shipping didn't work with my VF-1S mech Guts edition, so I can't recommend it! If you have to pay for better service I would say look elsewhere! 😉 Quote
grogall Posted July 22 Posted July 22 @Zeliard May I inquire when you placed your order for the VT-1 at LP? Wonder if they work on a first buy first ship bases!? Thanks! Quote
sh9000 Posted July 22 Posted July 22 First one dropped into my private warehouse at Yoyakunow. Once the second one becomes available I'll ship them both together. Quote
MKT Posted July 22 Author Posted July 22 With a P-Bandai item, gotta remember retailers will be slower to get their stock in, while waiting for their own proxy, proxy dupes, proxy friends & family to get item in hand before sending it out to said retailer’s warehouse. If by now any retailer haven’t sent out any copies (perhaps Nin-Nin?), I suspect it’s just they are waiting for majority stocks to arrive first before initiating the fulfilment process. Quote

Aww, I haven't heard anything from them yet Fixing those droopy arms would be so stupid easy... Wish Bandai cared more. Quote
dragontype Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Pleasantly surprised this morning, LP shipped out VT-1. Earlier than AE this time. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted July 23 Posted July 23 Mine showed up at the proxy a few days back, figured I'd check YJA and see if I wanted to throw anything else in the box along with (don't tell my GF). Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 23 Posted July 23 Got two inbound right now, one from AE, the other from Big in Japan. I did get the notice of my backup from Yoyakunow, but waiting on that one before I ship it just so I don't have them all shipping at once. Quote

Makes me think back to my days in the early-to-mid 90s of trying to track down the Bandai 1/55 VT-1 and really regretting not snagging it when I saw it in a shop in Hong Kong in 86 or 87. I don't know if should punish you for not snagging one in the flesh, esp in HK!!! I've never even seen one in the US where I grew up. I did managed to secure one back in 2006 super mint VT-1 vintage 1/55 w/ the original shipping case. The price you pay for your childhood. Man seeing all these pics and videos got me even more ELATED!!! Ordered a full case VT-1 DX from Yoyakunow but have not received shipping notification. Has anyone that ordered there received any shipping notification? Now lets see how long before the VE-1 Edited July 23 by Agent-GHQ Quote
grogall Posted July 23 Posted July 23 (edited) Incase you can't find a use for the Parachute tent.... And you have to give it to Bandai the colour matching is really good! Edited July 23 by grogall Quote
sh9000 Posted July 23 Posted July 23 The second one from Yoyakunow dropped into my private warehouse. I'll arrange to have them both shipped together. Quote
Shawn Posted July 23 Posted July 23 picking up some Trouble in Little China vibes with the headpiece there Anyone try GBP armor on it yet? Was curious if the chest part still fits with the 2 seater redesign. Quote
magicsp00n Posted July 23 Posted July 23 Just got mine from Luna Park! Crazy fast shipping. It was in Tokyo yesterday and arrived at my home in the US today. Quote
Shizuka the Cat Posted July 23 Posted July 23 Just got the email from Yoyakunow that my VT-1 is ready to ship. Here are my shipping options: FedEx International Priority 5,285 yen approx. 5 days DHL Express Worldwide 5,823 yen approx. 5 days UPS Worldwide Express Saver 7,542yen approx. 4 days EMS 9,100yen approx. 10 to 20 days Airmail Internatinoal 9,200yen approx. 3 to 6 weeks I guess I will go FedEx, it being the cheapest option and one of the faster ones.

Shawn Posted July 23 Posted July 23 Just throwing it out there...whenever I get a shipment from Fedex, 3 weeks later I get a customs Bill for the amount So saving 600 yen shipping could turn into a customs fee on the cost of the VT-1 Your results might vary, but I'm 2 out of 2 for fedex zapping me with a bill.

Since you can leave comments in your order, can you try asking if they can ship your 2 VT-1 toys separately? Would not hurt to try. Quote

I guess i'll eat the customs fees... Quote
