I ordered my Danguard Aces from Nippon Yasan and got no problems. I guess I was just lucky...

I received my Danguard Ace from NY, but the way that NY shipped it did not have such great packaging and as a result the box was all dinged up when I received it.

Bros, I just got my Poseidon from NY. Ordered on Monday arrived Friday on FedX. Less then a week from japan to USA, from ordering to the item in hand...never had it this fast.
Pros. It came with axes....awesome.
Cons. For those bros who cares about even the outer shipping box from Fewture, NY used fewture shipping box directly and as a consequence, the bottom came crushed with about four inch tear... I myself don,t give a hoot about packaging let alone a shipping box.... FedX left the giant box with a Fewture logo on it right in front of patio where anybody can see it. I of course was out on my dental appointment. I was gone for three hours.
I would def use NY again, but only for in stock items and only if I feel like gambling.... I had to bet on Poseidon with axes and at the lowest price around...

yeah, my dragon was from NY too, and ship directly using the fewture shipper box, pretty bang up when i received it. i'm still waiting for my poseidon, got mine from TnT, and its taking a long time to reach my country.

I'm wondering. Is the Fewture outer box that valuable? I noticed a lot of you guys are upset when NY used the Fewture outer box for shipping... does it help improve the figure's resell value when you guys decide to sell your ex-gokins?

to some collectors, yes. so if one is buying for investment, might want to ensure the brown box is untouch so as to attract collectors who are particular about it. at one stage when i was selling my extra fewture gokins, i have buyers requesting close up shots of the brown box. however, my getter g set is strictly for display purposes, and i have even thrown the brown box just to save storage space.

Hey RJ guys & gals :
DO NOT BUY FROM NIPPON-YASSAN. They sold the items that I have paid for and was in stock. They are willing to offer me a "voucher" less the Paypal refund fee. f**k NO.
(sorry..if I sound a little ranty) The run down.
I have prepaid the Liger and Poisedon at least one month in advance. I receive the extra shipping invoice from NY around December and late February But I am low on cash. I finally have some money to paid for extra shipping.
I submitted additional shipping fees for Liger last weekend. I did not hear anything. So I goto their online customer service. I ask the rep to confirm my shipping payment. She said yes. I ask her will she be shipping the Liger this week. She said maybe. Then I ask her if she still have my item. She said no. She then tells me that the item is now out of stock and that I did not paid for the item in time. I told her that indeed I have paid for the item ahead of release.
So I ask her about the Poisedon. She said that is also "out of stock"
I point out to her that NY would physically have to get a product weight it and then sent me the shipping invoice. So they had my product. Now they don't have it. Huh? She also said the extra shipping fees was for extra packaging. I told her that Eagle was shipped without any additional protection from NY.
How dare they suggest to offer me a refund minus the Paypal refund fee? (okay, I know the rep was only an in between person - I am trying to stay diplomatic)
1. I point out to her that no where on the additional shipping invoice do they require payment in 15 days or set time period. 2. NY obviously would sold my items above the pre-order price, so they profit off items that belong to me. 3. They never send me a followup email informing me what they were planning to do.
I am going to wait my options

I have nothing to add to this thread besides saying that Mazinish's dancing Mazinger gif is pretty awesome.

I am going to wait my options Silver That's very unfortunate. I bought from them a couple times before and it went fine. But I can tell by discussions & complaints that there can be issues with them if unlucky. I think your issue is partly due to you not able to pay for the additional payment invoice right away, cause them to assume you going to cancel the order, and just give it to someone else. Not the best business practice, but I don't think they care all that much when there are folks lining up to get the figure. Like it won't make much difference to them selling the figures to you, or the next guy in line, and really won't hurt their business too much so to speak. NY isn't one of my main go-to stores anyway, so I'll probably buy from them only if I am desperate and can't find an item anywhere else. Hope you still manage to fine Liger & Poseidon at a decent price still. And probably a good idea not to wait too long.

Hi mpchi:
Thanks for the thought. What upset me the most was that I had paid for the product with NY. I would totally be okay for them to let my order go if I had not paid for the goods but that is not the case.
I have been poking around various website and I think there is roughly a $100-$200 markup on the MSRP. I may sit out of this for a while. I am pretty sure Fewture will definitely re-issue these molds again.

Yes, fewture do reissues, but most probably in the form of repaints. i could be wrong, but i never seen fewture do reproductions of the same thing.

No they don't redo things exactly the same, and more often than not the new ones are not as good as the original, the only exception I can think of this is the getter set, the only change was the yellow.

I'd say it is the other way around. The reissues have been better. The colors for getter 1,2,3 were a wash, maybe a bit better for the 1st with the bright white but version 2 came with the vehicle stands. Ryoma version 2 just kills the first version unless you are a huge Fan of purple.

Ryoma version 2 just kills the first version unless you are a huge Fan of purple. The first and second getter sets are pretty much a tie as far as paint goes, if anything I prefer the brighter yellow but the orange yellow is more the originral scheme from the show. The black getter I have neither so i didn't comment on it but I like the repaint better.

We will see a darker Red, Blue and Silver for dragon more along the line of Armageddon/The Last Days. Which won't look better but it will look seriously awesome as well. I am much more fond of the original series colors for G, but the variations are sweet too.
