Just in case anyone was still thinking about this one, HLJ has it on sale right now for 48% off at ¥13,520. A good price for anyone still on the fence.

Yeap. Just ordered one. $170 with EMS shipping included. Still more than I wanted to pay, but Amazon's price just keep going up with no drop in sight. Should get it this week... if HLJ ships it on time that is. . That will be the third "expensive" Bandai Space Battleship Yamato in my collection. }D

Three days have passed since I placed my order, to be shipped EMS. I just checked my account in HLJ and the order is still processing - not even shipped yet! What is the point of paying for EMS shipping when HLJ is just going to take their sweet time shipping the package out?!!! I just hate inefficiency, and even more so when it affects ME! }[

I always use the FedEx option at HLJ. It is almost just as fast as EMS, maybe an extra day or two, but is usually a good deal less $$$ on heavier stuff.

I'm sure the sale is applying pressure to the staff just trying to keep up. If you order during normal period HLJ usually ships reasonably fast despite the shipping method. Having said that I debated between this and general franky.

Good advise! I'll wait until they ship it and then send them an angry e-mail.
Thanks!

Kinda thinking about it at that price.. though I haven't sat down and watched 2199 yet. I wish they'd do an Arcadia. That would look boss with my Harlock 1/6th

That would look boss with my Harlock 1/6th Actually, Bandai is indeed making a SOC Arcadia. The prototype was shown recently at a toy show (forgot which one it was, the recent one). The sculpt looks sharper and sleeker than the old Aoshima version. But it won't be as heavy, as the Aoshima is like 80% metal.

The 2199 Yamato is really nice though, so I don't know if you really want to pass it up at that crazy price. I am really enjoying mine, even though I paid 17000yen for mind (still pretty good).

Shout at HLJ and express your displeasure. Emailed HLJ and got a reply. HLJ basically said "sucks to be you". Here is what they wrote: "As you might imagine, we have been processing a huge number of orders since our clearance sale started. Please understand that we can never guarantee next-day shipping on any order, anytime; nor do we state anywhere that we can do that." Buyers that like to use EMS/Fedex/DHL, be aware of this before you decide to spend the extra cash for expedite shipping at HLJ... }|
