here hoping for the best, just finalized my 2nd payment with my Taobao agent after waiting 2 weeks for the stock to come in . The Grand Total came out to around $131 with EMS shipping. Now back to the waiting game. You got a way more generous Taobao agent than I did, haha.

here hoping for the best, just finalized my 2nd payment with my Taobao agent after waiting 2 weeks for the stock to come in . The Grand Total came out to around $131 with EMS shipping. Now back to the waiting game. You got a way more generous Taobao agent than I did, haha. This is my first Taobao purchase so I looks around and decided on using www.bhiner.com. It' has a easy to us interface with build in prices and shipping calculation. Their communication is great too , when I ask them something they replied back in a couple of hours in standard English. Their service charge is low and their shipping is fair . But read the fine prints on how some of the shipper weight is calculated . For DHL and FedEx they will use volume weight , which is base on measurement on top of the actually weight . So this item ended up with 3.5 kg volume weight even thought it's actual weight is 1.5kg. DHL ended up being $60. So I sent them a message to change my shipping to Ems and in a couple of hours they reply back with the changed EMS price and the 1.5kg weight that EMS uses. Which is $41 . But for those Mint in box collectors this might not be for you because once your item arrived at their warehouse , they will open your item and sent you a pic of your actual item so you can check if it's missing anything,maybe they check it too , but not sure. I assume this is their way of lowing chargeback issues with products incomplete , obliviously broken , etc. covering their own in a way. Works for me.

I'll remember that site for the future. The one I used also opened and photographed and resealed it, but they charged me an enormous shipping fee and didn't open it to negotiation.

I don't keep up with this section of the forum so no idea of what you're talking about but yes it's the MKII and it came in today and is freaking glorious. I'll get some pics and stuff going a bit later and try to check for the correct thread.

Its the latest discussion in the thread here (http://robotjapan.proboards.com/thread/25369/3rd-party-mb-gundams-kos), but this one's probably just as appropriate. Your first impressions are inspiring some confidence this might be a good piece.
