hi, anyone by any chance have the dimensions of the fully assembled sazabi base? the depth and width would be extremely useful. TIA

If you already have to RX-93 and like it, then I would say go all out for the Sazabi (looks soooooooo freaking good) I'm running out of room and since I did not get the rx-93,, or the funnel, ,then I should stay away from the Sazabi (yeah just keep telling myself that) The only Sazabi I have is a 1/200 HCm pro version. ^_^. omg so tiny. The HCM pro version is a damn fine piece to own to be honest, and especially if you have the metallic/titanium finish version. And they hold dynamic poses for years with no sign of loosening.

Only EMS out of Japan for me, even then it’s 2-3 times slower than usual and that is assuming the seller dispatches the package almost immediately. SAL have been suspended, while DHL is still the best, it’s ridiculously expensive at the moment, saving this mode of shipment only for the more important items.
Destination: Singapore.

April was pretty bad for my orders from Japan. I had a pretty big package stucked nearly a month in the post office and thats on EMS. My SAL packages were returned to sender. But i guess Japan EMS have started moving now. Had a few orders on EMS the last 2 weeks and i got them withIn a week or two, pretty damn fast by today’s standards. DHL and UPS are the still the safest bet out of Japan but they do costs a bomb.

Try this: If you are using CHROME: Go to settings Privacy and security Site Settings Cookies and site data On the Clear on exit, go add a URL p-bandai.jp Once do above, close browser and try again copy the PO URL link from the board open a new tab and paste the URL The first time it will give you generic oversea page on the same oversea page, paste the URL again, this time it should lead you to correct page, hopefully.. Thanks for the tips. I use Chrome on my tablet, but don't see "Clear on exit" options in the cookie settings. Try deleting and block cookies just for p-bandai.jp but doesn't change anything. Don't want to side track the thread too much on these, but very appreciate your help, as well as f360's. No word from Bluefin yet on my Nu Gundam PO. Wonder when they will get their stock ready. I think the issue is due to the online site (japan p bandai in this case) ability to detect your local IP address, that’s the reason why it redirect you to your local site. You might want to give VPN a go, if you subscribed to such a service. I use ExpressVPN myself, allows me to buy stuff overseas that do not sell/ship to my country due to licensing issues

I was holding out for a reissue. But the moment i saw the real deal standing in Akihabara’s Tamashii Nations, i snapped and bought one at secondary market price. But what the heck, the RX-93 is my all-time favourite Gundam, I would never forgive myself if I don’t own this haha Now i have to figure out which section of my shelf i need to vacate to hold this bad boy.

Just grabbed a set from NY. How many funnels does it come in a set? Do we need to order 2 sets in order to achieve the double fin funnel look?

Sweet guys we can stick here. Anyone lucky and got a PO? It was a crazy one! I'm already nervous for the inevitable VF-1S Roy! Hopefully they will make that a Tamashii Exclusive one, so that anyone who wants one, can get it.

i wonder why and how people are still using NY they always do this not to mention the %20 they ask more for shipping,
and if they have some stock left they always update the offers and ask for more, a while back they asked a $1000 (without shipping) for the GX-71
this is not ethical man, i know some of you will say its business but you are literally capitalizing on people needs
i wish Bandai will do something about these kind of store and those scalpers, this hobby doesn't need another stopping point from the factory to the end users
The thing is NY have good prices at PO normally (but they overcharge shipping so nothing good there). But the reason I used NY sometimes is that is the only site (the other is ninnin games) where you can't get tamashii web exclusives (I got all my TWE myth cloth ex and some MB from there). Also in sold out items they have similar prices to Ebay and they are rather legit so there you have another reason... Fully agree. End of the day, necessary evil 😅 However, a thing to note is the supposed cheaper PO price for new items. They run out too damn fast! Makes me wonder the actual quantity NY offered for PO, or is it merely a gimmick? Because subsequent prices can be sky high.

I am not taking part of this madness , now nippon yassan price is higher than the SRP and you have to pay upfront. I will wait if it turns out to be great I can start my hunt for a proper priced unit. i wonder why and how people are still using NY they always do this not to mention the %20 they ask more for shipping,

I know, right. Their mark up for high demand items is terrible. Doubt bandai can do much though. Free market and besides, online shops like these are among their biggest customers. Only thing bandai can do additional production runs. But one advantage of NY is they are able to under-declare value of items 😝 Amiami on the other hand are real boyscouts, they refuse to umder-declare even if i had use my points to lower the costs of the items. 😡

They better do! Considering the money we have to fork out to acquire them! On a more serious note, they actually do. All my combiners, God Mars, Godsigma, Daltanius, Daioja and Gun Buster are all holding up pretty well. But also take note that i left them in regular poses e.g. holding their weapons and shields. Nothing too fancy nor dramatic.

Well, i dont mind getting this as long price is on the low side. I have all the SOC space battleship yamato ships, so I don’t mind getting another, especially a new one. Actually there a loads of other garmillas warships in the show that are way nicer, so let’s see if bandai will look into making them.

Any place to still preorder this? Or are all preorders sold out? NY still has it, but price is exorbitant!
