Did any members order aile strike from otakumode on Apr 28? They should give 16% cashback but there was a system error that they only gave out 6% cashback. I emailed them and they issued me the missing cashback. thanks, I didn't even notice . did you ask them for the extra 10% back? Yes. I pointed out on the product page, it says: [+10% TOM Points!] Premium members can earn an extra 10% cash back on this item by pre-ordering by May 12, 2018, 11:59 pm (PST). And they had the 6% cashback site wise on that day, so the total cashback should be 16%. Their customer services are super cool and issued me the missing cash back in 2 days.

Yeah I was F5ing TOM like crazy and finally got one. Had some credits in my account and the final price is around $225 shipping included to Canada. Not bad. nice,, looks like they added 1 more now too. Thanks f360! I like TOM. They package the item very well. Only thing I don't like, so far I got taxed by Canadian custom for every package they sent.

for those that missed out the MB strike and is in the USA or Canada for free shiping. The US MSRP is probably $275 Try refreshing this otakumode page , they started posting it up for preorder today, but was sold out fast. I saw 1 left or 2 left here and there. otakumode.com/shop/5ae48fa65c9ea3075a2fd092?ivc=5f4bffYeah I was F5ing TOM like crazy and finally got one.

What the heck is going on this time? MB aile strike sold out, yf-19 sold out. How many of them were bought by the true collectors? Received the possible cancellation email from HLJ as well.

Err missed ny. How much does ny charge for sal small parcel? I went with hlj and I know hlj charges around 1000 yen for sal small parcel for item around this value, at least that's the shipping fee for metal robot sf.

According to Toyz-King(ebay) aka LCM Toy, he keeps telling he should get his stock at the end of March...so...I dunno. I placed my order with him in the beginning of Feb. Good luck. Hope he doesn't scam you like he did me Lau from lcm toys seems to be a decent guy. I bought the dark version voltron from him without any problem. I also have the anime color one pre-ordered at his place. When eBay had the 20% off code last time, I bought from his ebay store again, and asked him if he could cancel my previous order and kept the ebay one since it's much cheaper for me with the 20$% code. He said no problem and refunded me my first payment right away.

Can anyone who bought the MB avalanche via p bandai usa let me know if it came with the brown shipping box? Also, Bandai usually improves their figures using re-issue. Is this the same case for mb avalanche? Is the p bandai usa re-issue version better than the original one?

I bought the last one. And from the paypal transaction, it shows toysz-king is lcm toy. Yes they the same. I bought their Black Voltron from last month and noticed that. Lol funny you bought last one. I hope they still ship mine DHL since they are losing almost $60. 😀 They are not losing anything. eBay is paying for the discount.

Guys question here, my friend bought a MB 00Q but both shoulder joints are broken. He bought from a local hobby store and the store told him to contact Bluefin USA for repair. Will Bluefin offer repair service for the broken joint, and if they do, how much do they charge?

I'm going to skip this one. Does anyone notice Sentinel cheats on the red parts? In the sample figure they showed before release, all red parts on shin getter's body were painted. But the red parts on the final product are un-painted, plastic red. I'll wait for in-hand reports to confirm this or not. Usually Sentinel products are painted from head to toe. It could be the matte finish on some of the plastic look like it's unpainted. It's kind of confirmed that the red parts are un-painted in this amazon jp review. Translated by google translator: The coloration of the unpainted red plastic part is bad, it looks crappy with plastic feeling rounded out. Especially the head is so, it is very conspicuous. I think that you know from the beginning with the characteristics of red plastic. It is a high price item and I wanted it to be painted. The chest and abdomen are connected by a double ball joint, but the lower side is immediately removed. Structurally, the upper side is also removed temporarily, you can only fit on the bottom after fitting down first, but since the lower side is loose and the upper side is hard, if you try to fit the upper side, the lower side will come off again. I managed to fit it in by injecting silicon spray on the upper side. Please be aware that it is easy to come off when twisting in the horizontal direction. The machining of Mazinkaiser was wonderful, so I was expecting very much, but it is only the size that is winning. I could not get as much satisfaction as Mazinkaiser. It is cool as a modeling and the pose is decided, but it is very disappointing that the sweet part is touched as a toy as a toy.

For Canadians, make sure to get the Rogers Platinum Mastercard. 4% cashback on foreign currency transactions. Minus the 2.5% fee and you end up with 1.5% cashback on all jap figure purchases. 1.75% cashback on all other purchases. Pretty neat! Annual fee is $30 and you can get it waived if set up a pre-authorized bill payment with Rogers/Fido. I'm loving this card!

Really? Ship to Canada is a bit slight high compare with NY to CDJ... ... there is only $800YEN difference! I only have to paid $18580YEN with NY. 2900 yen by boat, 1 - 3 months to arrive. I think other members were talking about by air, 5000+ yen. Last time I used NY's boat option and it only took 1 month to arrive in Canada. If you are not in a hurry, use 2900 yen boat option.

Thanks shintitan and s_Gokin for the answer. Where can I get the black or colored one for the cheapest price? I checked lcmtoy website, and it charges me extra $36 for shipping even the product webpage says "Free Worldwide Shipping". you can try www.toyercityhk.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=334They have it for $212 before shipping. since I've never purchase anything from them , I don't have anything good or bad to say. But their price is probably the lowest right now. Thank you f360! I'm going to ask them if they can give me a better deal if I buy both black and anime color.

It's pretty normal on this forum that some members expect to pay retail price for hard to find figures on BTS section of the forum. This is my post for selling GFFMC 1002 and 1003 back in 2011 (way before their reissues). I was asking the lowest price at that time. But look at the hate I got from one member: robotjapan.proboards.com/thread/19193/all-sold It's a free market. If you don't like my price that's totally ok. but don't give other people an impression that I'm committing a crime for not selling the figures at retail price.
