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".

Guys I have a question. Instead of going through all 37 pages, could anyone let me know if the already released back version has the same improvements on the future release color one? Trying to decide if I should buy the black one or the color one?

For people thinking about buying the buster gundam, please HOLD! There will be second batch or even third/fourth batch to fix the existing issues. As far as I know the second batch has been confirmed. It will fix some issues in the current release. What kind of issues does the first batch have? Most common one is the paint scratch on the shoulder part. I read from one source saying moshow (or poisontoy) will pack shoulder parts individually in the second batch. If you can read Chinese, refer to this post: tieba.baidu.com/p/5527263402

As far as I know the second batch has been confirmed. It will fix some issues in the current release. I think a good question to ask is probably: What should I do in order to avoid the first (faulty) batch? Don't buy right now. At least wait for the second batch. Most of sellers will clearly define which batch they are selling. For the previous moshow aile strike, there are 4 batches in total. Same thing may happen to buster as well. Anyway, do not buy the first batch. Just my 2 cents.

Report from toysdaily says #1 suffers from scratches after combination with #2, so be careful when you receive yours.

How can I set the HLJ payment to be not automatic? HLJ used to request payment, but couple months ago they started to do the auto charge thing, and I cannot figure out how to stop it.

My estimation for buying from FJ: [23760 + 700 (estimate domestic shipping fee) + 700 (service fee) + 3500 (shipping to Canada, maybe too much, not sure)] * 1.03 = 29520 yen. Am I close?

Trying again to get it via proxy from FromJapan...here's hoping 2nd time's a charm! Is it actually cheaper this way after proxy fee and shipping, as opposed to AE or Nin-Nin/NY options? I think the proxy companies charge 3% PayPal fee, that is the worst part.

OK now I feel I made the right decision to pre order from nin nin game, 25990 yen plus 5000 yen shipping, also get 1300 yen back for future purchase. I thought 5000 yen shipping is pricy but the price on cdjapan, bandai online, and bbts now is just ridiculous.

P Bandai Japan will open a second round of pre-ordering. But all of these proxy companies need to buy asap for you in order to get it. BTW what's wrong with P Bandai USA? Just open it for our NA collectors!!!

Put in the proxy request to FromJapan. Waiting to hear back. It looks like p bandai japan is sold out right now and they will do a second round. Also yumcha do you know which way is cheaper, use proxy service company to buy (with service fee, shipping to them and then shipping to you, etc), or buy directly from AE, nin-nin, NY?

Thanks! It looks like AE is not able to offer small parcel shipping for this item. Per their rule: not all items are eligible for small packet SAL (economy) the maximum value of the item/s must be below 15000 JPY. I wonder how much will they charge for the shipping. It's impossible to know at this moment. The item should be around the weight of a metal build seven sword/g Its around 1000g. . With packaging its around 1500g. Just use this weight on japan post site will give you the shipping price. You can use this anime-export link. Scroll dowm and click on shipping calculator. www.anime-export.com/product/37468Thanks! Now i feel like an idiot for ordering from Nin ni game. Paid 5000 yen to shipping while AE only charges 1580 yen...

Will AE willing to mark it with a low value? I know NY and Nin-nin are willing to do that. Yes! They do mark the items low value or you can email and request a specific amount Got my SOC Dancouga from them and marked it on a low value. Ordered multiple times from them, no issues, PO'ed my Wing zero Custom GFFMC from them Thanks! It looks like AE is not able to offer small parcel shipping for this item. Per their rule: not all items are eligible for small packet SAL (economy) the maximum value of the item/s must be below 15000 JPY. I wonder how much will they charge for the shipping.

It’s going to be sh*tstorm. Back in stock at Nin-Nin. And it's sold out again. I bought one from them. I don't know if it's the right move. The price at nin nin is not bad, but the 5000 yen shipping gets me hesitated a bit. I know NY will be cheaper, but I'm afraid of not able to get one from NY.
