The third installment of Formania EX is GP-01. No photo shot is allowed at Taiwan Tamashii Exhibition, hence no photo is available at the moment.

The first Metal Build without any markings. I guess it's anime accurate? I don't remember Mazinger has any markings in the anime and video games.

eknightmedia and EE both sold out This has to be the fastest selling MB! I think the fastest selling MB is seven sword g. People were buying it like crazy in order to resell. I saw HK vendors bought piles of boxes of seven sword g. And I remember USA vendors said Bandai only accept <10 orders per store. But since the stock of seven sword g is not as limited as expected, the resale value has not gone up that much. Hope same thing will happen to Quan[T].

I think the owner of Supreme collector is on this forum. Just wondering what's the cancellation policy for pre-order items?

I'm curious since it is my first experience this MB pre order madness, was it also like this for 00 Seven sword? I can tell Strike Freedom, yes, but with other not the most popular Gundams like F91 Do you mean seven sword or seven sword/g? For seven sword g, yeah pretty much the same. For seven sword, it was the first mb. I remember it was available to po for a long time. But the demand suddenly went up after release thus the price hike.

did hlj just change their payment option? Now I only see credit card and PayPal agreement. There used to an option to wait for release of the item then pay.

Lovely. Not going to even bother to attempt the preorder e-streetfight. I'll wait for it to release and get my shot in. And I'm on a road trip. When mb f91 and mb seven sword g were on pre-order, it was a street fight. But look at them now, both of them still can be found at decent price. You can even find mb destiny package at decent price as well (think about how hard it was to get this guy pre-ordered). This is the trend for the recent mb releases. I think it will be the same for the mb quanta, a dog fight during pre-order, then plenty of stocks during release.

Missed that and the HLJ available one. Argh. >_< These d**n e-mails keep showing up when I'm not at the phone. Don't worry this one is not as rare as we think. There are a lot of them on yahoo auction japan for around 24000 yen. You can use a proxy company to buy it if you want it today.

P bandai USA has the seven sword gun for $40, but the shipping is $30... Nin nin game is still the cheapest.

I like the powered red option set after watching the video. NY has it for 24000 yen (was 22xxx yen before but they raised the price as usual). I placed an order with jp post ferry as shipping method (2900 yen, and I don't mind waiting). First time I used ferry as shipping method. Cross fingers that it will come through.

Heck, if I have enough money, I will become a wholesaler and open an online shop, and free shipping within Canada if order is >$50 something like that. But I think it requires a lot of money and effort.

I pre-ordered one at BBTS without noticing the $100 deposit. After I saw that, I cancelled my pre-order. Does the deposit mean the $100 is not refundable if cancel the order? If so I'm screwed...

Hi guys. I have a question about HLJ's Fedex international economy shipping method. I ordered gx-72, vf-31f and forminia ex nu gundam from HLJ for a total of 65000 yen. I was told I only need to pay tax on the 65000 yen if I have a fedex account (no duty. no advanced fee if I have a fedex account). All I need to do is to call fedex and let them know my account number after receiving the tracking number to waive the advanced fee. So I called Fedex to add my account number after HLJ shipped my package. To my surprise the fedex rep I talked to told me there is no duty/tax/advanced fee on this package, so I didn't need to add my account number to waive any fees. At that time I was thinking the tax may not show up yet and Fedex will send me a letter of invoice once the tax shows up. Now my package has arrived for 2 weeks. I still have not received any letter from fedex. Is it normal? Should I call Fedex to confirm? I'm just afraid Fedex forgot to send me the invoice and may put me into collection. PS, forgot to mention I'm in Canada. Just want to follow up for my own post. I called Fedex today and confirmed that there is no fee on this 65000 yen package sent using Fedex international economy. That's right, no tax, no duty and no advanced fee. I paid 5870 yen for shipping and that's it. Last time I used HLJ's EMS for gx-71 + mb blue frame and was charged tax + handling fees. So for the fellow Canadian collectors, you can try HLJ's Fedex economy next time, that is a higher chance you do not need to pay any tax/duty/advanced fee.

So I was playing otakumode's daily random coupon draw every day in May. Most of time I got $3 or $5. Yesterday, for the last draw, I got a $50 coupon! I cannot believe it! It was only valid for 24 hours, so I used it on dancouga immediately. Joined their premium program and got another $5 off. In total paid $195 usd free shipping to Canada. Not bad!
