Collectors: "Guess it comes with the shield afterall... Phew~!" Bandai: "Wait until you see the price. " There were rumors on some FB groups that said the price will be 350,000 yen.... That seems completely ridiculous but just throwing it out there. I'm thinking more 160,000 to 180,000 but who knows, maybe Bandai wants to test the limits. Braaaah - 350K (if true)

Things that I'm looking forward/getting on the announcements: -TV Wing Zero Metal Robot - even it is small, I'm going to get it - G Wing really started the Gundam franchise for me -Red Dragon Astray - Ironically, I just sold my Red Frame reissue a day before this announcement - I was banking that I'm sure they will announce a Red Dragon -Justice Gundam -DX Chogokin VF-1J GBP Armor (The Roy one looks good even it is non cannon) -and ofcourse Sazabi - that big boy looks amazing, will try depending on the price (yep, I like Gundams...lol)

oh man, I can imagine the shelf presence of that Sazabi! woooh! Will try and cop, depending on the price.
I'll be getting the Justice Gundam.
I think I will be passing on the Hi-Nu, I prefer the NU gundam + I got the Metal structure - let's see some pics.

Good morning everyone, I apologize for the delays on sending out the Freedom Gundams. My wife passed away this month, and I'm trying to catch up with everyone. I'm very sorry for your lost - I could only imagine what you are going thru right now. My prayers and thoughts to you and your family. I cousin has been dealing with you and I suggested him to contact you as I can tell you from the feedback that you have no issues in delivering products. My condolences.

ok, this tax thing is making me jump back on my desk to take a closer look. And the future looks pretty grim T_T now The price of the Sentinel Final Dancuga is listed at ¥45,055 (this is the price with the 10% japanese tax) (before ,,,if you add this to your cart for international orders they will take 10% off making the item prices at 40549 yen) Now, when you add this to your cart the new price is 44,441 yen. which is only 614 yen off , that is only around 1.3 % off. (shipping to san Francisco 8.5% sales tax) If you change shipping address to a city with different sales tax the new amazon price will change too. 44,750 yen (shipping to Daly City 9.2 % sales tax) So looking at that, it like Amazon is taking the japanese 10% tax off and then add in the state city sales tax of where its shipping to. Oh, so is Amazon JP charging local tax (in your area) now? They stopped shipping to NZ, since last year December since our new tax laws has been announced lol - it says please shop at Amazon US, haha! This looks amazing, sadly, I cancelled my PO - but yeah lets see if I can sell some stuff and get this

Jokes aside, who is actually going to get the Sazabi? Unless it somehow impresses me way more than Nu did, most likely a pass for me. Nu and the double Fin Funnel already did a lot of damage, and I still need to make room on the shelf for a permanent display. Currently have no room for the same kind of setup, and I am not sure how much more surprises a Sazabi can give me, as nice as it may be. Let's see what price would be, I'm sure it would be all sorts of awesomeness - but I'm more than happy w/ my NU, let's see

Is yours EMS on Nippon Yasan? I finally got them to ship my launcher strike part. I made a ticket and I chatted with their service to increAse my ticket priority for their response. After every one of my response i wrote, i messaged their chat to boost my ticket. It was annoying, but i changed from EMS to DHL by paying additional 40 bucks (such a rip off) If you have your order in EMS, Nippon Yassan will not ship until covid situation allows them to ship via EMS. They dont even let you know your order is stuck which is the dumbest part Wait what? so you already paid EMS shipping and then you have to pay an additional $40 for DHL??? for such a small item 40 for DHL? awwwwwww, what a rip off. leeboo1211 hahaha! we were just talking about it and yeah this shows up! I'm sure this would be mega colossal cause it is 99% it is a Sazabi.

yeah looks like the Londo Bell is the sign and I'm sure they will try to milk what they can with this one before moving to the next one. Were you able to balance your one dude? thanks Nah I'm just gonna wait and see if Bandai got more evil plans... I prefer asymmetry lol. I mean ar this point they could feasibly do a Hi-Nu pretty easily, or Sazabi. Fair call and well played! Yeah, they could probably do the Hi Nu Easy - I wouldn't be surprised if thats the next Metal Structure.

Bloody Bandai, they knew you need 2x to balance it out! hahaha! I'm good with 1x set just like in the anime, lol Or the soon to be announced HWS set to weigh it down properly! yeah looks like the Londo Bell is the sign and I'm sure they will try to milk what they can with this one before moving to the next one. Were you able to balance your one dude? thanks

Finally had time to sort out the funnels and it looks gorgeous! My concern though which is already a given is it tends to lean more on the right side now with the funnels - any thoughts or feedback on that? TIA What the world is telling you is that you need a second set to balance it out!! XD Bloody Bandai, they knew you need 2x to balance it out! hahaha! I'm good with 1x set just like in the anime, lol

My concern though which is already a given is it tends to lean more on the right side now with the funnels, do I just need to readjust the position of the legs cause looks of weight to support goes to the left leg (abit of a concern) - any thoughts or feedback on that? TIA

Till now my fin funnel still not yet shipped..they prompt reply to ask for extra money upgrading to EMS...after paid.. No news for the shipping..i corresponded at least 12th to 13th times in a 1 month period using their unhelpful chat..as the ticket staff did not bother to reply.The staff always say we will look in to it.. And email u... But nothing happened..Nippon yasan is my worst nightmare. Some people commented that they over pre order p bandai executive stuff and cannot fulfil the order when item was launched.. Most of the executive items needed to pay full amount which is 6 month before release.. If you pay using credit card,asking for refunded won't be valid, only 90 day for credit cards, PayPal I think is 180 days.. I ordered a MP TF from them and they haven't shipped it - so I called my bank and filed a dispute. They have been really good to me for the past few years however I see alot of people complaining about there orders not being shipped. They have the most useless customer service! Anyway, I got my refund and will be staying away from NY. All the best and hopefully it gets resolved man.

I cave in as well and pre ordered since the price at Okiland was only for 220 USD. Crazy that A-E had it for 35K and still sold out. I'm avoiding NY now - still hasn't ship my transformer BTW, I heard anything good about Okini land - can someone please share their experience with them? Thanks I've purchased from Okiniland a few times and they have come through each time. thanks mate! hkj711 Good to be reassured! I would avoid NY now I have been hearing stories from our members that they haven't shipped some P bandai strike parts which got released last April. They are starting to get worst it seems. I got my bank involved now and looks like I will be refunded. All the best and hopefully they ship your fin funnels! I just got my mine, and the box is surprisingly heavy! I haven't had time to put them together.

ah NY - I haven't received my MP TF from them, never had a problem with them before - but looks like people are not receiving their orders is becoming often now.
I have reached out to my CC provider - Dammit I have a SH Figuarts PO'd from them. arrrrgh.
Anyway, I'm all good without the lightning pack, I'll stick with the ones that I saw from the anime hehe!
Looks like there is a 2nd batch - 2021 June release i think

Hey guys. A bit off topic but I seriously need some help here. Back in Jun 2019, I pre-ordered 2 set of SUPER DIMENSION FORTRESS MACROSS - DX CHOGOKIN MOVIE VF-1 STRIKE / SUPER PARTS SET from NY. It was for the 2nd release run so NY told me the release date for it would be April 2020. Now it's almost Aug 2020, but NY still have not shipped the sets to me. The item shows OOS at their website. I sent inquires asking them whether they have the stock and where they will ship, but they never replied back. I paid 21300 yen total shipping include for this order, so it's not a small amount. I contacted PayPal, and PayPal told me since the original purchase was made more than 1 year ago, I cannot create a dispute. Is emailing NY the only way for me at this moment? I was thinking calling my credit card company to do a charge back for it, but I'm worried I will lose my PayPal account. I am in the same boat. Still waiting for N-Y to ship mine. Damn, I have been hearing some bad stuff from NY - I'm now waiting for my MP-49 Black Prime - released last month - still no word Customer service is terrible! I got some Vegito Figuarts pre-ordered and I'm not expecting those to be shipped anytime soon. I will now avoid NY from now on.

I actually really like this soul red Destiny, just sold my OG one to get this. The color pops and also I like the new wings small change w/ with a rainbow effect on it. totally agree with you!! Definitely I will get 1 of it!!!!!! When is PO? It is a Tamashii exclusive event item - which they do every year - for less popular ones they later on put it on the P bandai site, but for popular ones like the S. Freedom Soul Blue they put it via lottery. I just pre-ordered from a local store on my place. Goodluck, I hope you can find one!
