LOL, at least you don't have to buy the gerbera straight separately was that happening to people? Not at all! I was just taking a crack at Bandai's tendencies to separate important accessories from the main figure and selling them as limited edition. I believe the gerbera straight came bundled for every package of MB Astray Red Frame. Apologies for the confusion.

All international packages go through customs , if you check your previous tracking from Nippon yasan they should all have inbound and outbound of customs . It'll be in customs until it gets cleared, once it's cleared , it'll be dispatch to your local post office . There is no custom fee for toys in the USA . You guys in the US are lucky, we get charged here with customs duties here in Canada. Not if you undervalue the toy

Being one of the few members up in Socialist Canada, I can provide some insight on customs charged on our freights of toys:
Since buying toys online from a variety of Japanese and US vendors since pretty much 1999, I can say that customs charges are a coinflip. Sometimes you will be charged and sometimes you will not. This means, EVEN if the toy is marked as a "gift", you may get charged by customs...it sorta depends on the agent and from the people I've spoken to, pretty random. If I get about 10 parcels in a year (and some can be giant), chances are, I'll get charged on about half of them. Almost guaranteed to get customs on anything arriving from BBTS because I'm usually getting a Pile of Loot shipment. From AmiAmi, Hobby Search, or HLJ...it's hit and miss and I've had some pretty big items arrive from the latter vendors too.
Hope this helps!
But, really, as they say: If you wanna play...you gotta pay. At least in Canada. Grr.

The most I paid recently was for the DX Chogokin Great Mazinger and that was about $70CAD...but, it was a monster box and well, the value posted on the parcel was pretty high.

Web exclusive takes a bit longer to ship out since they have have wait for bandai to ship it out to them first. Unlike normal releases that they normally get a couple of days ahead .

Don't buy from NY in the future. I prepaid already for shipping and now they're asking for more money. " Hello Thank you for your purchase We are contacting you regarding this order Unfortunately this order is bigger then expected therefore we will have to ask you for additional shipping An invoice will be sent out to you via paypal We apologize for the inconvenience Kind Regards

Ouch. So sorry. I hope the additional shipping fee is not too much.
This happened to me before with CDJAPAN.

Sigh , extra shipping fee due to the empty white box and big brown tamashii box , Im really tempted to ask if they will just open it and toss the white box out .

Shipping was an additional 2480 yen, which really burns with the current exchange rate.

I had to pay an extra 2600 yen in shipping for an order that had the Wings, the Star GaoGaiGar option set (another item that NY charged many people extra shipping for), and a RD Viales (from Dunbine). I'm motivated to look for a different seller for exclusives going forward (BiginJapan perhaps).

i received an extra shipping charges for the wings as well from NY which makes the overall shipping charges astronomical for the wings only!

I ordered a set from NY last night. They were the same price as eBay sellers and they all were in Japan so I went with them. I'm playing catch up on a few things so it was $149 with shipping. Sucks but I'm at the mercy of the market now.

Sucks but I'm at the mercy of the market now. If you've already paid for the product and shipping in december last year it completes a transaction . As a retailer they should honor it and absorb the cost since our business was concluded according to the terms set in december. This is just bad business and customer service.
