in your order, on the right you should see "invoice". Once its shipped, it should have 2, invoice 1, and invoice. The invoice1 will give you more detail description of the charges. But if it's state sales tax that would suck. T_T

I'll go straight to the point. The shoulder joints are way better than the original. It has light die cast on it and you do not have to worry about breaking it. The paint is fantastic on this guy. This is the best version.

Amiami sent me an email that they can't ship EMS currently. Has anyone used DHL ? Is it better to go with DHL or wait?

Final vs original Is that just distortion on your photo or is something wrong with your Final Dancouga's right shoulder?

Unboxing video: Translucent cockpits, nice move Sentinel EDIT: I'm so amused at some unboxers who don't even bother to read the instructions and just manhandle the figure like it's made of titanium. And then cry if they break something saying that the figure company did a crappy job

But the reviews of DHL online are not good. Fingers crossed. I have the DX Voltes V ordered from amiami too. But I think I’ll avoid ordering from overseas for the time being.

DHL has been superb. I've been using them since EMS stopped and I haven't had any issues.
Anyway, I just received mine and damn, it looks good. I prefer the heft of the KO though. That KO had a lot of diecast especially on the liger and cougar. You could chuck those and somebody can really get hurt. Lol!

Just like any shipping service (ups,fedex, usps) it also depends on the courier that is delivering. DHL seem pretty good in the SF bay area.

Brother, did you order Dancouga too? I did in the beginning but I cancel the order early due to all the Covid-19 news and job cutting going around at the start. Besides I already have the original one and black wing. That should be good enough, haha.

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.

Shouldn't this only apply to orders moving forward after the change rather than being retroactive. I would liken it to Sideshow collectibles handling it. Any pre-orders placed before their official announcement, weren't charged with states sales tax and only applied to purchases after their announcement.

Sadly amazon goes by the shipping date... i was charged 6% tax for MD. I paid for Dancouga with a gift card balance and they charged my CC the tax amount on the 12th after it had shipped. I think i might stop using amazon, the shipping cost hike plus taxes now, they are losing all the advantages they had

I have started to venture into thinking buying from Amazon JP occasionally if the price is right and browsed from time to time, but the stories of bad packaging, now with added sales tax, it doesn't seem worth the risk anymore. Mandarake might be a better venue, if you are patient enough to wait for the item you want to pop up.
