ok so the last 2 days i was trying to figure out the new stupid payment system HLJ have, i couldn't find the link to pay for my stuff in my account, and they didn't sent me an email with the link it, i emailed them but its the weekend, after a lot of reading i found out they will charge me automatically as soon as i update my payment info !? on top of that i end up paying an extra $20
could some one please explain WTF is going on ?

Bader thanks for the video. I liked seeing all three together but the SOC really looks good with the SRC.
Hey S_gokin check your junk mail box or do a search through all your mail. I logged onto their site and saw where they said that they requested payment from me but I didn't the email until an hour later. You're right in that there is no way to log-in and just pay the request. That seems rather stupid to me. We should be able to do it and be able to prepay for our purchase at anytime if we want to.
I hope you can find the email or figure a way to pay soon. I'm cheering for ya!

Well that sucks....
I know not all bros have access, but Thats whats so good about buying from U.S. Stores i guess. Super SUPER customer service....it might be worth that extra $20 for better service to get it from Amazon and BBTS.
of course there ARE items ONLY Japanese stores will carry....

Golden week is this week, not last week. Most stores will only open for a couple of days at most

Can the knees in fact bend this deep? And how solid are the connections at the knees? View AttachmentYes they do go that deep! I didn't think so at first, because here's 2 joints at play. There's a flap on the T-Rex's shin that folds out to reveal a metal connector peg. So you have the range of motion from the T-Rex's knee to start. That's somewhat hindered by the grey triangle piece you see in the photo, which looks like it's there for support. The Sabertooth & Triceratops have another joint to allow the knee to bend further. That joint is well hidden and very tight to move, so it holds well. The connection peg is a little strange, it doesn't look like it has an explicit clipping point - it just seems like a post into a hole. But it holds very securely and passes the shake test somehow! If i have one complaint about the toy, it's that the sword and shield holding in the hands leaves a bit to be desired. They rely on the hands closing tight around them (ie they have no peg that slots into the palm for support). The shield more so than the the sword, has a tendency to be a bit loose.

Hey bud, Does the figure have double jointed elbows? From what I heard its a NO but wanted to confirm. Thanks!

Thanks for the update. I do find it strange Bandai opted for such a simplistic and outdated way to hold the sword. Also the lack of fixed posed hands also raises an eyebrow. Nevertheless, I'm still super excited to get him in hand.

Yeah it is a bit strange, even if the handles were hexagon shaped instead of circular it'd probably reduce movement. You can use his moveable thumb to help sandwich the peg in place though, which helps.
Side by side with the SRC it's amazing how differently proportioned some of the decals are. On his shoulders for instance, there's a black triangle to the inside of red M. It's actually bigger on the SRC!

question, its looks like HLJ now is offering multiple currencies on the site, should i pay in Yen or in my local currency ? do you have a screen cap of this? When you place your preorder did you select paypal? or is that not an option anymore? screen cap? ok so the last 2 days i was trying to figure out the new stupid payment system HLJ have, i couldn't find the link to pay for my stuff in my account, and they didn't sent me an email with the link it, i emailed them but its the weekend, after a lot of reading i found out they will charge me automatically as soon as i update my payment info !? on top of that i end up paying an extra $20 could some one please explain WTF is going on ? Where did you upate your payment info? was it with GoInterpay Payment? support.hlj.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005446448-GoInterpay-Payment-Processing-Providerthe $20 could be a currency conversion fee.

Hope they didn't stiff you on your PO they used to do that to me a lot when ordering Super Sentai items way back when from them. hey kamenrider long time no post how you doing ? isn't the golden week is this week ? i didn't take alot of time, i paid on the 2nd day, they sent me an email saying they receive the payment and it went to my private warehouse, now i need to figure out when to ship i preorder it long time ago regularly with PayPal before the GoInterpay system, however when i preorder the GX-75 the GoInterpay system was up, and they let me log into my Paypal like im going to pay then charged me $1 they refund it back tho, this new payment system called Paypal billing agreement i guess when i come to pay for the megazord i didn't find any links to pay and they didn't send me any emails like they used to do, they were just sending me payment issue on your order, we will charge you automatically when you update your payment info, which i did again, then they charged me automatically after reading the link you kindly provide in your post, i understand now why they charged an extra $20 because they charged me in my local currency not in Yen
