I got mine from Amazon Japan which is surprising that they shipped a Bandai item to the US. Good thing with them is that they use DHL which is more reliable at the moment than Japan Post.

DHL is one of the safer options for shipping right now so I wouldn't worry about using them (yet) Unless you mean being careful about the virus sticking to the packaging?

The virus can only live about a day on cardboard and a new report says that sunlight can kill the virus so anything shipped internationally should be pretty safe. Just spray the outside box down with Lysol or something then wash your hands since that's the only thing the delivery person would have contact with.

what i meant was since there is a full curfew in some countries and there is only a limited number of flights there will be a huge delays in shipping
and thats another point as you know these figures are been made in Hong Kong and its been handled by a huge number of people until it get to you
so just to be safe for me i will keep my stuff until things better

Just spray the outside box down with Lysol or something then wash your hands since that's the only thing the delivery person would have contact with. My point exactly. As long as you handle the shipping box with care the contents should be safe. what i meant was since there is a full curfew in some countries and there is only a limited number of flights there will be a huge delays in shipping

Curfew doesn't effect shipping companies in general. And it's only an issue if you use SAL shipping or the like. Private shipping companies in general don't have issues sending parcels between countries. They might not be as fast due to some movement restrictions, but the main problem is the extra workload. And like what GPA above said the virus doesn't live long enough for it to be a problem for the contents of a shipping box.

true, but like you said the movement is very limited, specially in here they need a permit from the ministry of interior to be able to deliver packages to customers
another thing, in here all the shipments must be sterilized before they delivered it to the customers which add more time (not sure if its only in my country or all countries)
at the end its not worth the wait or the headache, as you know the longer the shipping and handling, the higher the chance of the package to get damaged, mine have a nice dent on the side
i saw but did get it sadly lol

That looks pretty sweet, I wish Obari-sama would push to have a Dangaio in the FA line. It would be a perfect match, no high-cost engineering and tooling for a combining and thus larger Dangaio and you get the Obari-sama design flair with maximum articulation.

I am waiting for Dancouga, Tryder or Gunbuster.

I'm waiting until May before I consider shipping my HLJ PW, since I've still got a few POs scheduled for this month anyway.
I could go for a Dangaioh and Gunbuster. Orgun would be neat. The Mashin from Rayearth would also be cool, but I think there was somebody else working on some?

DHL is shipping with no problems since they have their own fleet of planes. I got Figuarts Goku from Amiami yesterday and GX-90 should be in today coming through DHL as well. Japan Post is the one that is really backed up and I would recommend not using at the moment.

I got my copy thanks to DHL. I love the figure. Elbows are tight though.Paint is fantastic and this is great Combattra design. Another pic. ONly complaint I want to say is the upper chest likes to expose the innards of Combattler V. This does not happen to Voltes V nor Daimos. Still I love the figure.
