I’m just glad that the box is smaller than Combattler and will take up less space.

I ordered from Amiami. I know it’s shipping at the end of the month. Can anyone tell me what the shipping might be? It says to be determined. I’d like to put the money aside.
Thanks

Thanks With how big this thing is plus how they pack, I would say easily more than a 100 USD if using DHL going to the USA. |

Thanks I ordered from Amazon Japan and the shipping is around $83 so I would assume something similar. $100 might be a good amount to put aside. |

Hard to compare costs with Amazon as they get a bigger discount with DHL shipping. Amazon also is a hit and miss with packing stuff properly. Amiami takes their packaging seriously so they'll stuff that DX box inside a significantly bigger box with lots of padding. It'll be heavier and dimensional weight will be bigger as well. $100 is a bit conservative I would say. My personal estimate is up to $150 and I hope I am so wrong that it will be closer to just a 100USD as you said. |

 With that size i believe its more than $100 ship to us by amiami ... And my worries is cant ship to US by dhl express too ..because its contain "batteries" Specifications Size: Voltes V: Approx. H360mm Material: Diecast, ABS, POM, PVC, etc Battery Type: LR41 x3, LR44 x7, AA Battery (AA) x2 (test batteries included) I doubt how amiami can take off the batteries? , I realize when i buy soc gx 29R @amiami , they said to me cant ship via dhl express because its contain batteries , so they ship via air parcel which is takes 2-3 month to ship . If this happen , it will be problem for who want get this package earlier to ship to US if this thing released. Will be advantage for who PO via US retail online store |

That's my other worry as well; the batteries. Although, Hot Toys Iron Man has batteries included although not installed. Those get shipped out without problems. So maybe it will be the same for the Voltes V. |

I never thought about the batteries til you guys mentioned it but when HLJ shipped my DX Mazinger Z, DX Great Mazinger and DX Combattler V, the batteries were not removed from the box. They weren’t installed though.

You’re all scarring me with these projected shipping costs. If it’s $100 or more I’m going to refuse it. The figure is nice but not over $600 nice.

If you live in the USA and your state charges online sales tax, expect that amount to go higher upon payment. :/ |

Fingers crossed that Amiami let this one slide with the batteries through DHL, or else I may need to ship it on a boat T_T. Not much option left do we.

Easily over 10,000 yen that box is big and should be heavy with all the diecast content then pack it box in box and packing material.
I come accept to the norm for 10,000+ For shipping with all the stuff I buy from overseas.
That’s cheap compared to DHL which is double and they do volumetric shipping. I buy Gundam PG models and their shipping is over 10,000 yen and no diecast content.

The battery issue from AmiAmi was a DHL policy. But as of what I read in AmiAmi's site, they are working on other ways to ship the pre order items. Customer who had problem shipping theyre items in theyre country are all over. My guess is that AmiAmi will hold those item that were Pre Ordered and paid and will work out something. Fingers cross.

I don't get it. As it was posted earlier, batteries were not an isssue for previous DXs and now it is?

This is getting really closer guys!  I got the request for payment yesterday from Nippon-Yasan. Hopefully there won't be any shipping issues. |
