Oh man. And Big In Japan (at the opening of PO’s) only offered EMS/Airmail or SAL. I’ll contact them to see if there are other options. |

I’ll contact them to see if there are other options. They are close until August 16th for the Obon Holiday . But from their shipping info Orders that cannot be shipped will be stored until postal service resumes provided they are paid for. Alternatively, we can accept requests of shipping method change if your country is still accepting EMS or Airmail. For countries where none of the above is available, we can ship by DHL or Surface Mail. Please contact us. |

Awwwts that sucks, no stand included. Anyhow Kakizaki is not the greatest from the squad but kinda rookie unique. Having 2nd thoughts on getting one or just wait for a newer model Bandai will offer? Thoughts guys? Thanks.

Thoughts guys? Thanks. all dx chogokin vf-1 comes with the basic display stands. It's just that the vf-1J and VF-1S roy will come with a extra display stand for fighter mode. similar to those diecast airplane model stands. But with the extra stands comes bigger size, heavier weight. and that normally equals to higher shipping cost. Since you waited this long, i think you can try your luck at the end of the year when VF-1s roy gets release. But the price for the vf-1A Kakizaki is around 23000 to 27000 yen before shipping. |

I wasn't talking about any re release/ re issue. The vf-1s roy that is already sold out on preorder is going to be RELEASE at the end of this year sometime in November. That means near or at release date you will most likely find more opening from stores that have extra inventory and or some cancels from non-payment customers. That will give you a chance to get it at MSRP of around 19000 yen before shipping. should you missed all the openings then you can look at the secondary market which will most likely be around 27500 yen since there will be many sellers. Then there's also shipping, with covid-19 many air shipping is still suspended, so shipping with DHL or FEDEX can be around 7000 yen (this is for japan to USA) you can also check amazonjp to see if they will ship to your country. (by they are you in the USA?) www.amazon.co.jp/s?k=dx+chogokin&crid=RVSMN3Q4PJGW&sprefix=dx+ch%2Caps%2C208&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-oa-p_1_5Amazon.jp offer the cheapest dhl shipping you can get and they will normally remove tax from the item price to lower is even more. |
