I keep checking to see if anybody who bought from amiami had their DX Voltes shipped yet. Their customer service is terrible or nonexistent. Can’t ship with DHL, EMS is not operational to USA and surface might take as long to receive if I just wait for EMS. 😂
Good I had second order with USA vendor
Only great thing about delay it was an expensive December paying car insurance, dmvregistrations, home stuff and bills for me.
I was little concerned about paying for two DX Voltes V would give me credit card statement shock. 😛

So, after having it a couple of days I am staring to have a little buyers remorse. Not because it's a bad figure, quite the opposite because it's outstanding! It's just after getting DX Combattler a couple of days ago I'm realizing I spent a lot between the two. I've paid a lot for some choice gokin before, but not this much, especially for something I have no nostalgia for. Am I nuts? You can always unload it. One lesson about buying expensive Gokin is you have to really want it and have some attachment and/or love of anime. Otherwise you’re just buying expensive toys. If you think about it the cost of these are monthly car payments. |

I receive an email from AmiAmi, the next day after I paid my DX Voltes. This is what was mentioned in the email. “We are contacting you to inform that your order has been placed on hold for shipment. This is due to a temporary shipping suspension to your country/region, and your order will be shipped once shipping resumes. The suspension is affecting the following shipping methods: EMS, Air and all SAL shipping methods. ”. This is response or answer I’m looking for.thanks I might just let my copy go then. |

I have my second copy with eKnight where I put small down payment. . They said they Feb/March window. Personally I might let my Ami copy go since there support is so unresponsive. Worst is having $600-700 piece sitting there in warehouse when I can use that money for something else. I wouldn’t feel so perturb if they at least respond to our emails. Probably they cant answer all the over whelming queries since they opened theyre pre O in such a long time. I am still hoping thou but not to get dissappointed I need to look somewhere else as well. Yeah I have until next week to pay but I don’t feel good paying for it. I totally understand pandemic issue but their invoice says: Will ship item once we receive payment. !! Which is misleading because EMS is not available to USA! |

I haven’t been there since they moved I assume this fixed the lack parking availability. I also stopped going because POPS were taking over. 😂

PILE FORMATION!!!Pile formation went decently smooth, with a little bit of confusion on Rom & Kenryu's 180 legs rotation because the instruction wasn't clear, with some pictures rotated, some not. But once you have things all line up correctly, they tabs in pretty firmly and no room to wiggle around unlike the SOC, which is very nice. One minor gripe is the front red hip of Baikanfu. Turn out it is white plastic painted red. With the combination, you will see some red paint wear on the tabs and the edges revealing white underneath. Wish they used red plastic and just an additional white plastic piece for the white waist. But all the articulation joints lineup perfectly. Very impressive.  This pile formation reminds me when I took anatomy class dissecting frogs and other animals. 😛 But it is impressive looking beast. |

I’m going to hold off paying Ami until they confirm they will ship with EMS. They did put in the invoice they can’t ship with DHL when I requested due to batteries.

I wonder if AmiAmi's stock is in already? Anybody here ordered from Nippon-Yasan? They have NOT received their allotment yet per their message. As for my other order from CDJapan, that is scheduled to arrive any day now. If you look at DX Voltes V order in your account it says In stock for Amiami. |

I wasn’t sure if I received Pose+ Goshogun 2019 or 2020 but looked in my order history and see it was shipped in late Jan-2020.
If that’s case I put vote Pose+ Goshogun for sure.
The other stuff it’s still pending shipping.

I do my best not insult collector’s personal taste.It’s nothing personal to anybody in this forum. All RJ bros here.
I think I’m just so sick of transformers ever since my use to be friend texted me 161 photos of his new transformers non stop I got so sick of them. Needless to say I blocked him. 😂😛
I don’t have these but they are on order but these two maybe contention:
CCS Toys Gurren Lagann
DX Voltes V
