The model is finally released in stores. Ah you beat me to it....just found the payment request in my e-mail....where am i going to find the time for all these models? =D Well at least this one is going to be build only, don't know what paint would do to a kit with movement and electronic parts but i think it wouldn't go well (at least for a beginner like me), probably going to start this one before Iron Kong PK. |

Fed Ex seems to ahve REALLY high shipping. I prefer USPS for shipping, at least if i can get it by that way. Plus if somebody stole it in delivery from the USPS it's automatically a federal crime, lol

Plus if somebody stole it in delivery from the USPS it's automatically a federal crime, lol No idea what the exact options at HLJ were, but i believe it was 2 types of FedEx and 2 types of EMS, i just went with the one with shortest delivery time....price differences were like 300 or 400 Yen between cheapest and most expensive, on a model that costs more than 11.000 Yen it doesn't really matter anymore if shipping is 4.300 or 4.700 Yen IMO =D Iron Kong PK shipping was even more expensive, 13.440 Yen for the model and 7.310 Yen for shipping, again at those prices might as well go with the fastest. Apparently AmiAmi is even faster but i don't really like their site layout so i don't know if they are cheaper, more expensive or same price (maybe Vig could chime in there but since he lives in Australia and i live in the Netherlands it's likely shipping prices are going to be wildly different anyway). |

Just too bad I doubt they'll make the CP units for it and the Shield Liger. ANd we've never actually ahd a kit of the Strengthened Saber Tiger armed with the beam launcher used on the Iron Kong MK2 Limited and I-Kong PK. |

Meh, if it looks good i'll buy it  Don't know how it is with these Masterpiece models but original HMM Gojulas has taught me 'you snooze, you lose'. It might be a bit expensive now, but if they become as rare as some models i might thank myself later that i got one right away. Anyway, came here to post it just got more expensive, since FedEx sends the bill for customs a week after, and taxes in my country aren't cheap, so it just got about 55 USD more expensive....or it might be the bill for Iron Kong i can't really tell, perhaps another one will come next week  |
