Here is where N-Y shines. They seem to consistently ship first. I went AE for Tracks and no word of any kind yet.

I disagree. I think this is where they lack the most. I have bought numerous items from them and when it comes to preorders they are always ship after HLJ. I even had an occasion where I went with EMS and they waited 3 days before mailing it. What it boils down to is they only ship items on a certain days. Not hating, this is just my experience. I still use them often.

(...I was completely turned off of Lazerwave by that color they went with, to the point I'll likely skip it altogether... which is saying something as Shockie is a "1A" fave of mine)

FT-03T looks effin' amazing in my books - lookin' forward to adding it to the collection!

I think it is a bit light too. But that's what I have an airbrush for.

My email from NY said the release date was pushed back to the 14 and to wait for their email to pay.

If Shockwave had been teal and the Decepticon logo the same, I would cower at the site of most bridesmaids.

How much did NY want to charge for shipping MP-25?

HLJ is charging only 880 yen for Unregistered SAL, 1290 yen for Registered SAL, and 1450 yen for EMS shipping.

Meanwhile, Amiami is charging 680 yen for Unregistered SAL, 1090 yen for Registered SAL, and 1680 yen for EMS shipping.

This is why I stopped shopping at NY.
