Does anyone have both the Entry Grade Zero-One model kit and the SHF? I wanna know how those two look next to each other.

Been catching up on Zero-One lately and looking at how cheap some of the DX stuff goes for on Mandarake, I'm having a very hard time convincing myself not to go crazy and buy all the belts and upgrades that are currently in stock. I've got about $180 worth of stuff in my cart across two locations. Only thing holding me back is shipping cost.
Edit: Ended up skipping the upgrades for now, and also decided fuck Thouser, I really don't need his driver, cutting the cost of the order in half. Just ordered the Shotriser and key holders plus Rushing Cheetah pack from one location and the Forceriser and Flying Falcon key from another location. Hopefully it's all in stock!

Right now is just such a bad time to order DX stuff. Since every Japan-based retailer is only shipping to the US via DHL, and DX stuff tends to have MASSIVE boxes compared to action figures, it's the very opposite reason you'd want to use DHL since you're paying for the volume rather than the weight.
Also, from my personal experience, Mandarake is fairly generous with their cancellation policy. The only Japan-based retailer I've dealt with that is genuinely strict about cancellations is AmiAmi, but even then, they aren't going to blacklist you over one cancellation. |

I've only requested a partial cancellation once from AmiAmi a few years ago and they were willing to do it and I wasn't banned. They definitely said it was done out of courtesy and that excessive cancellations could result in restrictions or a permanent account closure.
I also do not like using any of the courier services like DHL, UPS and Fedex either because you are always guaranteed to have to pay customs + their "handling fees". Although I am in Canada not the US but I can't imagine it's too different. |

Nah, in America it's completely taken care of for you. I've been importing stuff from Japan for around 7 years now and never had to pay for anything more than the product and shipping.
DHL is pretty fucking incredible as long as you learn to estimate what's going to fit in their cheapest box. My last 2 orders from Mandarake were from Nagoya and Akihabara. Both orders were around 20 So-Do boxes each, totaling around 70 USD, and shipping was only 16 USD. DHL is unbelievably fast, so I won't complain. |

Ah, that's nice then. I guess if that's the case, the custom fees is due to them having to bring it over to Canada from the US since it seems like packages from Japan arrive in the US first before coming over to Canada.

I ended up just paying for the Shotriser. Was running out of time. Gonna try sending an email asking if it's possible to cancel the Forceriser.
