My actual order on their site still indicates an expected arrival date of Dec. 25 too... Weird.

Is EMS usually still pretty fast around the holidays? I know going SAL or whatever the slowest option may be is a bad idea so don't really want to just change that (realized from earlier the time of year it is heh). But if I ship it back home with usual EMS speed... assuming their stock isn't delayed... I could probably fit a Figuart in my luggage...

I already pay off Duke a while ago. I guess they will start shipping out soon along with the Yomi Ryugen set soon. I choose Eco - SAL Registered to ship out my item, so I will likely get mine around the last week of the year or the first week of January.

So I'm assuming because nobody's brought it up again that it was just a typo and Duke hasn't actually been released yet?

Either way, I probably should just go pay it...

Duke's release date according to Bandai is the 17th http://p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshoute...em-1000090556/ so yeah not out for another week

Glad I'm paying it off this week...

Bleh, last time I checked it just said "December"...

And greeeeat now I'm back to worrying about where it's shipped then. >_< Who knows when NY will get their stock, but if its within days of that... I'll be out of the town it's being shipped to and stupid policies and ugh...

I double-checked my email and turns out it did say Duke was in stock, though I didn't have to pay until the 22nd. I still have SIC Leangle Jack as part of this month's order and that's not in stock yet or going to be soon, but just in case I paid anyways.

They updated the date by the end of November, as I recall.

I never got my e-mail on Duke yet :(. I did bought Hibiki when I was in New York City and I love it. I would put him on my favorite figures of 2014 since everything about him is amazing. I never notice any bad paint on mine since all of the weapons are nicely detail and painted. Hibiki himself is very beautiful to look at when holding him and putting him on display.

I can't seem to find pics that convince me either way so I gotta ask: was the Lord Baron shown a while ago a posable figure or a Zero statue?

Happy to report that my latest batch of Tamashii items for once seems to be QC issue free. A general inspection of Buujin Gaim, Femme, Den-O Wing Form, Side Machine (as well as Broly & Ultraman King) has for once left me happy about my purchases.
