Cruel April fools atmos.  

 

So I've managed to repurchase 2 copies on ebay after getting agreement from the sellers to ship by DHL. They lifted their prices to account for the increased cost. Fortunately the cost increase over my original atmos shipped price only mostly came down to paying GST since atmos didn't charge it.

For those like me that had their atmos orders returned to sender, I recommend trying to approach ebay sellers to ship by DHL if you're not prepared to wait for EMS to resume operating. I tried other avenues such as Buyee (don't have atmos as a seller) and Zenmarket (atmos refuse to ship to them) but they didn't amount to anything. Tenso (which owns Buyee) said they could offer DHL (it's not in their shipping interface) but I worked out it was going to be a fair bit more expensive than ebay so didn't bother.

 

Dogged determination right there. Now just the Green Bape for a reasonable price...

 

Haha I'm destined to never own it! Which is not the worst thing, it's good to have at least one (or two for me including FT-07x Stomp) unattainable grails.  

 

Congrats! Yours must have been one of the lucky ones to make it out. Mine was also posted on the 1st but got returned to sender. But I do wonder if my queries triggered the returns since they were only returned the day after I lodged the queries.

One of mine has made it to Australia while the other one hasn't moved yet.

 

My two MP-10DCs both arrived this week via DHL. One came with the box crushed at the top but fortunately the figure was fine and the other came in great condition to keep MISB.

I actually like it more than expected, it really stands out among the other MP-10s!

 

Mine is still in Kojimachi Japan.

 

Three months in the waiting, my duck Convoy has arrived.

A word a caution, the matrix chamber is painted green not cast in green plastic. Placing the matrix in the chamber will rub the paint away expose a very orange plastic.
