    This thread's reminding me of how much stuff I still have sitting in the AE warehouse. Anybody heard when EMS and SAL might resume shipping?

    Nadda. Zip. Zero. Zilch. The only info I got was from NY and that Japan Post recently resumed shipping to "some" European countries with no further info on anywhere else in the world.

    DHL is magic. Will be nice for the return of Japan Post eventually, for things I don’t need within twelve hours.

    Stuff that was being held by JP two months ago is only now getting out of Japan so give it more time.

    Goddammit, your shit is pissing me off! :D 

    Seriously, though, glad it's getting through. I ordered Iron Spider and Far From Home Spider-Man from Amazon JP, but they sent some weird anime statue girl instead of the Far From Home figure. :mad:  Now I gotta take it to a DHL location to return. Where are those??! Their site locator doesn't even work for me, so I can't find any! :banghead:

    given your location, I did find this:

    https://www.usastorenetwork.com/dhl/Whiteland-IN/locator.html

    But if there's nothing within driving distance, I think you can call to have them pick it up or something.

    Thanks! I appreciate the help. I did try DHL's website in another browser, and it worked. Found that location and a couple of others.

    That Palpatine does look pretty cool. How does the chair compare to the Hasbro one? Do the guards have any articulation at all? Oh, and does it fit well in front of the Death Star base and window the original Vader came with?

    Not sure if I agree with their weathering. If it's just those simple specks of silver it looks more like paint chipping on an action figure.
    Definitely not the worst though, overall the paintjob looks much more pleasant than the original. And they're getting there, I like what they did with the weathering on EG Cap and Tony.

    Yeah, that's why I was asking here. I do all of my importing through them but I know people here shop all over Japan.

    EMS shipping resumed in Hong Kong recently, but from what I've heard EMS/SAL rely on passenger jets flying, so if there's no travel, it's very limited.
