    Yeah I opened and displayed my Leopardon because they fucked up the box. I wanted it for MISB. Just sucks because I wouldn’t ever sell it off now cause it’s below my personal standards by a wide fucking margin. I pride myself on caring for these things, not treating them like shit. If I sell something or give it to someone else I feel it’s condition reflects me as a collector. And in this case Amazonjp took that from me.

    That’s really sucks but I’m curious what you mean by this is the first tome they’ve used non-bulletproof packaging? Are you saying they normally use solid packaging for you because all I’ve ever seen from them is plastic bags or tissue boxes?

    That's correct. Up to this point, everything I have received from them has been in a cardboard box (with airbag padding or shrink-wrapped to an internal sheet of cardboard).

    yeah im with fschuler on this one. Granted i've only ordered like around 3 things total from amazon.jp since i mainly shop at amiami, but they were all packed like that. I assumed it just varied from who was packing it at the warehouse.

    Was quite surprised today, my TV Arcadia didn't ship till Monday/Tuesday from AJ, but it was sitting on my porch today (along with the new InExtremo album I got from amazon.de)! No shrink wrap island, just packing paper for cushioning, but no barcode sticker on the box. I might have done more damage to the box opening it to inspect it... before it went back into the box, and possibly going into storage this weekend... les sigh.

    Made my first questionable Black Friday purchase, grabbed the last Renewal Daltanious at TCP along with a couple of Warruder suits, not terrible got 25 off (+150 points) because of the offer, also used another 25 dollar certificate I had saved.

    Are there any chances for the renewal Goldymarg being lighter than the original release?

    Not questionable at all. One of the best purchases you can make.

    What the heck is different with gx-69R? I haven’t even open the original. From the picture it looks like the gold is chromed gold vs painted gold. Guess I can skip it then.
