thx guys. appreciate the sympathies.
yeah, very bad luck indeed... I've already noticed the gun's broken and its a bit bent. the fig looks fine but i think i need to do a more thorough check but not for now as it pains me to see Yoko like this esp seeing how deformed the retainer+box after it was rap*d during shipping. I hope I wont end up getting another one...
now doing some research on fixing that gun... anyone can suggest any tutorial links?

none taken.
a total disaster frig up for sure. i died for a moment after seeing how bad the damage was.
i guess it just had to happen since i wasnt careful enough... my yoko has been rap*d. one big hard lesson to swallow.
now i need to find a way save her.

perhaps you can try to contact PA.. they may end up giving you some compensations in the form of coupons or points which is better than none.
say, isnt yoko supposed to be released long time ago? like one month

the gun looks like it just snapped/broke
like valho said, just head to ur nearest hardware store, buy epoxy and stick as easy as that to fix
its quite light, so fixing is not a problem, compared to when i fixed my suzu's hair

The bent part of the gun you can fix by heating it slightly and reshaping it. You'll probably want to get a clamp of some sort to make sure its really straight. Don't over heat it! If the plastic starts to melt its a bad sign To heat the part, use either hot water or a hairdryer. I personally prefer hot water. Not boiling water tho!

As for the break part of the gun, since its not a load bearing part just epoxy glue it back together.

your suzu still with you?

i din realize there was a bent

yup, standing proudly in front (and above) of me now xD hair still intact, epoxy BANZAI!~

yeah. offcial release was late september according to PA website. wasnt here to get it on time since I was outstation so it was held up at the post office for quite some time.
so should i still contact them? its been some time already.

Added on December 9, 2008, 11:30 pmThx dudes for tip. Will try to do so then. Need to get some epoxy.

this is a good one but im not sure if i have the guts to do that yet. taken note though. thanks!

actually i tried to bend it a bit to make it look kinda straight before the pic was taken. it looked odd before
but speakin of your suzu, now thats even worse and im already whining over one small thing

O_O The cost of the 5 boxes can buy high end diamond jewelry already


Wow, that's the worst case I've seen of a squashed package so far. My Eye Up Kamina which is probably about that package size luckily arrived intact from P-A, sometimes I wonder how pos Msia handles these packages =_= You can try to file a complaint with P-A that it wasn't packaged securely enough, they might be nice enough to give you some store credit as compensation. Good luck

How much did you buy the Ryougi Shiki for? 15% sounds v decent. As for starting again, it's a long long (and v expensive road) down to hell XDDD

The worst squashed package that ever happened to me is the Sakura I'm sending you - see for yourself when you get her lol. Luckily nvr kena worse than that =X

pos msia
yep, worse indeed. am gonna try to write to them after i read their terms/conditions. thx btw
somehow i think i feel a bit better after posting here.

I think a lot of us feel your pain, many have been through similar postage "accidents" I read somewhere that a person who got a badly damaged package filed a complaint and the store sent him another replacement FOC (didn't even have to return the original item), but can't be sure if this was P-A or some other online store. Since Yoko is sold out maybe they might be nice enough to at least give you a partial credit refund. I had a shipment which contained 2-3 items that went missing and after waiting 2 months, P-A was kind enough to resend the whole package even though the first one was sent via untrackable shipping. Hopefully they're still as nice as this was 2 years ago

Hmm, i bought it for ¥5,460 which is about 15% off it's ¥6,500 retail price. So it should be around RM210. Was just randomly browsing and happened upon it. Made the figure collector in me light up lol. Being on sale sealed the deal for me.

Yea... long longgg expensive road indeed. Hope i'm making the right choice ahaha

if fedex is cheaper
i would rather choose fedex than free shipping

Holy !@#$

I feel for you man... One of the worse damages I have seen so far.

okay, so I just received my credit card billing for my HS order a while ago (had it ordered some 2 weeks ago, it didn't show up on the online CC billing until now).... and it turns out that they're doing the conversion at 100yen = RM4....

WTF

Anyone here ordered stuff from HS care to confirm this? Man, what a ripoff. I wonder what's stopping them from accepting paypal payments.

the one who do the conversion is the bank.... they just request the amount... and the bank will do the proper conversion...

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

stupid HongLeong Bank, overcharging for mah conversion rates and not afraid of anything <(╬ ಠ益ಠ)>

4 is too much
now at most 3.92

when HS or any store charges to ur card, it doesn't immediately convert and appear in ur transaction list until they post to their bank
so, its pure luck to see when they post, coz its that day's forex rate that counts
