Yea most of the ones done now are from anime except I don't know if I have ever seen the sheild liger mk II in an episode. I wonder how many they are going to do from the CC series. I heard Irvines command wolf should be coming before to long.

yes, HMM CW Irvine

MKII SL & CW LC was part of the release cos the mould was already there and for them to max. profit.

WHen did they put that on the website? I was looking yesterday and it wasn't there.

Still...for me...Buster tortoise>Irvine's wolf

it was there since February. keke

well its goin to be release in JUNE.... at least a break on our HMM spendings.

I think they took it off the website at some point, thats what I read at least...I could be wrong

And I have yet to spend anything on them, I want to but shipping stuff to the US is not cheap at all...

Bro, don't fret, have you ever tried EBAY? If you're in the US it should not be a problem to u at all.

Ebay HMMs

Yea, I have tried a little on ebay. I did find a sheild liger for $46.99 with free shipping from hong kong...But I don't know if I can trust that...I mean shipping form there to here is close to $40.

if you want to play safe, you can ask them 1st before you pay.

I suggest you go into more reliable website such as Hobby link Japan

If you are paying through paypal it is pretty safe. Ebay rating are pretty important too, you can see the number of stars or numbers of transaction being done on the seller. BUT its totally up to your own judgement.

HK or Malaysia shipping to US is pretty much the same. The price you stated presumed EMS but if given a choice go for normal registered postage SAL would cost much lesser. Could take up 2-3 weeks before it reaches u (with NO tracking #). Plus it might not be recognizable upon reaching ur door step. DBR (Damage beyond recognition) hehe. Ordering from online shops will give u a best bet of getting ya stuff intact and in good condition cos they are bound to customer satisfaction priorities.

Well I emailed the guy/ebay shop and they said it would be packaged very well and would still be shipped for free but then again they could not speak english well at all so idk haha...xD I do want the box intact so I'll probably just wait and buy from HLJ so I know I will get my stuff properly.

I really want the schwarz saber tiger but good lord...I'm lucky if I find it for less than 100$ but the price will probably drop shortly (I hope).

BTW Ed I noticed in your sig there is no Cannon Tortoise...Have you not gotten your hand on one yet? Or are they still on pre-order status?

HMM Schwarz saber for less than USD100 is possible that would be inclusive of shipping. BUT not with HLJ, they do not lower price or have not seen price being reduce for HMMs.

Cannon Torts was just announce 3 days back. I was hoping that it reaches singapore first but owners there have said that it will take another week or so. Fingers cross.

I wanna find it for less including shipping so I will have to wait a good while.

I'm not liking the Cannon Tort that much to tell you the truth. But the Buster Tort...I believe that is what it is call (the Cannon Tort with huge Gun on it) I will gladly pay 100$ for haha.

Also another quick question do you use additional paint or molding materials on your HMM's or is that how they come?

I will be getting this but won't be touching it in a while... In fact, I won't be even building another Command Wolf in a long time.....

Why not? If you don't mind me asking.

Also Ed, Thanks for the guidance

I might order the schwalz saber soon. Depends on when the Buster Tort comes out because if it is coming out like the beginning of April and it will be expensive I will go with that one first.

How long did it take for it to get to your house? I guess they ship out of Japan.

Xnyhc, to better give u an indication of how much u will end up paying upon ordering from HLJ, using SAL parcel to MALAYSIA. This is the price i paid for AB Leon, though it cost slightly lesser than Sabre Schwarz about 400yen difference. That's just my assumption but it's all up to u to decide. Im just giving u a guidance.

First off, I edited post above so take a look at that and what exactly does SAL stand for?

BY HLJ
"The SAL rate shown is the estimated cost to ship the item via postal service "Surface Air Lift" small packet rates to countries in North America, Europe, Oceania, Central America and the Middle East. Customers in Asia should expect to pay about 20% less than this figure. Customers in South America and Africa should expect to pay about 20% more. A complete table of SAL rates is posted below. Also note that:

* Some physically larger items and valuable orders (15,000 yen or more) may be shipped by EMS even if you request SAL shipping, depending on where you live. While this costs you slightly more, the far better handling and trackability of EMS, we believe, is justified when shipping very valuable items.
* Taiwan, South Korea, Venezuela, Brunei, Jordan and some other nations don't offer SAL service. Shipments to these countries are by Air Mail or EMS.
* SAL shipping is unfortunately not trackable."


If you decide to get the schwaz, i really recommend u to get it Cannon Torts as well, cos combing shipment will cost u lesser. But if budget does not permit then otherwise.

I am thinking of purchasing more than one just because of the shipping cost but IDK which one. Like I said I don't want the Cannon Tort because I am going to wait for the Buster Tort which is purty!

Which if you have not seen the Buster Tort:

About halfway down you will see it.

Fatigue or just plain old tulan I guess. I rarely build two kits of the same design.

I see, I will get it just because

a. Great color scheme
b. Gun looks fantastic
c. Was my favorite character when I was a kid
