Wanted: Hayabusa (US)

sidersdd

Anyone from Japan on here, and is able to order the Hayabusa Cuusoo set from Amazon.co.jp? PM me if you'd be willing to order this and ship to me. I can do trades, or pay with PayPal. Thanks.

BrickDancer

Me too! Maybe we can get a group buy going?

sidersdd

^ Yeah, the Brits do the whole group buy/distribution thing all the time. Why not us? ;)

I'd be interested depending on the final cost.

BrickDancer

It's stated release date is March 1st and is supposed to be ~$60 RRP. Are there any Japan based Brickset members?

Would Amazon JP ship overseas! I know FR does.

sidersdd

^ They may, but at least not for this item. I've tried. It tells me it cannot ship outside of Japan when I attempt. I need someone in Japan to order it, receive it, and then ship it to me.

I have ordered books from them successfully but as you say it seems they don't ship toys overseas.

Shame - I'd quite fancy one of the Hayabusa sets.

Hmm. Might have to talk to my friend in Japan about sourcing me one of these...or of course I could just get round to visiting her, which I've been dithering over for several months... :)

As of now, the price is 4420 yen per set on amazon.jp. Release date is Mar 2nd. I can order them off amazon.jp. Drop me a line if you're interested: [email protected]
Only problem is, amazon.jp's playing it the fellow-consumer friendly way by restricting the number of orders per set so that it doesn't get sold out too easily. So I may get only a handful of sets to be sold on a first-come-first-serve basis

I can accept payment in international postal money order ( not regular money order ) if that's okay. I may register to Paypal depending on how much orders I receive :P

BrickDancer

@silber thanks for offering to help. How much do you think shipping 3 or 4 of these to Los Angeles would be?

Silber334

I'll give you a quote when I get back from work. Sorry for keeping you waiting

Silber334

That would cost about 6100 for express mail and would take about 3 business days. I'm talking about express mail as in EMS, and not DHL or UPS.

BTW, I don't think the admins would want me giving quotes publicly. Send me a PM or email to [email protected]
