My Mothra RIC Defforeal and Ceaser RIC Defforeal were shipped 8 days ago from Japan via EMS.
However tracking still not updated to say its in the UK. Even with pandemic its strange for item to UK via EMS to take more then a week to get to UK. Customs delays etc are normal but getting into country should be like 3 days

There are some wicked delays on EMS to some countries right now, beyond those where service is fully suspended. I just heard from Hobby Search that Japan Post warns of 2 to 3 week EMS delays to Canada, the Philippines, Korea and New Zealand. Perhaps there is a burgeoning delay for the UK...

Strange that it's not up on the US Ric site, the Ric has already sold out on AC . I wanted that legion flower.

Watch the RIC site, lots of people think it might still show up there.

Hey guys, haven't really been on the forum for a couple weeks, how are the releases looking for the 25cm G19 and the 2nd run RIC? From my understanding the standard was delayed to this month, and the 2nd run RIC should be October, is that still the estimate?

[Tyrant_Lizard_King]

I thought the Ric was still scheduled for late September.

[_JNavs_]

I thought the Ric was still scheduled for late September.

1st run or 2nd?

If 2nd run is scheduled for late September that'd be fantastic.

(EDIT: You're right, just checked AC. 2nd run is scheduled for late Sep, that's awesome.)

Sweet, so hopefully orders will start being fulfilled this week! Mine still says "Unfulfilled", but from my understanding AC is a very small team operation so i'm sure they're up to their necks in orders.

I usually dont take the shipping soon emails at face value.
due to various factors it does take time to get things shipped.
like the shipping soon email for Mothra 19 Deffo I got however it took a month after that email to actually ship.
so we just need to be patient.
I dont expect my 19 RIC to ship until mid October.

I think with the Mothras particularly AC got hoisted by the vagaries of international shipping in 2020. Obviously, your figures must be paid for before they leave Japan, so you get that "shipping soon" email before that happens. Then, it takes however long it takes for the shipping to actually happen.

The standard 25cm G'19 drops the 27th/28th of this month...

Yess long time no see! I took a little break since the forum kinda got tediously repetitive at the time.

But now with these new figure releases/announcements i figured it was time i make my return!

(also noticed we have a new team of mods which is interesting)

You were on track to take over this place then you vanished like a fart in the wind. Good to see you back. Yes there is a new mod team. But we won't ever have our best team until goji89 becomes a mod.

Thanks it's good to be back , hopefully i can reclaim my rightful spot!

and hey who knows, me you and Goji would make quite the mod trio.

I'm currently trying to decide whether that 20cm Kong is worth the pre-order.. i would assume shipping won't be killer since he wouldn't be a huge figure, but at the same time we ARE talking about a Japanese import, so shipping could still be double normal prices.

Being a mod is a game for the young my friend. I'd never take the position.

Gamera 96 Deforeal standard is up for order on Hobby Search in case anyone was interested. Only $60 before shipping

Well AC confirmed via email the Gigantic Ric Burning G19 won't be available to their site as of now due to Ric site's policy change and that makes me sad. Really don't wanna pay aftermarket price on Ebay again, why is Ric site so anti consumerism?
