Nice. Glad to know it's faster now. I have new stuff to be shipped from them too

My shipment arrived today. Guess it's not too bad, especially after Robot Kingdom sent me an invoice to pay for extra shipping (apparently the service I had selected has been suspended)
I don't think there is a code, but HLJ has 20% off shipping for the next three days.... which will help with their higher shipping rates.
(unfortunately, I have nothing waiting to ship at the moment, thanks to several items being delayed)
HLJ has updated its site, so my bookmarks to bring up Transformers toys that are sorted by date no longer works.
(they also seemed to have sold out on MP Trailbreaker really fast too)
HLJ has resumed Airmail and EMS services to Australia, as per Japan Post.
Canon R5 Optimus Prime $201, releases Feb 23.

HLJ's new website doesn't seem to allow pricing in Yen (or other currency) like before, and converts prices to AUD automatically, so the displayed price will change depending on exchange rates.
While HLJ's site automatically displays prices in AUD, you can switch to other currencies including JPY by toggling the 'Prices in:' dropdown in the site's footer.
HLJ is having 25% off all international shipping until 21/12/22 11:59pm JST.
HLJ has a 5% off in-stock code until Jan 7: HLJ23

I purchased the very last MP Skids that HLJ had in stock early in the year as a birthday present to me from my son. My Birthday was actually the end of the year. When I opened him, he was missing a piece.
Since I knew they didn't have any more stock, and with the time past, I thought I was out of luck. Still, I asked HLJ if they had access to any parts so I could fix him. I was receiving amazingly polite support where most overseas organisations would tell you you're out of luck.
HLJ contacted Takara on my behalf. The rep kept me in the loop throughout the whole process and after a week contacted me and said they were shipping out the parts. Fantastic customer service by both organisations.
However, when I received the package, I got quite a surprise. They actually shipped me a replacement Skids! Next level customer support from both these organisations.
