USPS not delivering to Australia

[Tha_Phantom]

Just collected my parcel from Auspost. So, mine took 1 month from USA to VIC.

That's good to know. Hopefully mine will get through eventually. It hasn't been sent back AFAIK.

Thanks. I hope you receive your stuff, especially the MISB G1 Jazz. That's anxiety inducing, just thinking about this precious cargo sitting somewhere where people don't know its value. Is it graded? If so, at least there's an acrylic case protecting the toy.

Thanks man, I'm sure it will show up eventually. Not graded and I don't think it would score above a 75 so I'd rather not know, but I'm happy to have a sealed pre-rub Jazz with the roof that isn't misaligned in the box.

For anyone who doesn't understand, basically a lot of G1 Jazz's were packaged with the front and back sections not lined up quite right. This isn't an issue once you open it and transform it properly, but it annoys my OCD a bit for sealed display.
Obviously these toys were never intended to be display items 35+ years down the track, so it's just the luck of the draw now.

I just googled 'MISB g1 jazz' images and see what you mean. Also just realised how distracting the gaps are between the doors and the rest of the car on this mold.

New Zealand is now on this list; thankfully I almost never purchase anything from the USA anymore.
