must be in Japan to pre-order

(what's the emoji with the guy pulling headphones off in disgust? I couldn't find it)

I love how Japanese companies seem completely oblivious to the existence of international shipping and for something that's like 0.5kg at most it wouldn't even be that expensive.

it boggles the mind because there's no way they don't know at this point that there's quite a lively global community for this stuff. probably not that much in the grand scheme of things, but surely not an insignificant portion of the (already v limited) preorder slots are filled by people from elsewhere using proxies / resellers.

Bandai are extremely out of touch even for a Japanese company

roughly 50% of the messages on the digimon server consist of bandai shitposting

I used to buy gunpla from a very well stocked Japanese website but Bandai said nope, international users must buy from their local approved resellers and now I only have access to resellers with pathetic catalog and stocks

Thanks Bandai, guess I won't buy more of your products

I think ZeninTCG are going to have them up for international sales sometimes soon.

That's where I got my Pendulum 20th like... 6 years ago

Please make a post or even DM me when that happens. I NEED one of these

Will do. Hopefully they will sell them for a normal human price.
