Hopefully I will be able to afford Kikaider or the B-Fighter figures.

Technically since this is a direct ordering service and not a company "distributing" to retailers in the US, it should work out that we could buy things like that. But who knows what kind of legal loopholes are involved in this new venture.

Fingers crossed
Presumably Bandai could squash Harmony Gold if it wanted to And if it gave a shit about Macross as much as it loves Gundam

I'm so excited I may have to change my pantalones!
Edit: I wonder if the Premium Bandai shop will ever open up to orders outside Japan. |

We're most likely not getting any of the releases that are also coming from Bluefin this way, so don't expect MonsterArts or the anime exclusives (DBZ, Sailor Moon, Digimon) direct from Japan a few weeks early this way. Also only a personal hunch since this is in the testing phase, but I don't anticipate the upcoming event exclusives being available this way either.

I think Macross is enough of a legal quagmire that even if it was technically legal to sell them, Bandai Premium will opt not to bother to avoid having anything to do with Harmony Gold. With Gaim, Toei and Saban don't seem like they would have enough reason to get in conflict with international sales, plus the whole thing of no longer targeting the US with Power Rangers branding, unless there's another factor I'm missing.

EDIT: How could I forget to bring up Ultraman! Of all the toku franchises you usually see on the Webshop, its chances are by far the best for porting over, at least the Heisei ones. This is helped by the fact that there's no longer issues of releasing the Showa Ultra-Acts here and that Bandai owns a good chunk of Tsuburaya Pro already.
