Well yeah, but until the middle man shows up, it's nice to have this as a back-up to be sure.

Waiting for HLJ or AMIAMI to put this up on theirs, until then BBTS for safety.

...Again, it's a web exclusive. HLJ and AmiAmi and most Japanese online stores do not offer the ability to preorder Tamashii Web exclusives. You only get that option with stores that offer middleman services, which is limited to CSToys and I think Anime Export?

aNIME eXPORT DOES indeed have it up .

fryguy81, I recommend you check out this thread and gain a better understanding of the difference between standard retail releases and tamashii web exclusives.

sciencefriction thank you sir

No problem. It's good to understand what your options are so you can save yourself some money.

Well, I've gotten over Zoffy not having some of his previous accessories. I'm just glad to have the last Showa Ultra secured that I needed.

Right? I've been near aggravated to the point of exasperation with the Zoffy issue. I'm keeping the BBTS pre-order until I can throw down next Friday for a pre-order on the AE.

I recommend checking out Nippon-Yasan and Toku Taku Toys as well. Nippon-Yasan you don't pay until 15 days before release, and Toku Taku Toys you pay half now and half when it's released. There are some good alternatives to stores/middlemen that make you pay upfront.

Nippon yasan was a great suggestion! Got the Zoffy preordered and for much less than I thought I would manage to get him for. Thanks again!
