Where did you order? AmiAmi? It took several weeks for them to send my last payment request, I thought it was rather unusual too as they usually charge me the day everything’s in stock, but apparently they take longer now, I think there's a separate notice in the support center that payment requests and shipping can take longer at the moment.

Yeah Amiami's a bit behind on shipping preorders atm. I have something that I preordered that came out a week or so ago but have yet to get a payment request for it.

I have Dark Kiva on-preorder from Tokullectibles but it was the partial downpayment option so I'm not expecting to get him for a while still whenever they get their shipments in.

My Dark Kiva arrived from Nin-Nin yesterday.

But I have a Figuarts Goku Black that released at the beginning of August that I'm still waiting for a payment request on at AmiAmi.

Think I managed to get my pre-order in for Golza an the GUTS Wings just in time.

Thanks for the responses, guys! Guess it's just a matter of playing the waiting game then.


Dark Kiva was one of my most anticipated releases of the year so I'm pretty excited for it.

Tokullectibles still have the US version up for preorder

As a general release, is it common for the US version vastly available while everyone is trying to get hold of the Japanese version?

That does sound odd

Maybe it’s the case of Tokullectibles receiving a couple more copies than the initial number people ordered

It should be noted Dark Kiva is from before Bandai and several other toy companies started struggling with production. Basically anything afterwards had much less stock available.

I just don’t understand how is it possible for Tokullectibles to still take preorder on US releases while a lot of people are struggling to get a hand on Japanese copies?

I know it may be several months apart but they are the exact same you, right?

Because they get US releases directly from a different source.

US releases come from Bluefin, who they said in their allocation email that they still expect to get their shipments in that will fulfill everyone, but due to them getting it a month or so later, you're going to expect a delay there as well.

Their JP stock doesn't last anywhere near as long as their US stock. For example, JP SS Black sold out on-preorder and never came back in-stock. The stock they have right now is from the US release since that's been plentiful. Same with their Ixa listing or Blades. Dark Kiva might end up the same way, but we won't know until they start getting stock in from both JP and US.
