I've had good experience with several recent orders from Anime-Export (Ultraman Z Original, Zenkaiser, Revi & Vice). I've been able to order retail releases successfully before it sells out and they've become my go to store

Don Momotaro is still available by the way:

What’s going on with Hlj and Hobby genki Momotaro sold out on both sites. This is crazy I never saw when he open on hobby genki and could not find the page to momo on hlj. Sentai is selling like Kamen Rider Figuarts we need to get more members of the team like the 6 ranger for webshop so we don’t miss out on preorder damn. It nuts how fast their selling out.

I've used Anime-Export once (Twice? I forget) and had no problem so I ended up just getting Momotaro, Astra and Zoffy from them. Now if Japan Post could stop being shit and start sending stuff to Australia again....

Got Momotaro from Anime-export since I missed out on HLJ and he was cheaper than at Amiami. Still need to get SSJ4 Vegeta though from somewhere.

Wait AmiAmi says Momotaro goes up "May 27, 2022, 13:00 Japan Time"

...Isn't that now?

Searches for stuff I want early

Oh, they're gone hahaha. I wanted to see if I could get Donman, Aerial Gundam, and Anya. Dang. Hopefully local isn't fucked either.

"on sale soon"
"on sale soon"
"on sale soon"
20 minutes after it's supposed to go up
"on sale soon"
"on sale soon"
"pre-orders closed"

I hate retail releases so much.

Most stuff seems available now? I guess they closed the orders and then gradually openend them?

Don Momo is still up on Amiami as of this writing.

Yeah he's up for like - 8 hours now? I feel like the people who really wanted him just ordered elsewhere yesterday. I know I did.
