Then I'll begin the long, painful process of trying to reacquire these figures for their secondary market prices. :(

**EDIT**
Well speak of the devil, I just received a pretty bullshit sounding response. This is what I was just told:

Bandai sent us a message to apologize they unfortunately have delay on shipping our stocks we have to wait for them to ship we apologize for this situation if you rather cancel this order we will totally understand and allow it
Please accept our apologies regarding this order.

So it sounds like they were shorted on their order, but instead of giving priority to preorder customers, they instead began sending out figures to people who placed new orders after the release.

I know you're frustrated and I'm not trying to add to that, really. I just don't understand how paying a week before the item is released is ludicrous. Is there any place that doesn't require payment for exclusives until after they come in? I know you paid when you ordered, but it wasn't required, as I recall. Again, not trying to add to your frustration, just curious.

They give you a pretty stern time limit, like a week before the release date or something whereas everywhere else don't charge you until your order is actually ready to go. So yeah, it's ludicrous, they shouldn't ask for my money if I'm paying for something that doesn't actually exist yet. Everywhere else will have the stock set aside, and ready to be shipped, before asking for money.

Heck, CS Toys requires immediate payment, regardless of how far out the order is.

No, it isn't the week, it's the fact it's a week before the toy is released. Not a week before the order is actually ready to be shipped, not a week before they are holding your stock in their hands and putting it in a box, but a week before Bandai themselves release them to retailers. Everywhere else I have used ask for a payment when your actual stock is ready to go.

And my experience is, as I stated above, requiring payment pre-release (except HLJ). I guess I'm just used to paying before the item is released, so I don't have a problem with it. It's all what you're used to, I guess.

Which reminds me....Imperer comes out this month, doesn't he? I forgot about him entirely.


Just like the rest of Ryuki did.
