Last year they made the event exclusives available for preorder to Japanese customers, which could then be picked up at the event. For the most part though the whole thing was a massive shambles and barely anyone managed to do it, if I remember correctly.

The fact middleman services have them up for preorder now suggests to me that Tamashii have done the same thing again and they're available for "preorder" to be picked up at the event, only this time it's far less of a shambles.

So you're right in saying that these can be ordered by people outside of Japan yes, I've got Orb Dark ordered on Nippon Yasan. I don't think anything has necessarily changed in the order process itself though other than it being much less hassle this year.
