Ahh, thanks for the clarification Baltan. The reason for the ordeal is that these figures seem to sell out right away. I noticed Amiami tend to refresh their site around 8-9pm. When Taro (and a bunch of the other Tamashii) stuff came up, it said for sale soon. As soon as it went live, they were all sold out...then a few hours later it said for sale soon again at 4pm Tokyo time. I waited...and sure enough at 4pm Tokyo, the site kind of crashed (probably due to everyone logging in). I tried snagging a DX chogokin Macross, Robot Damashii Aura Battler and other Tamashii items and it turned into a Matty Collector incident (some of you guys might know what I'm talking about regarding Matty). I'm surprised I got Taro, but everything else sold out the minute they went live.

I'm guessing they were sold out on the Japanese site prior to the English site of amiami. Same deal with HLJ and hobbyssearch...(I have no clue what time HLJ usually puts out preorders...they don't seem to have a pattern like amiami does).
