I'm honestly baffled that Bandai doesn't do what Goodsmile does and allow global shipping straight from their store. Like, is it really that hard to set up a similar distribution system?

If Datong KO what ever have P bandai taq slapped on it, I'd happily buy from Datong, because the whole things about stock distribution is crap on another level. You're telling me I'm paying big buck, have to stalk your products, and still not guaranteed? Dafuq is that.

It really is ridiculous, I only ended up snagging one because I was checking it almost religiously and got extremely lucky. That should not be how a product gets distributed. But I guess I'm preaching to the choir.

As I check out the comments on here, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube,and other platforms, the general consensus is: THE FANS ARE TRULY PISSED OFF ABOUT THIS
I wonder will this be the critical moment that hurts their relationship with the paying fans

What's frustrating is the stock. We are essentially ordering products that's about half or one year away, which I think is mostly for production of the products. That means that they can essentially have more time to prepare for the stocks if the demand is high. I know this because I have been ordering from different region, and they all come from the same distribution source in China. but what they do is they do drip feeding There are 3 shopee channels, SG, MY, TH, When the item goes live, you are essentially competing against two other regions to see who clicked fast enough, and how lucky you're because, sometimes the product bugged out during check out, and as a result, you will miss your chance. You know on animal documentary, you see predators competing for a dead prey? Yeah, it's the very same thing, except that there are fuck tons of predators instead of 2 or 3.
The only time I got something is either A. the demand is not that high B. someone cancel their order and I got lucky checking it randomly. If it wasn't for someone releasing their Ark One, I wouldn't have got it.
