Don't feel too bad, no one outside of Japan was able to grab anything except for Arms Change Kachidoki and Candy Toy Lock Seeds. They basically went up around 10:25pm-ish on the international site, already sold out.

Huh... It almost feels as if that was intentional... The old "people outside Japan shouldn't be able to watch and enjoy this show so why do they want the toys?" stance. And add to it "We already can't sustain demands, so let's just not let anyone else buy them."

Edit: Unless I read that wrong and some people DID get orders in, but I took it as nobody did because they weren't even ever listed as in-stock.

I doubt it was intentional. The demand for AC figures is crazy. Most likely in the delay between getting the items up on the Japanese site and getting them up on the International site, they simply sold out. I'm sure a significant portion of the revenue comes from overseas and I don't see any business deliberately conspiring to thwart future sales by antagonizing their customer base.

You mean demand for the DX Kachidoki Lock Seed, DJ Gun and DX Heisei vs. Showa Lock Seed pack is crazy?
