Those look great. If only I had the money.

[onerichman]

I definitely want to get the figures

[Grunkle Sans]

My reaction to these new figures:


Are these exclusives or just like normal release figures?

[Castellan Zilla]

They are premium Bandai. So they won't be available at retail.

[KingKaiju]

Oooooooo man!!!! All four of those figures look fucking AWESOME!! And, unlike my mistake with the regular MMS shin release, I'm going to jump on that climax figure ASAP.

Question: So... How do we order this? The website's completely throwing me off, even translated to english.

Preorders don't go up until June. But it doesn't matter, they won't ship internationally. You're going to need a middleman in order to get these. Or preorder from a site that offers P-Bandai items.

Aw, damn. Thanks for the info. Time to get on my knees and pray for a miracle.



EDIT:


Anyone know any sites that do ship Bandai Premium to the US? PM me. I'm not sure what the rules on sharing that publicly is.

Why would there be rules on it?

P.bandai's website does offer a tutorial on middleman services and their own list of affiliates. This was done a while back. I personally used Buyee a few times, (Yahoo.jp). Cheap, easy to work with and good incentives.

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH. READ - THE - ENTIRE - Q/A / HOW TO ORDER

Anyhow, below

I'm either too dumb to use it properly or all those 4 sites listed in the link above don't allow you to order the Premium BANDAI/Tamashii Web Godzilla (SHMA & MMS) figures. They're not there, but only few select other items from BANDAI webshop. That way there's no use of those "official" proxy services for me, so I'll stick with my old proxies then.

[KingKaiju]

^

I wonder if they just don't list all the items.

[MandaSaurus]

Okay, so how do us filthy gaijin in NA get these??? I'm not getting anything from those links except the Japanese translations...

Whatever happened to personal initiative?

It isn't hard to go to the p.bandai page, get immediately blasted with a popup saying; "international Shipping Usage!" and going from there.

[Petezilla]

^ I think the problem is that the middleman services presented on the above shown page (by BANDAI themselves) all don't list the Godzilla figures for international order. The basic instruction is correct, but you have to use your own service like Tenso, Shopping Mall Japan or others instead.

This is what I was getting at. I brought up in my post - albeit rather indirectly.

I apologize for the snark in my posts, i'm just really getting tired of parroting the same thing to the same people, 3+ times and then having them either ignore it or not spending 3 minutes google researching/going to the website and reading the FAQ/ToS to find the answer. Not all here or collecting related, just advice in general. I mean, instant information > searching for it, but come on.

OT: Tenso works, though i've never used them directly. 99% sure "myfigurecollection" has a really good list of middleman or proxy buyers to choose from. S'how I found Buyee and Mandarake.

I figured it out, and registered with From Japan. The new Premium Bandai Shins are not listed yet though. Maybe cuz they're new, and not available for pre-order yet?

Fairly sure it says preorders END in June.

SpaceG92 and I were discussing this, and figured out the preorders end in June, not begin like we originally thought.
