    must be in Japan to pre-order

    (what’s the emoji with the guy pulling headphones off in disgust? I couldn’t find it)

    I love how Japanese companies seem completely oblivious to the existence of international shipping and for something that’s like 0.5kg at most it wouldn’t even be that expensive.

      it boggles the mind because there’s no way they don’t know at this point that there’s quite a lively global community for this stuff. probably not that much in the grand scheme of things, but surely not an insignificant portion of the (already v limited) preorder slots are filled by people from elsewhere using proxies / resellers.

        Bandai are extremely out of touch even for a Japanese company

          roughly 50% of the messages on the digimon server consist of bandai shitposting

          I used to buy gunpla from a very well stocked Japanese website but Bandai said nope, international users must buy from their local approved resellers and now I only have access to resellers with pathetic catalog and stocks

          Thanks Bandai, guess I won’t buy more of your products

      I think ZeninTCG are going to have them up for international sales sometimes soon.

      That’s where I got my Pendulum 20th like… 6 years ago

          Will do. Hopefully they will sell them for a normal human price.

        What did you say? blob-no-thoughts I was making fun of myself. I genuinely want these. I promise I wasn’t making fun of you!

        I actually have a couple of virtual pets. I have a Tamagotchi rerelease and a Ver.20 Pendulum that I got on release date when they were a only like $50, apparently they go for well over $200 now because I got the Gallantmon (Dukemon for you weebs) themed one.

        Look, landlords can’t ban me if my pets are digital.

        I am very tempted to get one of these Monster Hunter ones, hopefully I can get them for the retail price before they sell out because I’m sure as hell not paying scalper prices for toys.

          basically that bandai’s predatory marketing vs prohibitively high secondary market prices re : digimon vpets specifically had me feeling like i’d never spend money on treats again
