Question about japanese pre orders.
 

So I just bought two preorders from BBTS and they're both slated for release in June.

Should I expect them to be shipped around the end of May, early June, or mid next month?

They're both from tamashii web, if that means anything.

Its really random. When it list a month, Its usually the month bbts is going to receive something. But I might be wrong.

BUMP, for more info.
I'm not sure I get what you mean.

BBTS's listings say when they expect something to arrive. It's not a promise. They could get it earlier, but I've seen a LOT of times where the product doesn't arrive when the manufacturer said it would, so they push back the date (I'm currently waiting on something to come in stock that I think they were supposed to get in March, but is still listed as "Preorder."

So, I'd advise you to expect the end of June. If it comes any sooner, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Sounds good man.

So the date they show is when they expect to get it to you. But it can be pushed back.
This is true, as I saw some preorders up for some RD that was supposed to arrive in march. The pre order disappeared for the other one.


Just outta curiosity, what did you order?

@yourface I'm ganna take a stab in the dark and guess you pre-ordered trunk. If so, bluefin said he ships from between may 18 and end of the month.

Close but no cigar friend. I preordered Vile and the codarl-I Venom, both of them are tamashii exclusives, and both come out next month.

Vile is getting a bluefin release, but if you get that release he's not coming with his extra shoulder cannon or burbon glass.

Nah man, I meant that's when they expect it to arrive to them. Then they've got to turn around and ship it to you. And that depends on if you are using Pile of Loot or not.

Awww, hell no. I am, looks like a wait another month on top of this one eh?

Like the others have said, the release date BBTS gives is when he's expecting. Not a promise.

I once had a preorder for a japanese figurine that didn't come in until more than a year late.

Thank you all for the quick replies!

That's one hell of a story! The only thing that came close for me was when I was waiting on a preorder for an ARAH panzer cop, and they caned the orders.


Regardless I don't think it'll be taking longer than a few months at most, damashii usually doesn't lag behind that much...unless someone knows otherwise?

Nope your fine. Tamashii nations is always on point.
