I'm tired of missing the boat on good products. I need reliable e-alerts. Canadian source is preferred due to brutal foreign exchange and cross-border shipping, but I appreciate any suggestions.

Addendum: A lot of people do their pre-orders through BBTS. Fine. But if anybody has a back-up plan, I expect that others like me would be interested to hear it. Rgds

None of the import sites I know of have email alerts for preorders, BUT the SH Figuarts line is good b/c they tell you exactly when and what time. I'm copying the rest of this post from my reply from a similar question on reddit.com/r/actionfigures :

If you keep track on this sub, I really try to keep everyone in the loop like in this thread since I'm so invested in this haha. Figuarts generally have a big monthly preorder day right at the beginning of the month. That's what the preorder earlier this week was. The preorders last night were for Force Friday. Figuarts occasionally have mid-month preorders, but it's not as common from the last few months anyway.

This is the website you'll want to check near the end of the month It'll say like Sept. 4 Announce Items, which means that's the day (in Japan) that they go up for preorder. And they go up for preorder there at 4PM. So just make sure you're on the right schedule for that time.

The Tamashii website is pretty great, tons of pictures, so it's a cool site to check out anyway.

Also note on the Tamashii website that there's a month thing up top, so closer to October, click on the 10 and there should be something there.
