Well according to Nippon Yassan, Bandai are nolonger offering pre-orders on credit, so suppliers have to pay for their stock in advance meaning they can no longer offer the pay later option. I don't know whether it's the same for Blufin? A company like Amazon should be able to pay for their stock upfront, but maybe they don't like to. They never charge customers until they ship, so maybe this is why they're not carrying them anymore? That'll be interesting for websites like AmiAmi and HobbyLink Japan. |

Yeah I did! Thanks! I'm working on a comic retelling of the Namek/Frieza Saga with Vegeta as the main character. Be on the look out! You're obviously talented and your eye for humor within the community is excellent. I loved your comic and hope to see more from you soon. |

They never charge customers until they ship, so maybe this is why they're not carrying them anymore? That's interesting. I do agree and wonder if that's how they're managing the relationship with Bluefin as well. If so, Bluefin is going to lose quite a bit of business. MOST companies don't charge for items until they ship, but I think it's mostly because Amazon has been noticing that Bluefin/Bandai has been quite unreliable with getting stock in "on time". Because Amazon prides itself on making delivery dates and has a lot of their business model tied to it, not having a "hard" in-stock date for their allocation of Tamashii products does NOT follow Amazon's retail model. Thus, I think they looked at that demand to pay "up-front" before their shipment allocations by Bandai and Bluefin and were like "Screw it, you want us to pay up-front AND provide no reliable delivery date for OUR stock allocations? We'll cut the cord". Sad thing is, Bluefin NEEDS Amazon more than Amazon needs Bluefin/Bandai Tamashii products. Losing Amazon as a retailer is a big blow to Bluefin. I hope they can work something out with Bandai/Tamashii regarding this. It looks like Amazon will still get SSGSS Goku and Golden Frieza since they fall under the "old" pre-order model. |

It's difficult to get a translation of the text on this image but it confirms the release dates for Beerus (March 2016) and SSGSS Vegeta (April 2016).  |

Well I guess that was to be expected.......Beerus and Vegeta next to jump on the movie/Super hype-train.......
I hope Buu hasn't been shelved, but guess the earliest we can expect him now would be May 2016 if we don't get Jaco or even a Whis before that!!
Disappointing. Let's hope for something exciting at Tamashii Nations in 4 weeks!

I'm pretty sure that after Beerus and SSGSS Vegeta we'll get Whis, Champa, and female Whis, They'll peobably jump on that Super hype.
maybe at the end of 2016 we'll see some new Buu saga releases, or even GT. unless by then Universe 6 saga will start and we'll get tons of new chracters from that saga.

Oh well, I guess I was best to skip Ultimate Gohan then.........
Now to think whether I want that SSGSS Goku to go with Beerus and Vegeta, I just still can't get over that red Gi!
