You could use a service like Tenso to buy from japanese stores that don't ship overseas. You enter your Tenso adress when you make the purchase, the item gets sent to that adress in Japan, and then the folks at Tenso ship it on to you. It's a bit more expensive because they take out a handling fee, but it's very simple to use.
It's ridiculous the way they're handling this release, they should know there will be high demand. The lottery system could be completely avoided just by increasing production, I don't even know if I can enter the lottery with my overseas Angel Eyes membership, I guess I'd set a tenso account just in case.
Are there any links up yet for which sites will be selling them? Does the Stardust shop or any of the fan sites have links up yet? Also, can you provide the link to where the info is about the product that you pictured above? I'd like to try and order it by proxy but am having trouble finding the info I can point my service to.
Ah, It appears to be cash on delivery only. I can't even use my Tenso address as I planned to. Does anyone know of another forwarding company I can use that allows cash on delivery? I was looking forward to getting this one.
I'm not entirely sure what would be the simplest way to do it. They are able to make purchases for you (I've had them do that for me in the past), but it might be more difficult if you have to be logged in to you AE account to make the order. I would contact them and give them as many details as possible and then ask what they think is the easiest way to solve it.
