I’m really surprised they’re not rolling out announcement after announcement, and staggering actual releases so people aren’t having to spend a ton at once.
Not everywhere has a large retailer like Sideshow where stocks are typically available well into the actual release of products. Where I am from we have to preorder (with NDRs that are at least 20% of the actual price) within a month of HT's announcements. If we miss the window we have to pay whatever marked-up prices that retailers set or aftermarket prices in the secondary market.
It is even worse for collectors in Hong Kong as HT has no online shop. So they might have to queue at HT's physical stores for hours just to preroder a figure. More so nowadays with the endgame craze and scalpers hiring foreign workers to queue for them.
