Sooo when does Hong King get it? I orderd from a Chinese seller..
In Hong Kong, when HT items are released, you get your order depending on which day you pre-ordered. The earlier you order, the earlier you get your shipment. Individuals that wait for hours in line at HT for day 1, are usually scalpers, cause they want them earliler to re-sell to impatient customers. Wholesalers need to wait for wholesale lots, which is usually a month or two after release. So.. just because your seller is from Hong Kong, and its released in August, dosen't automatically mean he will have it on stock in August.
It depends which batch your seller got it from.
This item was a pre-order item at last years ani-com, and if your seller did so on day 1 he will be the first batch, which will get it on the first week of release.
If your seller is waiting for a big shipment of these, wholesalers might have to wait a few weeks from release date to get their shipments in.
So it all comes down to... is your seller an ebay store, or was it an individual guy that went to ani-com and pre-ordered a couple on day 1. I ordered on day 3, so i probably wont get mine until 3-4 weeks after release.
If you ordered from China.. that is almost definetly Wholesaler, so be prepared to wait a while.
