It was cool how Steve posted the photos of the figure here on the Dojo Website. While fb has a larger reach, it felt like we got a sneak peak before everyone else. That was fun. Thanks! Peace, maka

So, judging by Stan's photo, we have 40 cases x 12 figures per case = 480 total figures.

A lot of love on Facebook. I daresay more than there is stock (or maybe I'm just apprehensive after SDCC).

I know Stan said he'd take care of us, but what are the chances of getting two: one standard release, one remarqued?

Wait...

I just did a practise run on the website in preparation; is there no option for international shipping on items from the Sakai site?!

*panic sets in*

Yes, it's such a shame... :(

*Taken from the FAQ section of the page:
International Shipments: We do not ship out products to international countries with the exception of original art pieces or official covers.
I know is not an easy task, but could somebody help us the international fellows to get one?

I can receive and ship the figurines for the non-US dojo members if needed.

Depending on when they arrive, you might have to wait until after the holidays, though.

I'm happy to help with international shipping as well. Due to my December work schedule, I can probably only ship out on Saturdays.

I was also counting boxes :D and thinking how awesome it would be to open up one of these boxes and actually find an Usagi figure. I still haven't seen the Target/ToysRUs standard figure at any store within 100 miles of where I live. Walmart had plenty of the exclusives but it is so weird how things get distrbuted in different parts of the country with the other stores like Target, etc.

I'm so glad we have an opportunity to purchase this directly from Stan! That is a huge blessing and ultimately a big savings from ebay scalpers.
I'm really hoping with the release of this truly exclusive figure that it will drive down the SDCC figure prices as well and then maybe I can get one of those as well.

Hoping these go up soon so I can throw in a couple of prints that are on sale with the purchase of the figure!
Would love to know if these have the option to be signed as well.

I'm pretty sure you can add an order note requesting a signature.

I'd be glad to help non-US Dojo Members get theirs :)
Now would I cheat a friend?

Sorry for the delay in posting these for sale on the website. Hopefully, we will get them up by Friday at the latest.

We've got to go through all the cases to see how many are damaged. We're still figuring out how many levels to offer--unsigned, signed, remarqued, artist proofs--and what to price them at. Daniel talked to a couple of guys who specialize in stuff like this for advice.

There will be less of these variants than even the San Diego Comic-Con Variants which had 500 units, 350 of which were sold at the con.
