Dairantou Smash Bros X - Update

Our initial shipments of Smash Bros X are scheduled to arrive on Thursday of this week. We were able to obtain more copies than we originally expected after receiving the bad news from suppliers on Sunday night. We'll notify customers by email today if your order is shipping on Thursday. The remainder of our Smash Bros X shipments are scheduled to arrive no later than Wednesday or Thursday of next week and we'll be able to fill all remaining preorders and any new orders at that time.

So, was there really a "shortage"? Some of our suppliers in Hong Kong won't be getting any copies until this weekend which makes it more of a delay than an actual shortage. We also note that most of our Japanese vendors will receive the bulk of their supplies on February 2 and February 4 which is a few days later than the official street date. We'll update further if anything changes but everything looks good for next week.

In related news, a gouger vendor in Japan noticed our Smash Bros update yesterday and asked if we were interested in paying JPY8500 per copy for their Smash Bros supply. They informed us that they would be "very pleased to supply you." Our usual suppliers have kept their prices at regular levels so we'll hold off on buying any Smash Bros at ¥8500.
