Post More of a vent than a FAQ...
Whats the deal with Japanese vinyl dealers not selling to international customers?

Am I the only one that finds this mind-numbingly frustrating? :x

If you use a Celga account to do your YJA bidding, it becomes more or less a non-issue... but yeah, it's kinda odd.

it's just crazy, like Marmit, for example, and even the bloody BanDai Godzilla stuff I get has 'For sale only in Japan' on the tags.

*sulks*

i think in cases like that, it may be a licensing issue

It's not just vinyl dealers but a lot of other types of merchandise as well. I think the main issue is maybe the English barrier and payments.
