Reserve or Regret? Import pre-orders for 6/26 - 7/2

12:00 PM on 07.03.2011   |   Jonathan Tubbs

It's another week the hide your wallets, lock your bank accounts, and try to not smash little Jimmy's piggy bank because it's that time again for Reserve or Regret, a look back at the week of pre-orders for import products from Japan. This week put me to work with 83 figures going up for pre-order. That's a lot of figures in just one week, granted most of them being from Bandai. And since most of them are Bandai, a lot of them are already sold out.

Modelers, get your hands ready as Bandai is re-releasing several kits from various titles such as Evangelion, The Big-O, Brain Powerd, Cowboy Bebop and others on top of the ones for the many Gundam titles. Of course Bandai is not all about the machines. It's also about pirates and costumed warriors with many S.H. Figuarts figures from One Piece, Kamen Rider, and Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. Most of which are sold out.

There's more than Bandai this week if you were starting to wonder. Yamato has finally placed their Gwendolyn from Odin Sphere up for pre-order and as previously posted, K-On's responsible sister Ui from Alter is also available. And with another week here, it seems like it's another week for Touhou Project figures from Griffon Enterprises. The company just keeps them coming.

Fans of those figures that are completely NSFW will be pleased with three figures coming from Freezing, Demonbane, and Dororon Enma-kun, all with a cast off feature of course. That won't do it for me, though. What has my attention and was an instant buy was the re-release of that giant robot of construction vehicles from Transformers, Devastator.  Hit the jump, check out the large mix for this week and be sure to let us know in the comments what it is you're reserving now before you regret it later.
