I'm not sure whether Canada uses the Global version of Yesasia or the US one, but one of the two links will work.<br /><br />If you have no preference, HMV are usually very quick since they ship with EMS straight from their Japanese warehouse, and there's also a chance you'll receive the DLC code for Ii Naotora's dress if you order from them (still waiting for them to confirm!). You might find a better deal elsewhere though depending on the exchange rates and shipping. I've bought from all of those stores and had no problems to date.Raindrops and Daydreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260862819130130353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-28127221322578081742013-12-06T09:16:04.042+00:002013-12-06T09:16:04.042+00:00Does anyone know if these places sell or ship to C...Does anyone know if these places sell or ship to Canada?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-4768569606235128872013-11-14T23:44:11.983+00:002013-11-14T23:44:11.983+00:00Congrats on ordering the special edition!

It could become very expensive over time if you want them all.

I ...You can add as many comments as you like, hehe. I love hearing from other fans, even though we're all spread across the planet :D<br /><br />I don't understand why there's so little coverage in the English gaming press, even as an import-only title. Aside from the occasional Siliconera story and a few mainstream reports during TGS, hardly anyone seems to know the game is even coming out. Surely all it would take to raise the profile of Sengoku Basara in the west would be a little coverage from the biggest game sites with pictures of Masamune flying through the sky on his horse... <br /><br />The guessing games are so much more fun than the normal reveals. I remember when the game was first announced, I couldn't even sleep because I was too excited trying to work out who the silhouettes were (though I failed...). And last night, I was excited thinking about our mystery lady in just the same way (´∀`)Raindrops and Daydreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260862819130130353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-8414259413564852692013-11-03T02:56:36.288+00:002013-11-03T02:56:36.288+00:00Oh really? Thank you for the good info. That would...Oh really? Thank you for the good info. That would come in handy if I need to make an impulsive purchase (lol...I'm laughing now but it's true ;_;). <br /><br />OH MY GOD ARE YOU ME haha yeah that is basically what I do (except I bought the icon too...I'm going to blame myself for buying everything Capcom throws at me if they start selling even more sillier or lazy DLCs to make money). I tried to hook some of my friends and even family members but they either don't understand the whole concept so they don't know what's going on or they think its "decent" but they don't see what's so special about it (then I go off in my "a hundred million ways why Basara is the best thing that happened on Earth"). So yeah, no Basara fans around me. Basara is seriously ruining, actually no; it ruined my life (but I don't mind hahaha ;_; it's really surprising how long I've been obsessing over this franchise). There must be something that makes Basara so addictive because the majority of the fan base is pretty dedicated to game.<br /><br />I personally blame the lack of promotion CapcomUSA has done for Basara's "faliure" in the Western market (which I don't even think is a failure but Capcom was probably expecting almost as much as success they had in Japan).<br /><br />Oh no, I'm sorry I'm spamming your comment section with my blogging but its so hard to find someone to talk about Basara to ^^;;<br />I'm actually really excited for the next reveal because with the new female character Capcom just threw everyone off. When KobaP said there was another girl character along with Naotora, no one believed him (lol).Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-50852148814986514842013-11-02T21:05:41.365+00:002013-11-02T21:05:41.365+00:00I find that some of the eBay sellers of PSN cards ...I find that some of the eBay sellers of PSN cards will email you the number rather than shipping you the card receipt. They're a little more pricey though than buying direct so it sounds as though you found a good deal :D<br /><br />I even bought the silly custom themes for Sengoku Basara 3 on PSN (my XMB has been Eastern Army themed ever since, so it will be nice to have a change with the new content!). This series is way too addictive.<br /><br />About the nicheness, I've always found it hard to understand. There are passionate fans in countries all over the world and all of my friends tolerate me making them play/watch it when they visit (hehe) but it just doesn't seem able to get any momentum and actually start selling well in any of the English-speaking regions. Even though I'm lucky enough to be able to try to visit Japan as often as I can it's still hard watching reports about all of the events happening there when I'm back home ;_;Raindrops and Daydreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260862819130130353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-9020677358996130342013-11-02T20:26:34.506+00:002013-11-02T20:26:34.506+00:00Thank you, Now it's just waiting anxiously for...Thank you, Now it's just waiting anxiously for my package. I'm just hoping nothing goes wrong with my order; it would be a nightmare!<br /><br />That reminds me to buy psn credits since its going to be holiday season soon and I don't want my card to take 3 months to get here. I don't even think I have enough to buy a single thing.. Urgh JP credits bother me so much because I don't have a Japanese credit card. People everywhere overprice everything. Luckily I recently found a Japanese seller who ships overseas with SAL and they didn't raise the card price so its just credit amount + shipping(which is less than a dollar). Gotta get ready to buy EVERY.SINGLE.DLC Capcom puts out because I know I will buy them sooner or later... ;_;<br /><br />Why is Basara such a niche series in the West? I'm always so jealous of Japanese people who can go out and buy merchs and go to events while I stay home and watch the DVDs (lol). I always believed that if I learned Japanese, Basara would become so much more accessible but now that I can it just seems more far away because I can learn about the events and exclusives that I can never go or get. Well, better save up money to import merchs after they come out next year (lol).Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-60922604913381318432013-11-02T15:59:41.155+00:002013-11-02T15:59:41.155+00:00Hahaha, congrats!

I told myself I would wait a bit but seeing how Edion sold out I got desperate ;;; By the way Joushin added their supplies on Rakuten and the DLC+jacket still comes with all orders. It seems like the suppliers reply x100 faster and much more concisely if I write in Japanese even if they say they support English.<br />Oh it's the one with huge eyes isn't it. I remember the shock when they revealed their collaboration... Most fans, I assure you, were pretty scared of their big piercing eyes...<br />Seeing how much male figures were at AGF I'm desperately hoping for Basara figures. I would end up preordering without even thinking (so I hope they have intervals between the figures or I would go broke ;_;).

Mame and the nendos were adorable but they don't fill the gap in my heart ;_; Since the cute figures sell well Capcom will be either "we'll take risks since the smaller ones sold well" or "we'll just make more since they sell well". Probably the later knowing how much money Capcom needs recently. Capcom please release larger scaled figures. It can be expensive and limited because I will throw all the money I have at you no matter what.<br /><br />I agree, the CD jackets aren't worth spending a fortune on but I wish some stores sold all of them as a bundle like they did with Basara 2 a while back. <br /><br />God January 23rd seems so far off (+ the shipping days for the foreign fans ;_; but I heard that HMV sends stuff out before the release date so some people have gotten CDs on same day as Japan before)! Every time I hear more news I always re-watch the game plays and then I get hyped up all over again. But I'm happy that they are releasing leaks at a shorter interval rather than what they did with Basara 3.Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-10136925399522756912013-10-25T07:56:16.831+01:002013-10-25T07:56:16.831+01:00Some nice larger figures (like the G.E.M. series.....Some nice larger figures (like the G.E.M. series...) would be amazing since they've hardly done any. I fear they may be flooding us with small figures in January (Ichiban Kuji, Mame Sengoku Basara trading figures and the Ieyasu/Mitsunari One Coin Grande set) but if they all sell well in spite of this it should bode well.<br /><br />I'm hoping there aren't any more announcements of preorder DLC but they still haven't announced whether there will be any in-store launch events (and likely won't for some time) so it's possible there'll be one last press release later on. Ahh, Capcom...;_;<br /><br />I'm glad it's mostly DLC (and alternate sleeves). If they'd had really good physical extras I might have bankrupted myself trying to collect things, whereas at least I know I can probably get all the DLC later on this way so I'm more relaxed.Raindrops and Daydreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260862819130130353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-65300369834364841532013-10-25T07:47:18.222+01:002013-10-25T07:47:18.222+01:00If you've managed to actually place the order ...If you've managed to actually place the order you should be fine.

I will definitely keep a look out for Mitsunari's version on Rakuten since GEO listed that the DLC for Yukimura's costume is included in the descriptions.<br />I'm also tempted for Sakon's because his DLC looks so nice for some reason but I don't really know his character that well so I decided to hold off on that one.<br /><br />I'm going to hold off a little longer before I cancel my HMV preorder because I personally think that Capcom put the most effort on Naotora and Masamune's DLC and there MIGHT be a chance (although very very low) that other preorders might be announced since a lot of other major chain stores weren't included in the announcement (along with popular characters like Motonari or Motochika, which would make sense if they are announced in a second set along with other characters since Motonari wasn't even announced yet). I'm really hoping that they will announce casual/everyday and gakuen clothing for everyone! Well, time to get another Japanese PSN card.<br /><br />Ahh a second copy, I'm so jealous. I'm afraid if I go crazy spending money now I would feel guilty buying the other products later on. I'm expecting that they will sell a lot of things looking at the amount of fan services that they incorporated in the announcements. I'm desperately hoping for really nice look figures (especially Hanbee, please Capcom....).

I'm sure it will be fine but it's annoying not knowing for sure!<br /><br />I'm keeping my HMV preorder (I love Naotora's outfit and the anime-style sleeve is neat) but for various reasons I might be purchasing a second copy of the game, so it's difficult to decide which I want most. So difficult that I haven't actually done anything yet or checked if I can buy from some of the stores ^^; but I have a few forwarding arrangements in place already so I should be ok.<br /><br />Since Play-Asia have listed the e-Capcom exclusive Giga Sets, I expect that they can act as a deputy service and buy any of the other versions if they're asked (I'm just guessing). They must be able to get the e-Capcom version at the very least. So that might be one solution if you're tempted by the bonus items. <br /><br />Or you can try buying from Rakuten Ichiba (Joshin and <a href="http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/m-land/item/4976219053259/" rel="nofollow">Medialand (GEO)</a> sell there - the English version has some options for arranging shipping overseas and they definitely take foreign credit cards, so it <i>might</i> be possible to order one of the special versions that way.<br /><br />Good luck with whatever you choose!

They should've given him an eyepatch, too, for good measure. (And they should make a reverse one with Masamune, too, so they can both be out of character...) But oh well, it's exclusive Yukimura content, who am I to question it. <br /><br />Sakon's outfit looks hilarious, Ieyasu looks great, I'm not quite sure how I feel about Katsuie, though.
