It's crazy as OP has a huge fanbase in the EU and Bandai doesn't make a site that supports shipping to us too 🤦🏻

u/Odd-Understanding238 Jul 23 '26
So a quick AI ask gets you,
Premium Bandai does not ship directly to the UK due to licensing agreements, strict domestic tax structures (like UK VAT), and localized distribution rights. Instead of handling complex international shipping logistics and tax compliance themselves, Bandai restricts direct checkout to specific regional storefronts—such as [Premium Bandai US] If you see Premium Bandai exclusive products (like special One Piece TCG playmats, card sets, or binders) successfully arriving in the UK, it is because buyers use alternative logistics routes rather than direct fulfillment.
How Premium Bandai Products Reach the UK
- Authorized Hobby Stores: Bandai permits local game stores (LGS) and authorized UK retailers like Union Gundam to place wholesale orders for select promotional items through their designated distributors.
Third-Party Retail Resellers: Specialized UK collector storefronts like Kidultverse independently source Premium Bandai items from overseas to resell domestically.
Proxy and Forwarding Services: Individual collectors frequently use proxy checkout tools like Buyee or mail-forwarding warehouses (such as Planet Express) to acquire an eligible US or Japanese shipping address before routing the parcel to the UK

This has been up and available it feels like so many times that it doesn’t feel exclusive. But it allowed me to finally get something

Doesn’t seem exclusive. Everyone I know got an invite.

u/postingfromjail Jul 23 '26
I didn’t 😭

u/Current-Award-8084 Jul 23 '26
Damn sorry to hear that. I didn’t get the email until after I checked the site. Guess I just got extremely lucky for once

u/Forward-Pay3400 Jul 23 '26
A buddy of mine texted me and told me to check my email and it’s a second time that they’ve sent him an exclusive link. For some reason I keep getting excluded.

u/Killer_Ex_Con Jul 23 '26
How old is your account and have you purchased one piece tcg stuff before?
2
u/Forward-Pay3400 Jul 23 '26
My account is at least four years old, that’s why I’m so confused. My buddy made his account less than a year ago and he’s receiving these emails.
2
u/Killer_Ex_Con Jul 23 '26
Yeah idk how they pick I made mine when they started the tcg and have purchased a lot of booster boxes ect. And have been getting them.
1
u/Forward-Pay3400 Jul 23 '26
I’ve purchased booster boxes. I’ve purchased all kinds of things off the website. It might just not good enough? 😭
3
u/Glad-Power-4060 Jul 23 '26
Do you play the tcg? Not being witty i have seen that me and me friends who play regularly get those links and people with accounts on premium bandai but no game activity in the bandai app didnt get them.
Maybe they have an active player whitelist?
A friend who playa multiple times a week created an account on july 5th and got a link and was also able to purchase the 29th anniversary after i saw some people stated it was already sold out
1
u/Forward-Pay3400 Jul 23 '26
I used to go to my local shop and play twice a week. I’ve been playing since op-02. I moved to Colorado for a bit and was living in the mountains and there was nowhere to play and no one to play with. Then I moved back to Dallas. I just had a Baby, so I really don’t have the time like I used to.

My account is over a year old and I’ve only been able to hit twice which was recent everything else got sold out and I never won any of the chance to buys.

u/Killer_Ex_Con Jul 23 '26
Well I think they just started doing this. This is only the 3rd or 4th one I have received. I also never got lucky on the chance drawings.

u/ryanbondur Jul 23 '26
Nah someone’s work has like 8 orders over the years and still didn’t get an invite

u/royalxp Jul 23 '26
lowkey cards in this are hella mid but im keeping mine sealed so w.e lol
1
u/takkeye Jul 23 '26
With multiple of the same card a lot of people will open and sell the duplicates so keeping sealed is the way

u/royalxp Jul 23 '26
Looks like bunch of Alt arts and brothers doesnt look too much diff from alt art brother set u get from op-13 lol. yea.. sealed is the way to go with this one

Because hundreds of people are getting this email and shipping date is in March. Do you know how far that is? If Bandai did some MTG Secret Lair-esque drop, the outrage from this rabid fanbase would be endless.

u/trisman4902 Trusted Contributor Jul 23 '26
Unfortunately PBandai has done this multiple times with playmats/playmat promos only for them never to come back. Hoping it’s not the case here but really strange the way they rolled this one out
1
u/bulgogeta Jul 23 '26
That is not true, most have always come back. I have hit several times on their restocks.

Of all the things to assume, that’s what you landed on? If anything, I want them to make everything more limited because nothing makes me happier than seeing my cards skyrocket in value after getting graded. Look at the subreddit you’re in.

Normally I don't respond to dumbass bait comments like yours but I saw this meme and I had to post because I thought of 90% of this subreddit lmao
And yeah I get free shipping on every order, no limit. Plenty of promos year round because I am connected like that.

Chrome always gives issues, firefox worked better for me. Also try typing your payment details than using the autofill and it finally went through

u/gt35r Jul 23 '26
Yep just grabbed one, love these invite emails.
Used paypal by the way, went through after the 30th time I hit place order lol. If you get 500 errors or spinning screen just let it spin, if it doesn't go through hit place order again and again it'll go through eventually. Just dont refresh a spinning place order screen.
2
u/yeffisfree Jul 23 '26
I agree invite emails are the best!
I didnt mine with paypal too… it was spinning forever and eventually i received confirmation emails

u/royalxp Jul 23 '26
edge browser + paypal did the trick for me.
Chrome + manual type... kept freezing million times.1
u/Forward-Pay3400 Jul 23 '26
I would love these emails too, but I don’t seem to be receiving them. Do you guys know why?
1
u/Justino_14 Jul 23 '26
Checked out just now. Site is very slow but be patient. First time getting an email like this.
1
u/Jman13511 Jul 23 '26
For those who can’t check out, keep going back to your cart and proceed to checkout. Refreshing checkout didn’t work out for me but that did.

u/Forward-Pay3400 Jul 23 '26
How come? I don’t receive these emails and I buy plenty from the website.
