Hopefully the Fairy Fencer F LE is good.

The other side to this coin just came through earlier, which is that NISA's US store won't be shipping anything to PAL areas any more. Which sucks immensely if you're like me and live in one of those regions but made a choice ages ago to primarily buy US-region releases for both movies and games. I've basically been primarily importing stuff since the early 2000s, because the selection and service locally was (and often still is) crap, and I'm heavily invested down that region. Sucks to be cut out.

So, what's the damage shipping from the EU to the UK? Versus something like lik-sa... er, play-asia.com?
Yep it sucks. Looks like my mail forwarder is going to be getting more business from me
At least preorders are still being honoured through to July 1 so I got my orders in for Natural Doctrine & Fairy Fencer F.ShogunDarius

when is it expected to go up?

NISA seem to a good job of looking after the European niche (they are like the old Atlus USA of "it will go out of print and climb in price" unlike the current Atlus USA of "heres another eShoppe sales, except you Europe you suck"). I wonder if this move is because too many LE are held up in customs (never a nice thing), get damaged due to shipping a long way or opportunity for growth.
No tax surprises as these are included in the price and should arrive sooner with cheaper shipping. It may initially seem more expensive but remember, no tax surprises (such as that horrendous £8 Royal Mail handling fee).
good news
Sorry to go off topic, but what is happening in this gif?
Everyone else seems to be shocked/disgusted besides the girl...

Those prices are rather sickening to be honest. Danganronpa 2 is £59.99 with £4.99 shipping on top, whereas on the NISA store it's $59.99 (£35). Even with the ridiculously expensive FedEx postage they used to use it still would work out cheaper directly from the US store, except now they don't ship to Europe so there is no choice.
I take back everything nice I said earlier about NISA, definitely not pre-ordering anything from their store with such horrible price gouging.

£1 = $1 has to be a mistake
It has to
It has to
69.99£ + 14.99£ = 84.98£
That's like 130 CHF for me ( ~145 USD ).
Wait, is this true ? Fuck you NISA.

Welp. I expected the usual $ = pricing, but what we are actually getting is far worse... For a moment I hoped it would at least include shipping (to non-UK countries), but that's not the case either. I guess I'm only going to buy the Persona Q LE, since I really want that one, but I'm not interested enough in Danganronpa 2 to pay 90 for its LE. Still, nice that they are offering this in the first place, even though it doesn't seem to be much of an improvement.
On the bright side, PersonaQ is going to be released on November 28th apparently.

Yup. They've closed their US store to all EU region customers for everything. Can't even buy Blu-Rays, DVDs or merchandise from them any more (which really sucks since any anime they release on BR never gets released in Europe).
Oh c'mon, it was supposed to get better not worse.
Those prices... are also concerning.
With the price Fairy Fencer F has that should AT LEAST include shipping!
I was about to post on their Facebook page but this sounds like a better idea. Where can I find/what's their email?

Part of me wants to put all my pre-orders down in-case they drop the price and run out of stock (can always cancel if I decide against it, but y'know, peace of mind and all that). Never have been able to buy from NISA in the past because my bank always declined payments to them (despite me calling up and authorising them), and they seem to be doing the same thing with the EU store.
Guess I'll kill two birds with one stone and just wait and see what happens with both their prices and my bank.

This is just awful, i never asked for this shit. Good thing i got my FFF preorder in on the US store because with these prices i doubt i will preorders again from them.
Its normally 15 USD shipping from US to NL. What the fuck is up with these prices man.

Think they'll still honour it if the pre-order was placed before they announced they wouldn't be shipping to the EU anymore?

This blows... I won't continue to support them if they stick with these prices.
I tried to contact them on Twitter and I'll also send them a mail.
