Why You Won't See Pre-Orders Yet
At Imagined Youth Collectibles, we know you want to secure these items as soon as possible. However, we do things differently to protect our customers.
Because official distributors in China often release final pricing and allocations very close to the launch date, we do not offer traditional pre-orders for these sets.
Fair Market Pricing: We wait for confirmed logistics and distro costs so we never have to overcharge you or cancel an order because of price spikes.
Zero Risk: You won't be locked into a price that might drop, and you won't have to worry about "pre-order tax."
