[Gemini-Phoenix]

I concur. I have been caught out by Square-Enix Store EU before, being charged on ordering rather than dispatch. Be warned! This is the one primary reason that puts me off ordering directly from them.

I understand that they want exclusive items so that they can maximise their profits without a middle-man retailer, but I think they are hindering themselves. Not only is this edition relatively obscure being only available from one website most people will probably never frequent, but charging upon ordering is something I feel is a major deal-breaker for most collectors. I also think that most collectors are also put off by having to deal directly with a company for the first time, not knowing what their packaging methods are like, or where they ship from.

For all their faults, I would much rather deal with a company like GAME or Amazon. Better the devil you know, so they say...
