Is the only way for an American to buy one of these through the MediaPsychos group buy? Any idea when that will be.

I wasn’t paying attention and missed out on Hibiscus Town in 4K so feeling a bit sour.

Maybe Hibiscus Town is still available for pre-order on buyoyo, but I'm not sure.

Is the GB not open yet?

Hi. This one was on Buyoyo. Unfortunately, it sold out and probably won't come back. I did get a copy off eBay at a somewhat inflated price, albeit not nearly as inflated as the final remaining copy! If anybody wants to buy, they should do so now, or maybe see if MP has any copies left. (None were included as part of their recent overstock sale but those titles are a bit older for the most part.)

This one appears to be the only one still available. US$140 + shipping. It's not cheap at all but, unless somebody at MP is sitting on spare copies, I think this is it unless copies are hiding on Taobao somewhere.

My sticker says /100, which seems low? Unless it's just missing a 0 at the end. But an eBay photo shows /800? Or was there two pressings?

The one with 100 is a different version sold at M1905 website, it's basically the same, just an exclusive 1905 stick and separate limit number.
