If i recall correctly, PO for the US sites didn't start until about 24 to 48 hours after Japan. You can either try to get the item form your favorite Japanese online shops and take advantage of whatever points you may have or the exchange rate. Or if you don't want to wait 2 to 3 months for the US sellers to get their stock before shipping it to you. So far the US sellers don't seem to sell out in less then 3 minutes like the Japanese sites do. So if you fail to secure one from Japan, you can try again from a US site.
