Additionally, this demand for doujinshi sparked a conversation about availability and we've made the decision to no longer have the doujinshi boxes classified as limited items. Along with the pre-order for the Michiking Box, we will have a pre-order for the Saitom Box to return to the store for everyone who may have missed out on it for the first time. The Saitom Box will differ from the original box set where it'll be the same size as the Michiking Box and Koume Keito Box for consistency's sake.
Will there be a limited pre-order period or will it just go on until the new sets are manufactured?

It doesn't change much at all
Well... it might mean that we'll no longer be seeing the box sets go for hundreds of bucks on eBay during AX. :P

We understand there's people all around the world who are unable to attend one convention in the US and instead of treating the boxes like a extremely limited item, we're going to keep these as one of our more premium items that directly support the artists.
Definitely a good way to support the artists. Like I mentioned before, the artists don't really benefit much if the sets sell for $80 at AX and then go for $200 to $300 on eBay.
