Hi mr badguy, I’m trying to get my mom to buy me one of those new guilty gear plushies as a bribe for me to get good grades in college do you which is the legit website for the preorder? I’m terrified of ripping her off she’s already been ripped off other times online

Good Smile US is the site to use if you're in the USA. It DOES look like they can ship most products internationally from this store though, according to their support FAQ: https://www.goodsmileus.com/

Good Smile Shop is their "main" shop but they only ship within Japan: https://goodsmileshop.com/ja/

If it would make sense for where you live to buy from the Japan site but they won't ship to you, you can use a proxy service. I use Japan Rabbit because their service has been fantastic each time, but they're a little on the pricier end as far as proxies go... On the bright side, they aren't USA exclusive so you can use Japan Rabbit to ship anywhere from Japan: https://japanrabbit.com/

Good Smile has a partner shop directory for stores that carry their products too, though I'm not 100% sure if you'd be able to preorder something from all of them. If you generally have difficulty getting something shipped to your country then this directory might be helpful: https://partner.goodsmile.info/support/eng/partnershops/

In short, the Good Smile websites and the official Arc System Works store (https://www.arcshopus.com/) are the two main "legit" stores for GG merch right now. The ASW store ships to USA, Canada, and Mexico. Outside those countries you'll likely have to use a proxy service with the JP site (which has different stuff than the US one?!) https://www.arcsystemworks.jp/portal/shop/

Hope this helps!! Good luck with college!!
