No pre-orders unfortunately they're basically prize lotteries in Japan, folks buy a ticket and they get prizes based off what the ticket says.
So once these go live in December your best bet is to scour Japanese auction sites for people selling them. I'd avoid eBay since Japanese sellers usually overprice things on there like last months Ichiban Kuji Vegetto Blue's were selling for over $100.
Other places to get Ichiban Kuji stuff is Mandarake and occassionally Ami Ami will have them up in their used figure/merchandise section.
And note if someone does go on Yahoo Japan you need a proxy service so that is an even extra expense because they charge an extra fee. I personally have been using Treasure Japan for years.

If you plan on selling the extras, let me know! I'm not a figure person but they're too damn cute to pass up.

Sure thing it will probably be some time until I get them but thanks for your interest

Seriously, what's with the ads on every other reply, have some decency, this is not the place for that.

I just purchased my third WCF figure from Ebay! It's Berserk Kale. Cost more than I'd hope to spend but she's worth it.

Don't worry about it along with Jiren it seems Kale was also the under produced of the set so she and he are going for a bit more. During the first couple days the set came out she actually was priced the same as the others but then shot up.

Oh, well that's nice to know! I picked her up for $24 vs the usual $16, so it wasn't a whole lot more. I did see sets of the two going for $60+ though. Guess it explains that.

Decided against the

My Kale just showed up today and I have her on display! The box really does not do justice to the colors on this thing. Her hair is this neat semi-metallic minty green and her shirt and skirt are this dark bloody red. She looks great!

Yeah Banpresto's stock images are really bad for some reason like the above DXFs I mentioned look much better out of box.
I do regret not picking Kale up though at a chance for $9 shipped... Oh well, hopefully they release on of her controlled form much prefer that anyway.

Proof that I buy too much DB merchandise lately these guys showed up. I had to get them as this is now one of my favorite Dragon Ball episodes.

And yeah I did decide to not get the rarer Yamcha. I mean its funny but I think the Goku & Vegeta just go better together. Three is kind of a crowd. Or it was just too much to get all 3. Sorry Yamcha!
I also bought the puzzle representing this episode but still waiting for that to arrive.

Got two more WCFs, this time I found Gine brand new on ebay for pretty cheap, and preordered SS2 Caulifla off of Otaku Mode! This could become a really expensive habit if I'm not careful, but these figures are so cute.

Vegeta, Zen-Oh and DBS Part 1 arrived (since Anime Ltd delayed Wolf's Rain decided to get DBS Part 1 now):
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]
Okay I now 100% will say that next months IBK will be my last SSGSS purchase, for Vegeta at least, I'm really digging the
SSGSSKK BoS Goku for May so may get that.
These are the jb hi fi Australian release of Dragon ball super and the blu ray editions of the movies. The slip covers got a little damaged but they will do.
