Accessing Premium Bandai Japan

[innorous]

Hey guys,

I have been trying to get into Premium Bandai Japan to view items, but no matter how I am trying, it is always redirecting back to that annoying INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING page.
It was never a problem for me. I could just reload or back out and reenter again and it would lead to the right page, but not anymore. 

I tried microsoft edge and chrome and both had same problem. I have also tried to set to disable redirect for p-bandai.jp on chrome, but it didn't fix the problem. 
i wonder if anyone also experience same problem or they have changed something to lock out international user which would really suck for proxy request.

I am based in US btw.

I heared they changed something. I'm in a monsterarts group and in the last poll due to that new lock out.

I just tried it too and couldn't enter the page, just redirects back to the region selection page.
When I turn on VPN and set it to a Japan server I can access it.

I believe it has always been like that for the past couple years. You have to do some trickery to bypass it I heard, but I didn't bother. You can still visit their normal Tamashii site and product catalogue however. Just not the buying pages.

Yeah, I never had to use VPN and was able to go in without too much trouble or tries, but they might have upgraded something so VPN is like a must now.
