Want to order the Blu-rays/CDs?

CDJapan ships overseas, and from personal experience (shipping to the US), items come fairly quickly if you order ahead and choose DHL/FedEx. Links to buy from CDJapan:

CDJapan often marks the "first press" as sold out quite early, but this just means the first batch of CDs they've gotten has sold out. They can receive more CDs from their supplier, and usually these will still have application codes until far after the application date.
