Bandai just pulled the plug on international sellers like HLJ, Hobby Search, etc., stocking most of their products in the name of fighting scalpers.

Exactly what I was alluding to, but from what I gather Bandai's international distributors/partners will still get stocks, just that the rest of the world can't dip into products allocated specifically for the JP sellers.
Make's sense. I haven't been easily able to find models in local store websites or websites in general. On the plus side even if the models won't be released, we still get the anime.

My understanding with Mecha Hanger's later clarification post is that applies to stores that don't have anti-scalper measures. Stores that get their stock directly from Bandai like international version HLJ are not affected seemingly since Bandai already approved their stock for overseas sales.
Japanese stores that are selling stocks given to them for sale in Japan but they are distributing them overseas are affected though and asked to desist. I can see this written in the original Bandai official letter Mecha Hanger posted.
