Can we get a system for bringing back items that are discontinued on the site but still being made/sold?
Like even if it's like a group special order for them so once enough people pay for theirs you'll order more or if we buy like 5 or something. Like the chimera was discontinued but that thing was crazy popular.

We were going to make a post about some of the functions on the site to address some of the request for improvements that you guys have asked during our first giveaway. But let us explain a part of it here since you're asking.
Currently we are in the process of organizing what products are discontinued by the manufacturer and what products were discontinued by us, so that we can display it differently on the site for users to easily see the difference.
If you haven't noticed, we are constantly adding many new products for pre-order on a weekly basis but there are just way too many products being released in Japan that we can't even list all the new ones. If we were to keep even all the under performing products in stock, then it will slow down our purchasing and restock process and won't be able to offer competitive prices as there could be a lot of dead inventory.
Keep in mind that unlike other onahole sites located in Japan that can just order locally after you place an order (that's why some products they can't ship out right away because they don't keep any in inventory). You then have to pay the really high shipping prices if you want your product faster, or pay for still high shipping prices and still wait for months. Because ToyDemon imports and keeps inventory, our risk is a lot higher when it comes to unpopular and new onaholes. This is why we offer our Pre-Order and Special-Order. You let us know the demand first, we are able to gauge how much stock to carry without resulting in a ton of dead inventory since there are so many new products. This helps us keep our cost low and in return we are able to offer lower price and free shipping on Pre-Order and Special-Orders.
So if there's anything you want that we don't carry anymore, use our special order form and let us know. As for all the other products we carry but are out of stock, PLEASE use the Wishlist and Notify Me, it affects how much we import and can maintain stock much better if we know how many people are interested.
