Monsterpocalypse™ Collectible Miniatures game sells out in Japan

Privateer Press has announced that their Monsterpocalypse collectible miniatures game has sold out in Japan prior to launch.

“This is a very important indicator of the game’s potential in Japan,” stated Matt Wilson, designer of Monsterpocalypse and Creative Director of Privateer Press. “This paves the way to a bright future for Monsterpocalypse in a market and a culture that has celebrated over 50 years’ worth of the Giant Monster (Kaiju) genre.”

A product shortage is not anticipated at this point, especially as distribution in Japan expands, so players in Japan will be able to take full advantage of the Mega Ares Mother ship redemption program, and the Mega Sky Sentinel comic book promotion.

Monsterpocalypse launched this past Friday, October 10th, 2008 and has also recently sold out of starter sets at the manufacturer level in the US. Information about future releases for the Monsterpocalypse product line will be on display at Toy Fair in New York City in February 2009.

Well this post did not state the number of units shipped to Japan. Privateer might only have shipped a small number (relative to American) to test the market.
