Additionally, this demand for doujinshi sparked a conversation about availability and we've made the decision to no longer have the doujinshi boxes classified as limited items. Along with the pre-order for the Michiking Box, we will have a pre-order for the Saitom Box to return to the store for everyone who may have missed out on it for the first time. The Saitom Box will differ from the original box set where it'll be the same size as the Michiking Box and Koume Keito Box for consistency's sake.Will there be a limited pre-order period or will it just go on until the new sets are manufactured?
It'll be until the new sets are manufactured just like our books are, there is no small window of time you have to catch. It just opens on Saturday is the earliest you can pre-order.
Please keep in mind if you're pre-ordering both Saitom and Michiking Box in one order, as with any other pre-order purchases, it won't actually ship out until the last title comes in. So if you're wanting both and order both in one order then you won't get either until November 2020.

Does that mean all boxset going forward will be a preorder item?There's still more details for us to work out a solid plan with how it'll work with pre-ordering and also physically being at AX, but we'll have some sort of pre-order arranged with details later on next year. I don't have all the answers with this yet since we have several issues we want to address and make sure it's taken in consideration.
Cool. Having been able to get one every year I would hate to miss out on getting them going forward due to the change in production.

Thank you so much Brittany and the rest of the Fakku team for this decision. I’ve been seeking the Saitom set for the longest time and would have paid inflated eBay prices if I had seen it there, but I’m much happier to give Fakku my money.

Do the physical boxes look like a magazine omnibus or like a paper back book ?A couple pages back in this thread a user posted pics of their box. https://www.fakku.net/forums/books/michiking-box/page/5#4765554
The doujinshi themselves are taller than our normal books though if that's what you're asking.

The textured covers were kind of awful IMO, each book rubbed on the others and it caused the texture to flake off like glitter.

Those textures will not be on the reprintsHmm..so it's a smooth version of the Michiking Box? Just want to confirm if the print is not the same with the original release from Anime Expo 2019? I guess I'll miss the rough cover like from Saitom Box.
Reprint is reprint, so we will still order haha
And everyone, I checked Michiking and Saitom Box from store, and pre-order is available. Very cool!

I made an updated post about these two boxes here: Saitom and Michiking Box Reprints
Michiking is a straight reprint, no changes will be made to it. Saitom box will have changes to it and will no longer have that glitter UV layer but will still have areas of spot gloss. The size of the Saitom box will be different as well.
