Critical alert for Japan collectors: Save ¥12,000 by securing the US-exclusive Jellycat Amuseable S'mores today
Table of Contents
The Urgency of the 2026 US Exclusive
As of May 26, 2026, the Jellycat 'Amuseable S'mores' has officially reached critical status for collectors in Japan. Launched last week as a strictly US-only release, this specific plush is not scheduled to hit the Asia-Pacific market until late 2027. This 18-month gap has created a massive secondary market where prices are already skyrocketing. By using a freight forwarder, you can bypass local resellers who are currently charging triple the original retail price.
Why Japan Collectors Must Act Now
The demand for the Amuseable S'mores is unprecedented. Collectors in Hong Kong and Japan are already depleting US stock via online channels. If you wait for the official APAC launch, you risk missing the initial 2026 production run entirely. Save ¥12,000 on your collection by bypassing resellers and shipping the US-exclusive S'mores directly to Japan. Using a tax-free US address allows you to purchase at the same price as a US resident, ensuring you don't pay unnecessary markups.
Securing Your Order from US Retailers
To get your hands on this plush, you need to shop at US-based retailers. However, most of these stores do not offer direct international shipping to Tokyo or Osaka. The solution is to use comGateway, which provides you with a US shipping address. Once your S'mores arrives at the warehouse, you can consolidate it with other items to further reduce costs. If you are unsure about the process, the help center provides detailed instructions on setting up your account.

Solving Payment Blocks with BuyForMe
Many US stores that carry exclusive Jellycat releases have strict security protocols that often block international credit cards or flag orders sent to a package forwarding address. This can lead to frustrating cancellations right when stock is low. The safest way to guarantee your order is through BuyForMe service.
With this proxy shopping solution, comGateway acts as your US-based buyer. We use a US domestic credit card to purchase the Amuseable S'mores on your behalf, effectively bypassing any regional payment restrictions. This assisted purchase ensures you don't lose out on limited stock due to a declined Japanese card.
Japan Import and Customs Compliance
When importing goods into Japan, you must be aware of the 2026 customs regulations. For most personal imports, if the total value of your shipment is under ¥16,666, you may be exempt from import tax and consumption tax. However, for higher-value shipments or multiple items, duties will apply.
