Bandai Distribution in Canada
posted on by Christopher Macdonald
Bandai Entertainment has again changed distributors in Canada.
Bandai Entertainment's new Canadian Distributor is the Paradox Entertainment Group. In late 2004 Bandai Entertainment created Bandai Entertainment Canada, which was managed by the Target Marketing Group.
Paradox's first shipment of Bandai Entertainment products will be for the May 30 release date. For the first couple months Bandai Entertainment products will be released 1 week after they are released in the USA, however Paradox plans to eventually start shipping the Bandai releases on the same date as in the USA.
For May 30, Paradox will also be releasing Bandai's catalog of already released titles, including the last several weeks worth of titles that haven't shipped in Canada. The pre-order date for May 30 was in late April, however new orders can be made and will be fufilled as quickly as possible.
Paradox will be handling large accounts for wholesalers and chain stores. Second tier distributors will handle smaller accounts, however Paradox will handle inquiries and refer buyers to the appropriate distributor.
Enquiries regarding opening an account with Paradox, or for a referral to the appropriate second tier distributor, should be sent to [email protected].
Paradox also is the exclusive Canadian distributor for Bandai Entertainment, The Right Stuf International and Media Blasters and also distributes (non-exclusively) Geneon and ADV Films.
