Never miss a preorder deadline for anime figures, model kits, merch, and trading cards again. Follow the anime, tokusatsu, and game series you love, and HobiCale tells you when first-come preorders, lotteries, and made-to-order sales open and close, when lottery results are announced, and when items release or are expected to ship — on a calendar and with notifications.
Made for anyone who has ever found out a made-to-order window closed yesterday.
