# NJPW Halts Pre-Orders and Imports at Tokon Shop After U.S. Closure Label: CONFIRMED Promotion: NJPW By WrestlingNews.com Staff Published Nov. 12, 2026, 2:00 AM ET URL: https://wrestlingnews.com/story/njpw-halts-imports-and-pre-orders-at-tokon-shop-global-after-us-closure/ > NJPW said on Nov. 11 that its international store, Tokon Shop Global, stays open but will stop selling pre-order items and goods imported from Japan, because the closed U.S. subsidiary's LA Dojo was its warehouse. Wrestle Kingdom tickets bought there remain valid. ## The quick version - NJPW's international store, Tokon Shop Global, will keep operating, but sales of pre-order items and products imported from Japan are halted. - The reason given is that New Japan of America's LA Dojo served as the store's warehouse. NJPW announced on Nov. 6 that the subsidiary is ceasing operations. - Wrestle Kingdom tickets bought through the shop remain valid and can be collected at a dedicated booth on the day of the event. New Japan Pro-Wrestling said in a statement posted Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, that its international store, Tokon Shop Global, will stay open after the shutdown of its U.S. subsidiary. The store will stop selling pre-order items and goods imported from Japan, because New Japan of America's LA Dojo was the shop's warehouse. PWInsider and Fightful both printed the statement on Nov. 11. NJPW's own site dates its notice Nov. 12, and we do not know why the dates differ. ## What NJPW says is changing The notice, headed "Regarding Tokon Shop Global," makes four points: - The store "will continue operations after the dissolution," but "operational changes will be made" because the LA Dojo "serves as the store's warehouse." - "Sales of pre-order items and products imported from Japan will be halted." - Outstanding orders will be handled "as quickly as possible." If there is "a significant delay with a pre-order item," NJPW says it will issue a refund. - Customers should check shop.njpw1972.com for news as services are updated. ## What stays valid NJPW says all Wrestle Kingdom tickets bought through Tokon Shop Global "remain valid and may be picked up from the dedicated booth on the day of the event." It says more information on that process "will be made public at a later date." The notice does not name the date or venue. Wrestle Kingdom 21 is on Jan. 4, 2027, at the Tokyo Dome, per our earlier [card story](https://wrestlingnews.com/story/seven-matches-set-wrestle-kingdom-21/). ## What the notice does not say It gives no date for when the halt takes effect and no count of affected orders. It does not say whether a new warehouse is planned, how long the pause lasts, or which items count as "imported from Japan." It also does not say what happens to goods still stocked at the LA Dojo. The store's front page, as we read it on Nov. 12, shows a clearance section that includes items marked "LA Dojo Stock." That is a listing we saw. NJPW has not linked it to the notice. ## How this connects NJPW said on Nov. 6 that New Japan Pro-Wrestling of America will cease operations and enter liquidation. Our [earlier story](https://wrestlingnews.com/story/njpw-of-america-to-close-and-enter-liquidation/) has that notice. The NJPW Academy in Carson, formerly the LA Dojo, said the same day that it is closing. See [our story on the Academy](https://wrestlingnews.com/story/njpw-academy-in-carson-closing-after-eight-years/). The store notice is the first NJPW statement we have seen on how the closure affects merchandise. **How we know.** Source: NJPW's own notice, read on njpw1972.com, matched word for word against the copies printed by PWInsider (Mike Johnson) and Fightful (Jeremy Lambert).
