Should items previously tied to physical purchases become available in-game again?

Shiva wave 1 was december.
Shiva wave 2 was bout 2ish weeks after wave 1 sold out. It lasted about 7 hours.
Shiva wave 3 was about 2ish weeks after wave 2. It also lasted around 7 hours.
Since then there have been a few listings of what I imagine were canceled sales/cards that didn't go through.

Thank you for the clarification. But again, seems like neither wave lasted very long.

Odin did not sell "ridiculously fast"- he lasted a couple months SE store post preorder.

Forgive me, but I recall threads being made very quickly after he became available for pre-order on the store about how he was already showing up as on backorder or no longer available. I do not recall him lasting "a couple months" post preorder.

In addition, SE will not charge you until they are ready to ship your items. You don't need to have money on hand when a listing goes up unless you want to get the payment over and done with immediately. If someone missed either of the statues, it was entirely because they weren't paying attention to the store. There was plenty of time to preorder both.

As someone who does not like to order things if I do not have the money on hand at the time or order regardless of when a company charges for the purchase, again, I understand people not wanting to throw down $150 USD if they do not readily have it in their account. Especially since SE can be particularly finicky with chargebacks and knee-jerk banning accounts (store or game). I can't fault someone for not pre-ordering if they didn't have $150 extra already in their account; I won't pre-order unless I can set aside money to cover the purchase even if the retailer won't charge me until the day it ships. But perhaps my perspective is influenced by my own actions, and not everyone will think along the same lines as I do. Fair enough.

Sorry, but I am still not really seeing the reason to keep them exclusive. As I said, re-release merchandise (and release a high enough demand that it will not sell out in less than 12 hours), or implement these extras as log-in campaign rewards that people can get by just paying their monthly sub. Or Mogstation is always an option, but since the thread OP said to take it out of the equation, I wasn't considering them in my initial post.
