I just want Trunks and SS Vegeta o bad!! I want to buy two of each (one with normal head, and one with SS head) and with this prices I cant buy even one!! Buy a Datong Super Saiyan Vegeta. For a bootleg, it's great. Many people have been buying them on eBay. It's well worth the $30 for a simple figure with two sets of faces and hands. Trunks is almost two figures in one, if that helps any in of your buying decisions. You could buy another Datong Super Saiyan Vegeta and put which ever Trunks head you're not currently *using on that. There's some great pictures of that figure. Who knows, maybe some day a well made bootleg of Trunks will come out similar to Datong Super Saiyan Vegeta.

Considering that there are two figures to each character, is there a possibility that we will geta repaint (manga color) of ttrunks? Or was he also exclusive like vegeta?

I'm just going to go to my corner and cry. That all bad man. I wouldve liked a manga colored trunks. I think it would've been kind of cool.

This thread is useless... I agree! The countless times we have discussed this is annoying. It is true that many of us, including myself don't have all the figuarts releases and wish to get them but they are too expensive. However, it doesn't serve right the ones who bought them when they were first released as well as the ones who bought them after the price hike. We know beforehand that these figures are branded as collectibles and not simple "toys" like Irwin for example, and thus are subject to price increases. Along with many others, I believe that these figures are an entertainment as well as an investment (like a piece of art) and their price increase along the line is in fact something good and not bad. For the guys who bought a couple of normal gokus and android 18s now, I'm sure you wouldn't be happy if they are rereleased in a couple of years and you lose the $200+ you can make off them. So instead of pooping the party for the ones who can make a thousand bucks from their vegetas (yes you BrownDynomite ) just wait for a variant or save up some money and buy him.

I haven't paid retail for a single figure, and do I bitch on about re-releasing exclusive figures!? No, sir-e-bob!

Don't give a rat's a** about "collectible value," I find that to be a horrible business ethic. "Integrity by alienation" is always laughable to me from any company. Here we go again.. It's not integrity by alienation, it's integrity by following through with the promise they made when they marketed a figure as an exclusive.

Anybody enjoying the figures doesn't care about what they're "worth". The prices are retarded and those who get angry about this topic are probably guys sitting on 3 unopened copies of each extremely expensive one. It's too bad they don't re-release at a $60 premium in limited quantities for the holidays on a certain character per year or something.
With that said yeah it seems hopeless. I'm not a big trunks fan but it's too bad I won't get to have a complete set of Z fighters. (I don't want an armor variant id easily skip that.) I just paid $130usd for saiyan vegeta. I doubt I'll do that for any others I'm missing.

They may not rerelease those figures, but if we tell it again and again, theres a chance that they might read it and think about it.

In my own opinion, I think that tamashii should have sold enough linited for 2 per person and just have a higher price on the figures. Because you have all these people buying like three or four figures. Then when they're all out they dick us by selling them higher.
Now I don't have a problem with paying more. It's just the fact that I think everyone should get a shot at getting it at the same price kind of. Like for instance, the vegeta. Hadn't people over bought him, the price would've increased slowly. But since everyone took all the copies it dramatically increased in value.
But then again. Asking two per person would be too much to ask

Are Goku and Krillin web exclusives that can't be rereleased?

This is simple. If a figure is exclusive or limited the. It should NOT be redeleased. If it is standard release then it should be redeleased every time it's value exceeds $100 like that new company is doing with rare video games like Rez and resident evil
