I would love that, but I still really want the Mexican Goku.

I want Namek Goku too cuz if it isn't him then I got fork over a lot of dough to scalpers for one. REALLY don't wanna do that. It's 99% him, it's been confirmed by multiple inside sources already so no worries guys! We'll probably get the official full reveal tomorrow or Saturday at the latest judging by how they usually do these things.

What confuses me is Advanced SS Vegeta's boot toes. Why are they like that? Its painted yeah, but theres no lines on the toes. Just looks plain lazy like Vegetto's kamehameha hands. They could of reused Vegettos toe or foot and alter it to fit onto their Advanced SS Vegeta.

Personally, because I am not a completionist, it doesn't bug me like it bugs other people... I think it looks fine, once you look at it more, it feels and looks more natural. But you never know, they could surprise use and give him detailed boots and re-use vegito's feet.

It'll be exactly like the original release simply with different colors. I'd hope for them to include things but they won't.

Do people actually think that they'll be getting the SDCC exclusive/Namek Goku by pre-ordering it on ebay? Some are doing biddings??? Which is odd as if its pre-order then isn't it set/solid price? Theres even a listing that is for a case of 24 Gokus for $2,000 bucks! And its a pre-order! Like unless you work for Tamashii and can get a case but as a single person or with friends of 2-5 I doubt you can get 24 Gokus. Do any of the sellers and bidders realize that its like one single person vs alomost like 3,000 to 6,000 visitors! Also hopefully it doesn't make people later on sell theres for that price that theyre seeing now, its over $100 already? As i'm hoping to get mine for at least $65-$80.

People keep on saying that its still in the prototype stage, that those are prototype pictures but theyre not, thats it, its done, thats how its going to look like and be getting. And then people complain later on. Like when Piccolo was first coming out, a lot of people were certain that a special beam cannon effect would be included but wasn't shown in the pictures because it was "apparently" prototype pictures, when it was actually the final say, and Piccolo came out and people were like wheres the beam cannon? And complained. *sigh...* But surprises, nah... nope, not going to happen.

You haven't been around for any other SDCC release like this I take it. You should really at this point just wait and see. It will be available to purchase from Tamashii's premium site, as well as a few online retailers as well as on the show floor.

But I have, just wondering since this SDCC exclusive has some controversy behind it compared to previous others, thats why.

I too agree its a little early to be pulling the trigger on ebay just yet. Coot

Alright calm down, like I said it will look better once you look at it more, it has already looked better for me. And to be honest, why are we even complaining about it being painted anyways? We should be happy that we got painted boot tips over nothing, in this case the original white boots. More detail = the better.... And it's more accurate.

I'm sorry but there isn't any other conclusion that I could be lead to due to your posting history. You have been posting an awful lot of opinions that would be considered trolling and trying to bring up problems that don't exist. I'm not trying to single you our or anything. You are simply the only one that I've seen constantly trying to stir a pot that isn't being stirred. There are eBay pre-orders up not only for the SDCC (As always) but also for the Advanced Paint versions, and the Awakening Goku. There will be pre-orders for everything announced, and you can only be safe with them if they 1) Have a release date already, 2) Said release date is within the time frame that eBay allows you to open a case against the seller. Tamashii has always had more stock than they bring to SDCC, and there isn't really much reason for them not to at this point. Until we see otherwise there isn't much use in panicking about availability. There have not been ANY announcements of "Limited to 500" or some other obscene number for the SDCC. In fact it would be absurd to make a production run that low, they wouldn't be able to make a profit off of the figure alone, and action figures are not especially a "Loss Leader" kind of product. Especially when it's not being sold at retail for a premium.

There are people that their job is just going to SDCC and buying exclusives to resell. They will have people only wait days in multiple lines to buy exclusives. I have yet to hear about any company running out of ALL stock of exclusives at SDCC, unless it was something like the only two Grayskulls that Mattel did or something ridiculously limited. Most companies follow the sales numbers from previous years at SDCC, and then increase that number so they are sure to have enough. They, also, make more for online stock after SDCC. There will always be more made than they can sell at SDCC.
I've preordered and bought different SDCC exclusives on ebay, other sites, and on companies' own sites after SDCC. Never had a problem. Just follow simple ebay common sense. Make sure the listed date is within the 30-day period, make sure the seller has good feedback and history, and if it looks way too good to be true it probably isn't true.

The SDCC Exclusive craze has actually tapered down in the recent years and most of the notorious SDCC Exclusive companies like Hasbro, Mattel and a few others have been "better" about keeping a larger stock. The one company that is slow but "learning" is LEGO. Who has recently joined the whole SDCC Exclusive figure/set dealership in the past few years and doesn't quite understand or have a "hold" on it. They make way too little like Hasbro and Mattel have in the past. I mentioned it before but when I was at SDCC 2014, a little girl almost got trampled during the 'rush' to the LEGO line because they split releasing ONLY 1000 sets between four days (250 a day). Then again, LEGO can afford to make less of their cheaper items due to their production process and they announced their stock numbers before the event.
Other companies do bring a "limited" stock to SDCC, but companies like Hasbro and Mattel have gotten better in recent years and even though they do commonly sell out of their "SDCC Stock", there's usually more than enough that they can sell on their online stores later on. Sometimes companies bring in more stock throughout the weekend.
Bluefin-Tamashii is one of the better companies at SDCC and they had Vegeta stock throughout the entire SDCC weekend. Like I said, I saw scalpers walking away with BOXES of Arlia Vegeta on Saturday and Sunday. Now, whether the stock will be the same like it was before? That we don't know because Bluefin and Bandai-Tamashii don't announce their stock sizes, but I feel it;s safe to say there should be a substantial amount for all the attendees and more.
I wish more companies would follow Sideshow Collectibles' model for SDCC, but unfortunately that's wishful thinking.

Especially when it's not being sold at retail for a premium. LOL! Doesn't matter that there isn't any other conclusion that makes you think that I haven't been around for any other SDCC exclusives like this. The point is don't assume anything of me and stick to the topic. Like I can't say that you've never been to SDCC so how would you know, i can't say that because i don't know you, for all I know you've been to SDCC more than me. lol! Its simple as that, don't assume of others. Trying to stir a pot that isn't being stirred,? What? lol! You can take my opinions/comments as you want, trolling or trying to bring up problems (don't know how are they problems though) but theyre just my opinions/comments, never towards anyone personally but just towards the topic, your just the one that assuming things in the wrong way.
BUT ANYWAYS! The reason why I asked because of that whole 24k Green Ranger Dragon Dagger or morpher that they had a at previous SDCC. Those sold out fast. And people complained A LOT! Which is a given, but were upset that there was no more stock, I think it was for that day or for the next day too. And the reason why was because it got attention as the MexiGoku did too. Of course scalpers attacked and were selling it for double to triple the amount, but in this case i've had successful SDCC purchases on ebay because they were items that were not in a controversy like MexiGoku/Namek Goku, so which I wonder how it will turn out for it. To which I found it odd that sellers on ebay were doing preorders but by biddings, thats what I found odd. But all this doesn't quite matter right? Just have to wait and see... so yeah... Also never purchased from Tamashii/Blufin site before, from where do the items come from? Like what state/country do they ship out from?
