Anyone that was stupid enough to have never deduced that Mexiku was always going to be the SDCC exclusive deserves to have been swindled by scalpers on eBay. Honestly, I don't see it as being sloppy seconds - really, I see it being more of a limited edition timed exclusive more in lines with video game dlc before a multi-platform roll out or an advanced movie screening, prior to premier. To one effect, Mexiku will always have maintain some higher level of collectability over SDCC, purely because of the limited production value. But this figure was engineered specifically to be the SDCC exclusive. It was inevitable.

They could pull a fast one on us and do that which would suck cuz then anyone that wants Namek Goku has to fork over whatever the scalper's want. It's basically a tease at this point. That's just the tradition and for some collectors that aren't as "in the know", it's still a surprise and hint for them. Yeah they could pull a fast one on us, like it can be a God Goku like in Battle of the Gods. Or a Kaioken Goku! But really hoping its MexiGoku. Well, in this case Namek Goku?... Since MexiGoku is known for the Mexico exclusive Goku.

It would be funny if they fed us over by making it a Turtle school Kanji Goku, instead of the Kaioshin.

Well MexiGoku IS Namek Goku but to distinguish between the two, I'm calling the Mexico exclusive MexiGoku and the SDCC Namek Goku. Technically, they're different and will have different values even if it is just the box being the difference. There's only 500 of those boxes in existence after all so if you're paying scalper prices, you're basically paying for a realllllly expensive and rare box with a Goku figure in it

I definitely will. The only way I would truly be disappointed on the $500 I spent on mexigoku would be if they released the same box and all for the sdcc version which is unlikely lol.

But this figure was engineered specifically to be the SDCC exclusive. It was inevitable. Not really about the MexiGoku always holding a higher level collectability, since if the SDCC has everything that the MexiGoku has, then theres nothing different except the box. And theres no limited production value run as its the same figure and contents. Its like a side batch for a exclusive event just for those who reside in Mexico. Thats theres. While all of us we'll get ours at SDCC. But if the SDCC contents is not same as the MexiGoku, like if it doesn't come with the face, then yeah the MexiGoku will hold its collectability value as you can only get that face from the MexiGoku. I just really hope that if it is the MexiGoku, I really hope its exactly like the MexiGoku, contents and all.

Through the individual sellers, yeah. Through Amazon officially, probably not since they've never sold exclusives before.

It would be funny if they fed us over by making it a Turtle school Kanji Goku, instead of the Kaioshin. Or Turles disguised as Goku! (Oh wai-!) Or it could be Ginyu Goku, we don't know if he secretly has a scouter on his head! It's Mexicu, but at this point, it is a little fun to think of alternatives that it could be modified to be.
