Could you provide a picture and show the difference between android saga and cell saga vegeta's? Literally only difference is the boots Nitpicking at its finest.

Welcome to the site! ToyzInTheBox, BBTS, MHToyShop and Eknight are all good places for preorders. I never had a problem with any of them.

No idea about Bandai, but I believe there are a few sites that do the "Pay when it's released" rather than pay when you pre-order. I can't recall off the top of my head, but the "Where do you buy Figuarts" from thread would be a much better place to get your information.

Literally only difference is the boots Nitpicking at its finest. Nitpicking? Here? Surely not. EDIT: Actually those pictures Prodigy posted pretty much illustrate to me perfectly what the problem with the hair is. That light blonde look as opposed to the straight up solid yellow coloring that the figure has. .

Literally only difference is the boots Nitpicking at its finest. To some it may seem nitpicky but if you're a completionist, it's not. My collection goal is to have as many characters as possible in as many outfits/variations that they can give us. Everyone's got different collection standards bro! Some people want to have only one version of Vegeta while others want every version, to each their own! rayd, the platinum hair is TRUE anime accuracy but it's almost never seen in action figures. Maybe one day they'll do it, but if they do I'd want ALL the Saiyans to get the same treatment. I'd rather have consistency in the line.

So in a nutshell, Say there is two different vegeta figures, they have the same clothes, paint, detail, articulation etc... Except for one thing... One vegeta has a small black line across his back, and the other one doesn't. Would you pay 500$ for that figure if it was an SDCC exclusive?

If that was a significant enough outfit that Vegeta wore where the line actually was a part of his look, then guess what? It's a different outfit! The point is Android Saga Vegeta and Cell Saga Vegeta are different forms of him. If the difference happens to be just the boot tips, so be it. Don't wanna get another Vegeta cuz you already have one then don't

I think it is completely stupid to buy another figure if they only have such small change, I highly disagree that android saga vegeta is a 'different' form of him too. But each one for their own opinion I guess

It's as much of a different outfit as Namek Goku is to BoG Goku, Buu Saga Goku, Saiyan Saga Goku, etc. Minor changes, but they represent the character at different points of the series. As I said man, I'm a completionist with different collection standards than you. You don't have to agree with me but at the very least understand what I'm saying.
Back to Vegeta, I noticed some people complaining about the lack of detail in the boot tips (myself included) but they were true to their word in that it is simply a repaint. This Vegeta should come with everything the original came with, nothing more, nothing less.

This Vegeta should come with everything the original came with, nothing more, nothing less. We still dont know if he does come with the crossed arm thingy, people are already jumping to conclusions that for one, his boot tips are gunna be that way, 2, his shading sucks and his overall painting is worst than the first one, and three, he doesnt come witht he crossed arms... How do we know that? He could come with them, they may not have just included it in the pics. And remember, just prototypes, same with trunks.

I don't necessarily think the full platinum color is the way to go, but I guess my point was that the recolor's would have benefitted by a lighter shade. Not full platinum but somewhere between what they have now and platinum would be great I think. as for the boot tips Android/Cell saga Vegeta thing. It isn't a massive thing, but it's neat to have the difference. I have an old one and will be getting a new one, and will likely display them in their Android/Cell saga scenes respectively. If the new one didn't exist would it bother me to display the non boot-tipped one in a Cell display? No way, but it's a small but neat distinction to have. If I get a Mexiku, im likely to display it in an 'over 9000' scene with Scouter Vegeta. Not technically accurate but close enough! Haha. Also Wiz is right, we haven't seen everything with these recolors and while it is unlikely, would be good to see a few extras thrown in.

I would hope we do get extra stuff but I'm not holding my breath. Seeing as they didn't detail the tips, it looks like a straight up repaint with no extra goodies. I'm also afraid it may not be a prototype since once the official promo pics are up, they have never gone back and changed things. Hoping they read our criticisms and apply our feedback but I highly doubt it.
