Hey guys!
There is something i've been wondering for quite a long time now:
we all now Vegeta is by far the most popular charachter of all sagas and Goku is not that much beloved. However, many gokus figures are sold out, and Vegetas are still easy to find! Where is the logic in that?!

Hopefully we get it with a SSJ2 Goku. I would hope they'd give us that before a SSJ Goku 2.0. Or, how about an SS Goku 2.0 with SS2 Hair as an accessory? Like they did with SS Gohan? That would be ideal. i definitely go for it

If you are based in North America and benefit from free domestic shipping, plus you don't mind waiting until late July for release then I would recommend you sit tight and wait for the Bluefin distributions. For everyone else, ordering from Japan is probably the cheapest bet. My CDJ order came in at 2500 (after applying my current 300 yen discount) and shipping to UK was 700 yen. So basically $28 (20 GBP/24 EUR) shipped. By far the cheapest S.H.Figuarts since the original run of Goku, Piccolo and Gohan back in 2009/2010. I might even keep the multiples on this one No 'im not, i'm living in Europe, that's why north america would cost a lot to me

Bardock is the only movie figure i would buy! (OK it's a tv special, but whatever, i mean "not from the manga or the anime) Anyway, Bardock apears on one page from the manga, and as well in DB minus. Being a Bardock buff.. I do have to clarify, Bardock did make appearances in the anime, in addition to those two panels in the manga. He made cameo appearances in Dragon Ball Z during Frieza's flashbacks to the 'final confrontation' scene when Frieza realizes Bardock's relation to Goku. I believe there were flashback snippets of Bardock in 3 epsiodes around that time (DBZ Ep. 78, 86, and 87). Then, in DBZ Kai, Bardock was shown in the beginning of the very first epsiode. Had to geek out there a bit.. Sorry! I feel like that's what you meant more or less, just my clarification. A lot of people think he was never in the anime. He is super popularized in all of the things surrounding DB, that's for sure. I really hope they do make a figure for him - and that it's not Time Breaker Bardock or some variation from DBH or Xenoverse, or even DB Minus, but the OG Bardock from the first TV Special. Until then, I have my customs! On another note.. dying over here waiting for the SHF Goku 2.0 Pre-order!!Ho yeah, you're right, i forgot about that

You mean this could be it yet? We have namel Goku for june if my recollections are correct. But following what you've just said with Gotenks and Bulma, we would still have two free months to fill. And let's not forget we might have two figures being released the same months Yeah, if we get Buu, Gotenks and Bulma in Aug, Sep and Oct that would leave Nov and Dec free. Best case scenario we could see some double releases, but worst case we could get a skipped month and only get one more in 2018. Hmmm, that makes me think........if we could only get one more figure released in 2018, who would you choose?? For me it would be a tough toss up between Raditz and the long overdue Piccolo 2.0!! If i could only choose one figure? toss up between Jiren and Migate no Gokui Goku! Won’t they release more Super characters? Zamasu, Jiren, Ultimate Instinct. If not I hope for Bardock. I think Ssj4 Goku won’t be out before 2020 with all the new characters from Super and they’re releasing DB characters Bardock is the only movie figure i would buy! (OK it's a tv special, but whatever, i mean "not from the manga or the anime) Anyway, Bardock apears on one page from the manga, and as well in DB minus.

Majin Buu, and Bulma were JUST shown. Unlike in previous years, Tamashii has been good about releasing figures they have shown... eventually. If anything, this gives me concerns about Gotenks... he's been prototyped for FAR longer than Goku, yet no release? Hrm. That said, I am sorta happy that this listing does give me a bit of a breather. I was already planning on skipping Freeza and probably Goku (I own both the originals, and while I LIKE the new Goku, it's not worth the money when I own a perfectly good one... especially when I prefer the Buu Saga outfit) and as cool as Majin Vegeta is, he doesn't have a place in my display. I agree, to me, we won't see any of Gotenks for sale. I think his time has gone now. Bulma is much more recent, there's still hope for here, even if i will pass on her because of her clothes. And i fully understand your point: no need to buy a rerelease if you're pleased with the original one. I do have Krilin yet, thereby, i won't buy a new one, unless he would come from the Saiyan period, wich might have my interest. Majin Vegeta has the same concern for me: no one to display with. He definitely needs big boo to get my purchase.

Looks like if my translation is correct, Master Roshi is due out in July!! Shonenjump has “kamesejin” in kanji, who is Roshi I think. I think it makes sense after the new Goku has been advertised with him. I wonder if we'll get anything else in 2018! You mean this could be it yet? We have namel Goku for june if my recollections are correct. But following what you've just said with Gotenks and Bulma, we would still have two free months to fill. And let's not forget we might have two figures being released the same months

At this point, Raditz and Super Buu are probably the most needed Figuarts among main characters. As for Jiren, we may not see him for a while. I bet they're waiting for Super to show him at full strength, so they'll know what additional effects to give him. I don't think we'll have to wait that much to see a full power Jiren, cause the climax is coming, and the tournament is taking end in march.

I'd like some more Super characters too, have just rewatched through the U6vsU7 arc and now I really want a Hit figure again... Maybe Cabba too... and Jaco, as silly as he is. I'm cool with them spacing them out between DBZ releases that we haven't got yet though like Buu and Gotenks but after the DB figures we've seen so far I could go without that line - which really hurts because I like a lot of classic Dragon Ball more than Z or Super Yes for Super, I would like Hit, zamasu fusioned or Jiren but before everything else "Z" character as Commando Ginyu, zarbon, doria, mr satan, raditz... (and why not janemba, A13 or coola for OAV). I am not very interested by "DB" character except Keme Senin. Zamasu Fusionned would be cool too, but i'm not that much interested in all these DBZ characters because money and room in my place will be missing. I have to stick with the big dudes actually.

For me it goes the other way: I think they should keep going with what they started in super before making any DB figures, and i don't care about movies and OAV I'd like some more Super characters too, have just rewatched through the U6vsU7 arc and now I really want a Hit figure again... Maybe Cabba too... and Jaco, as silly as he is. I'm cool with them spacing them out between DBZ releases that we haven't got yet though like Buu and Gotenks but after the DB figures we've seen so far I could go without that line - which really hurts because I like a lot of classic Dragon Ball more than Z or Super Yes, Hit, definitely. Jiren and Goku MNG are the "must have" in the first place.

Yes, Raditz !! The first DBZ enemy and with majin boo, majin vegeta, gotenk & all those already available We will finally have all the most important dragon ball z characters ! But i want more dragon ball "Z" and OAV characters and not dragon ball or Super... I would have liked a bulma saga namek or end of boo and not in soldier... she sucks ! For me it goes the other way: I think they should keep going with what they started in super before making any DB figures, and i don't care about movies and OAV

Well as we approach the end of 2017 and the start of a new year, here are 10 thing i've learnt or will address in 2018: 1) I love the saiyan saga. I had previously held the Cell saga is high esteem, but forgot how great the saiyan saga was! 2) Yamcha and Tien turned out to be fantastic figures! 3) Dragon Ball Super is growing on me. 4) I'm kinda bummed I missed pre-orders for Goku Black from Nippon Yasan 5) WE NEED A RADITZ SH FIGUARTS! 6) I never completed watching the original DB. 7) Master Roshi Figuarts is growing on me, but i'm still not 100%. The Bulma sucks and I have 0 interest in it. 9) I'm still not a huge Boo saga fan. Although Majin Vegeta & Boo look nice. 10) WE NEED A RADITZ SH FIGUARTS! If they make Raditz, they must make baby Gohan included. I love the Saiyan Saga as well, my favourite one DBS is growing on me as well because of the tournament: PLEASE MAKE JIREN AND GOKU MNG!!

If i understand right, you mean they keep in mind to fill the holes by releasing the pairs you mention if the sales in general are droping? Well, they know collectors will buy MOST figures, regardless of who they can currently pair with. But slowly, they go back and fill the appropriate pair. And since they produce more new figures than they do "completist" ones, they will leave themselves with plenty of holes to fill, aka plenty of hungry buyers wanting to fill their collection. Ok, i see. Yes, this might be the strategy.
