My piccolo seems to have a ridiculously hard time getting the head on with the cape. Also his special beam cannon hand barely fits, it's loose. Are the pegs completely in? I've had trouble with some of the heads/hands into the pegs, as well, but pushed them in harder, but safely.

angelo2113... I think everyone knows that Crisis is from Sideshow freaks. Still, a very cool picture to get people pumped for this release. Personally, I don't feel Bandai is charging that much for the figure, though. He's going to be at least three times as massive as a standard SHF figure, which means much more paint and at least three times the plastic. I mean, they're not charging more just because he'll be amazingly better than all the other figures, they're charging more because he'll cost more to make. Just making sure! Crisis is a good guy so I wanted to mention his name with the picture since he posted it in that forum. Edited: Considering how massive the figure seems to be, it almost seems like a steal. Well that, and how much I've paid for the other figures in the recent market makes the price seems slightly small.

Wow, thats even cheaper than Amazon has it listed! Will be preordering this some time this or next week. Gonna buy a Krillin and then pre-order this bad ass. I know, the only thing is that you have to put down the full payment upfront. They explain it pretty well on the webpage. Yeah, definitely make sure you get Krillin relatively soon. And Android 18, if you don't. They seemed to be steady in price for awhile but recently they're going up and down.

This figure just looks beyond impressive. I can't blame them for charging a premium for it. I need to remember to preorder this.. It does, it's just amazing! Not at all, this is definitely worth the price for so many reasons. One of them is purely because this will be THE Broly figure. The cheapest seems to be... www.toyzinthebox.com/collections/s-h-figuarts/products/pre-order-s-h-figuarts-dragonball-z-broly-action-figureCourtesy of LittleGreen; When you're checking out at ToyzInTheBox.com use the coupon code: "TOKUCENTRAL5OFF" for a 5% off your order! That seems to be the best option. I ordered two off of Amazon but I'm tempted to get another one off of ToyzInTheBox. I plan on him decimating everybody in my display case, ha.

New picture, I believe. I got this over on another website from a member Crisis. Just to hype everybody up.

I'm surprised they started with Vegito right away if they're going to focus on the Buu Saga. You would assume Majin Vegeta and Super Saiyan 2 Goku would come out long before him. Well, i doubt vegoto will be the first release. Because i read so many posts talking about how they are making a buu, so if anything i feel like they'll push vegito back a little. I've read many of those posts as well but I would assume that they would have announced something at SDCC. Maybe they were using Vegito to hype the line up? I know by the end of the year, we should know who the next release is.

There's many alternatives for most of the expensive figures. Manga Gohan should be re-released because that was never part of their exclusive ideology, similar to Manga Piccolo and Manga Super Saiyan Goku. SDCC Goku is pretty cool and would be awesome to have in any collection but I actually enjoy the colors of Manga Super Saiyan Goku a lot better. I understand the exclusiveness of that though because it's SDCC. DaTong Vegeta is pretty freaking amazing for a bootleg at $28 for a $200+ figure. His price amazes me the most because he barely comes with any accessories but it goes to show you that the character is in such a high demand. Trunks is really the one that would be difficult to get without any alternatives. I understand that though because you're really getting two versions of him with so many accessories but it's quite difficult to come up with the money.

When a company refuses to gain more profits by supplying the demand and decides to make everything exclusive to a select, pleased, few it just boggles my mind on how that type of business ethnic is acceptable.I guess it's just called integrity. They said it'd be an exclusive figure and so it remains one. Integrity by alienation? Sure, why not. How virtuous.

I've never been one to care about exclusivity. They could make enough for the entire population to have 10 of them, and I 'd still be happy. Me neither. I definitely understand exclusivity but I couldn't care less about it and I feel it ruins specific lines, especially this line. I'm used to it with comic books, action figures, statues, and etc. Although, it's understandable in those lines because there's so many options. First print, variants, and etc. I'm not buying these figures hoping the value will rise so one day I can sell them or just to collect because it's rare, I'm buying these figures because they're high quality figures from Dragon Ball Z. When a company refuses to gain more profits by supplying the demand and decides to make everything exclusive to a select, pleased, few it just boggles my mind on how that type of business ethnic is acceptable.

I don't mind them not re-releasing figures that were supposed to be exclusive. Imagine buying something with part of the motivation being that you want a rare and exclusive figure, then it's re-released and thus drops the value of your figure. Not very cool. I say just work hard, sell a few pieces of your collection you don't want and buy the figure. It likely won't drop in value and at best will increase in value. That would be hard to imagine since none of my motivation to buy this line of figures is that I want a rare and exclusive figure. Save that strictly for the SDCC release. Part of my motivation to buy is because of the extremely high quality of the figures. There's both sides to the argument that are understandable.

Vegeta seems to very well be the highest demanded character at this moment. I feel Tamashii is shooting themselves in the foot by not re-releasing Super Saiyan Vegeta but DaTong seems pretty freaking happy to take all of those sales. Yeah, definitely. The Androids are going to be the most completed group in this line. Apparently theres all this bullsh*t about how Vegeta was released as a Web Exclusive and reissuing him takes away from the exclusiveness blah blah blah and the Japanese (again, apparently) take their exclusive stuff very serious? That what I've been told at least Yeah, any Web Exclusive will not be re-released unless it's an anime repaint to be an SDCC Exclusive. I understand the "importance" of the exclusive but when they have such a huge demand from their fan base it's upsetting. They can come out with a normal Vegeta in the Saiyan armor and then a Super Saiyan Vegeta in the World Tournament uniform and the original Super Saiyan Vegeta would still be considered "exclusive." Those who want to have a Super Saiyan Vegeta in Saiyan armor would have to buy an extra of both. (Which I would do, to be honest, and then some. Ha.)

I think with the announcement of Android 16, people started buying her like crazy. Well since they have the three androids, im hoping for a future gohan. He was my favorite 'form' of the character I'm honestly hoping Tamashii decides to release one movie character a year. There's a lot of characters/versions that I could see sell well, including Future Gohan.
