I actually just got Krillin a month ago, cost me $37 free shipping from amazon. It's strange though. Some days they have him for order, others they're selling him through another party. This line is just ridiculous when it comes to prices. I don't mind the prices I've had to pay but I wish I was with this line from the beginning. I would have had multiples of a lot of characters...but probably no display room anymore, ha. I feel the same way. I had the chance to buy a Vegeta and didn't get to the shop in time, someone else scooped him up. Sucked! That's why I just jumped on an Android 18 figure. I'll probably be picking up Krillin some time this next week. I wanna get him with Amazon Prime if possible. I think with the announcement of Android 16, people started buying her like crazy. I think so too. If they just released Android 18 with no 16 or 17 announced then sales would have been slow. I personally wouldn't be able to just own one Android.. the set is what makes it.

My mistake. I'm surprised Krillin wasn't a popular release, he's the next figure I plan on purchasing. Don't wait too long. I had to pull the trigger and get him right away because Amazon seems to go either up or down on having him. That's why I just jumped on an Android 18 figure. I'll probably be picking up Krillin some time this next week. I wanna get him with Amazon Prime if possible.

I don't know, Android 18 has been selling pretty well, it seems. I don't know if I'd say it's a less popular release. I suppose it's less popular if you compare it to the most popular figures in the series. The price has risen steadily since the release. I think the reason she's sold so well is because if you own one Android then you probably will want to own them all. I agree with you that including the Krillin accessories has helped, I think that was a clever move. I was referring to the Krillin release, being a less popular character..... But yes, of course it does help both ways to make consumers more eager to have both release due to the inclusion. My point was that they will not include an extra like that, unless it benefit their sales. My mistake. I'm surprised Krillin wasn't a popular release, he's the next figure I plan on purchasing.

That's a good idea. Although the reason they include the Krillin head with 18 is to make consumers more eager to buy a less popular recent release, and Tamashii don't really have a reason to make consumers buy a SSJ Goku.

Must be an issue with the mold. Perhaps some debris got into the mold and affected several figures.. Sorry guys. Mine should be here next week, lets hope it looks better. I'll report back when it arrives.

I just mid way more than what I wanted to. My biggest hope is that I can sell the figures I don't want to reimburse myself for some of the cost. I really only want the SBCs from the auction. Everything else will go right up for re-sale..

But don't worry I have a solution. If you did not preorder Broly and you wish to do so head on over to ToyzInTheBox.com! They still have their Broly discounted for only $59.99. BUT WAIT! I found a coupon code as well!

It cracks me up when I'm selling something at auction and it goes above the price of 'buy it now' listings. Some times people get caught up in the auctions and feel like they're competing. That's me right there... "Ok I'm only gonna bid once more. Ok once more. Alright this it the last time I'm bidding. Ok this is for sure THE LAST TIME. NO I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM I SWEAR!" Hahaha, I'm literally doing this right now with an auction I'm bidding on. I want only half the figures in the auction, but it's worth it.. I think..

For those that don't have 18 yet or want another one go on barnes & noble. Then make a account join the B&N kids club and you will receive a coupon for 30% off a kids book or toy. Mine came out to $27.96 before taxes after taxes $30.34 and free shipping. It did take a day for me to get the coupon. Going to go do this right now. Not waiting for the cost of Android 18 to rise any higher..

Whether or not they're "good" or not is up to how much you enjoy them, I'd say. Your Krillin on the bottom, third from right, is part of Irwin's Super Energy Blasters series. He's missing his energy blast, so that's a bit of a bummer, but the figure is still cool. What kind of collecting are you hoping to do? Mint in box? Loose figures? Little of both?

Well according to the exchange rate posted above, the shop the OP visited was selling Vegeta for just under $250. So even if it is $200, that's still substantially cheaper. I also just saw the same figure on Amazon for $185. I was too lazy to do the exchange rate. Yeah, there's some buy it nows for that price on the Bay, but of course some crazy people pay more for an auction......

Wow, very expensive there. You can get that Vegeta figure for much cheaper on Amazon or eBay.. Regular Vegeta has hit $200 on EBay.
