As has been said earlier in this thread, only Piccolo, SSJ Goku, and Gohan were normal releases. Everything else after that are "Web Exclusives" which means in Japan they are limited to Tamashii's online store. In other regions though thanks to Bluefin Distribution they are sold in-stores. Tamashii values their collector market. If they market something as an "exclusive" they are going to keep it exclusive. It has always been said that these figures are produced in a limited run. To Tamashii, if they reissue what was a web exclusive in Japan, even though they'd be sure to make money from the high overseas demand for it, they would lose integrity in the eyes of collectors as items that people could have paid good money for would be devalued. In the end you just have to recognize that Tamashii thinks of their hardcore domestic market first and foremost. They ARE a Japanese company after all. Bluefin can only haggle so much out of them. I do think that Gohan should get a rerelease sometime though because he was a normal release. Thanks for clearing this up. I didn't know that at all. My base form You is probably going to be worth something one day but if there's any that I never sell, id never sell him because j bought him first. Lets keep our fingers crosses for that Gihan rerelease. This thread is pretty pointless now, isn't it?. It should just be "Request to rerelease Gohan...". But that saiyan saga vegeta, tho.. :-(

Alright, alright, damn I didn't mean for this to turn into a flame war. We clearly have different opinions. When I made this thread, I didn't know these were exclusives, so yeah it makes since that they are now rare. But at the same time, yeah some of us got dicked in the eye here by other people buying like five of them at once. Honestly, the one I want rereleased IS infact Gohan. I WANT THAT GOHAN FIGURE SO MUCH. Maybe one day we can get lucky and find a good eBay deal on a out-of-package Trunks or Vegeta. Supersaiyansanchez is selling a gohan in the bst section here on the forums right now. Buy him before I do. Hold on there cowboy I get paid Friday. However I'm currently in a bid battle on eBay for Cell, and if the other guy bids more than I can afford them then, well, I hope he enjoys his new Cell.

I've found a lot of good deals on eBay. Free shipping sometimes, and someone is almost always selling a good figure that has been taken out of the box for photo purposes and then put back in the box, and if you are lucky you bid like 5 dollars on that figure and its almost mint condition.

I like to put Super Buu on the same level as Frieza and Cell, as far as the three main Z villains go. He has a personality. Kid Buu has none, like Broly...yet he's also a fan-favorite unfortunately. Oh, yeah don't get me wrong Super Gohan Buu is my favorite form and I've argued with so many people on which buu is stronger (gohan Buu is the strongest, gaiz). But Kid Buu is the more popular one, it seems. So it wouldn't surprise me if they chose him over the others.

I can't imagine them not making Super Buu when he was in so many episodes. Kid Buu is almost certainly on the way I would guess. Still, I personally don't care at all, because there's at least 20 characters I'd rather have instead of any Buu I'm thinking they are probably only planning on one Buu for now, so that would be the most iconic version of him which in my opinion is kid buy. But if they are still planning on releasing that dope ass Vegeto then we would need a super gohan buu. And wed need a fat buu. Just gotta pick our favorite version of buu I guess.

I just want Trunks and SS Vegeta o bad!! I want to buy two of each (one with normal head, and one with SS head) and with this prices I cant buy even one!! Yeah your best bet is that Chinese bootleg Vegeta for 25 bucks, then use putty to fix the joints. Maybe they'll be real cool and just go ahead and give us a buu saga Vegeta with 3 heads. Black hair, super saiyan, and majin. Maybe they'll be even cooler and give us a cell games trunks with his long purple hair for one head and ssj for another.

Yeah I have the bootleg Vegeta. His joints are wobbly and there is a weird space under his chin so unless he is looking down he looks a lil awkward. Nothing that some poster putty wont fix I suppose.

That's a very good point, some of us just straight up missed out unless we pay the 200 bucks and then, hell, Trunks is staying in his box so no posing. That's why at this point, one can only hope we will get, maybe a Cell Games Trunks... And maybe if we want a gohan we just have to wait for kid gohan or adult. Also, special thanks to Windows Phone for misspelling the word "cheaper" in the poll :-\ I think @m5jagdragonpanzeriv was right when he said we will see a re-release of Gohan. Just gonna take a little while longer, maybe some time next year even. Trunks and Vegeta I'm less optimistic about a re-release. Okay, so here's a question. What about the newly releases ones? Kuririn, 18, Base Goku. What about the upcoming 17, 16, and Broly? Are any of them exclusive? Will they be worth this much in the future?

Anything that's released as an exclusive shouldn't be re-released. I feel pretty firmly about that. Bandai would be showing a lack of integrity by re-releasing something they said was supposed to be an exclusive if they had. Any other figures I wouldnt mind seeing re-released but I'd very much prefer they were re-released in limited quantities, that way the value of the figures doesn't go down too much. Some times "you gotta pay to play". That's a very good point, some of us just straight up missed out unless we pay the 200 bucks and then, hell, Trunks is staying in his box so no posing. That's why at this point, one can only hope we will get, maybe a Cell Games Trunks... And maybe if we want a gohan we just have to wait for kid gohan or adult. Also, special thanks to Windows Phone for misspelling the word "cheaper" in the poll :-\

Many of these S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball Z figures have become quite expensive, some of them exceeding 200 dollars. Some of us, like myself, didn't even know these awesome figures existed until recently, and we have missed out on some of our favorite characters when they were released at 45 dollars a piece. While it is understandable why these figures increase in value so quickly, I feel that we deserve another chance at collecting them. Many of us like to buy two of each. One to take out of the box to pose, and one to keep in the box for this exact reason - the increase in value. However at this point, Trunks and Gohan are above 200, with Ssj Vegeta, Scouter Vegeta, Cell, and Frieza not far behind. Piccolo and Ssj Goku were re released at a more reasonable price. This is a request to Bandai to do the same for the figures that are already over 100 dollars. Please consider our request for 2015.
