*cough* probably wouldn’t happen if he wasn’t an exclusive*cough* People gotta get over that too hahah It is what it is man There’s plenty of places to preorder these online exclusives for retail before hand so if you didn’t pre-order it in time you shouldn’t be surprised when you miss out nor should you be complaining (unless you had a pre-order canceled hahahah) Well I did have it cancelled, so can I keep complaining? I would have bought it at $80-100, by the time it happened they were in the $120+ range, which is crap. I'm still hoping to get one (or two, really) from BBTS for $90, but I keep missing it by seconds apparently. Also, I'm wondering if bluefin will have any ay their booth at Anime Expo, so I'd at least like to hold out until then. Sometimes they don't charge full-blown scalper prices even if they are still inflated.

I keep missing Black and it's pissing me off so much more than if they were just all gone and I didn't have one. I saw it in stock AGAIN, added to cart immediately, logged in to check out and 15 seconds later it's already gone. How frickin fast do I need to be??? I don't need to keep reliving this crap over and over and still not get one.

if you guys collect shf naruto series... then you will be more stressed of their exclusive releases ... haha I do but I don't know that there's much to stress about there, Tamashii seem to have just given up on the line completely :/ Unlike Black, there weren't any problem figures in that line at all despite most of them being exclusives. Everything was available long after release. And being comfortable NOT pre-ordering (a mistake I will no longer make with anything I definitely want) is what screwed me and most others with Black. I sure hope the Naruto line isn't dead seeing as there are still so many unexplored options and the line was starting to look great. If Figuarts Zero Dragonball re-emerges every so often, I don't see why SHF Naruto can't.

No ! Again Trunks ? Ginyu, Reecom, Guldo, Barta, Jeece, Doria, Zarbon, Raditz, Mr satan, Hit, Jiren, Goku UI, Zamasu, Toppo, Kid Boo, Janemba, Android 13, Bojack, Tapion, Taopaipai, Coola, Gogeta and more............ I see Goku UI and Zamasu on Tamashii’s radar. Really surprised we haven’t seen a Hit prototype yet. I really doubt we will get anyone else on your list though. Maybe Kid Buu? He’d probably be scaled with Gotenks though. I'd think Raditz and Cooler are possible, maybe probable, too.

Will it be rare like Vegito and Gogeta? I never got those because I didn't realize they would be so limited and waited for them to show up in stores like all of the older ones used to.

Good to see the line is still alive. Broly looks good, and I'm still hoping for Raditz and Bardock someday.

God damn it, I missed it again. Did BBTS actually have a lot of them? Or just 1 or 2? I did see it "in stock" once about a week ago but couldn't actually buy it.

its not tickets to the tour per se. It's tickets to whatever con the tour is visiting, such as SDCC. Which is another reason I am not touching his, because SDCC is the closest to me and SDCC is one of the biggest cons in the country, if not the biggest, and I would hate myself. Lol i figured that part out... what I am asking is how do I get tickets to these cons? like for example: i want to go to the Washington D.C. con, how do I got about getting tickets for that? You don't get tickets to conventions, you get badges. Main difference being that the badges have your name on them and can't be resold. So if the con is already sold out (SDCC does immediately and went on sale before they even announced the Dragonball Tour), you're really more or less out of luck. Looks like today is the last day to register for DC if you want them to mail your badge instead of wait in line at the con to pick it up. www.otakon.com/register/

We need the rest of Cell/Cell Games up through the Babidi saga before all of this Heroes game stuff. It's starting to look like we're never going to get those characters.

Yes, I have all of them that have been released so far (not a completionist either, but the only skip-able one in my opinion is the first Sage Naruto), and multiples of several. Jiraiya is one of my favorite figures yet! They're the best looking Naruto figures out there; some of the Tsume statue ones are flimsy as heck and several of them look more like fan-art than the official designs. The Figuarts line has gotten really good recently, but the lack of upcoming releases from this point forward is worrisome. There are still so many no-brainer characters for them to add... Sakura, Shikamaru, Obito, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Hinata. Probably someone to go with Boruto also. They're less likely, but I'd love to see an Asuma or Neji, maybe Hidan and Kakuzu too. Hmm ... so, do you think that the only skip-able is the first Sage Naruto? I'm a bit lost here! Is this one the first one (I call it V1) or the second (I call it V2)? Comparing the Naruto V1 (first one) with the V2 (Sennin), I see some differences in the painting (aesthetics) and the presence of the Razen-Shuriken in the second! Other than that, it doesn't seems to have much to care about having one or another! However, I can't say for sure, since I have the V1, but not the V2! Wanting to get the Naruto Sage (V3), and use my V1 to make a "pseudo-clone" (as their painting isn't so close)! kkkkkkk Ah! Jiraiya is one of the best, indeed! I like most him and Kakashi! Articulation, aesthetics, the extras... two awesome figures! Well... here in Brazil the figures (in general) are a bit expensive, and having the various releases is already a bit complicated, imagine having several of the same model... it's almost impractical... unfortunately! I like that they isn't releasing so many figures right now, as the DragonBall line is getting pretty consistent releases in the last two years! But, yes... the lack of upcoming Naruto's releases is really worrisome. And, yes... there is A LOT of awesome characters they seem to be neglecting and, unless the line isn't going so fine, losting some money! The V2 is the one I'd skip. The shuriken is cool, no doubt, but the figure itself is inferior to V3 in my opinion. If I'm going to display Naruto with the frog eyes that V2 and most of the V3 heads have, I'd want him to have the long jacket too. I guess it's just a matter of if you'd rather have the jacket or the shuriken.

Thanks to the two of you who mentioned toydojo; I put in an order for Majin Vegeta there. Also finally got one of the waves of Frieza on BBTS.
Also, anyone who wants Buu on BBTS should get their orders in asap; Buu is running low there now.

Well ... doing a "resuscitation magic" on the topic here (hope it isn't a problem at all)!! If compared to DragonBall, the Naruto line is going pretty slow!! There were only three releases in 2017 (Rock Lee, Gaara and Madara), and only three recent releases (Jiraiya, Boruto and Naruto Sage) ´til now. After that, there is no other figures on "standby", except a preview of Sakura that appeared in some event a while ago! I started my collection recently, taking DragonBall and Naruto at the same time. I'm not a completist, but since in the line of Naruto there were far fewer characters, I'm almost there (still needing to get Madara and Naruto Sage - I didn't get Naruto Sennin or Sasuke Battle, as they are only V2, a bit well made, OK, but almost nothing more than that). Has anyone here been following the line yet, and are you waiting for new releases? Yes, I have all of them that have been released so far (not a completionist either, but the only skip-able one in my opinion is the first Sage Naruto), and multiples of several. Jiraiya is one of my favorite figures yet! They're the best looking Naruto figures out there; some of the Tsume statue ones are flimsy as heck and several of them look more like fan-art than the official designs.

If anyone is still look to get the Resurrection Frieza he’s currently available for pre order again on BBTS. He's in and out of pre-order status a lot. Has been happening for about 2 weeks or so. The next Goku figure set to release in July is currently sold out at BBTS. That's... incredibly surprising. For any one looking to get their hands on Majin Vegeta, Toy Dojo (https://www.toydojo.com/s-h-figuarts-dragonball-z-majin-vegeta-tamashii-nations/) apparently still has him available for pre-order. This is a response I got when I contacted them to find out. "Thank you for contacting us. We have a good amount of figures on order and we have a very good relationship with our distributor. We also are very conservative with our numbers so we try to plan for the event of a cut by the distributor. So far we have filled all our preorders by 100% We don't expect Majin Vegeta to be any different and we should be able to fulfill all orders. Because of the limited availability of the Majin Vegeta we have limited orders to 2 per person and may drop that to 1 if we start running low. Please let us know if you have any problems." Has anyone ordered from this Toy Dojo before, and did they do a good job? I only ever order from BBTS but I never bothered with pre-orders before, which apparently is no longer going to work.

Well it would be nice for those of us in California if they'd do Anime Expo for the exclusives as well as or instead of Comic Con. Especially considering the fact that Dragonball is anime and Comic Con is full of irrelevant junk and near impossible to gain access to.

I'm not sure we needed a third version of the same Broly, but the others are long gone so it can't hurt.
What is the Dragon Ball Tour though? Will people actually be able to access it and get the figures? Or is it just part of the already sold out and overcrowded Comic Con and another excuse for more scalped $200 figures.
