is it true that Bluefin rerelease figures whenever there's a new country acquired a licensed store? Not exactly. From what I understand, SS Goku and Piccolo were rereleased specifically for the new (back then) European market/distributing system, but US distributors got them too. Timone knows this stuff really well since he has been collecting the figures since practically the beginning. I see, thanks for clearing that up. i thought Bluefin already found a loop hole to start re-distributing the early figures.

Timone knows this stuff really well since he has been collecting the figures since practically the beginning. Piccolo and SSJ Goku were a general rerelease of the entire production line, it was distributed to all of the Tamashii markets around the world\JP. It is unrelated to the re-stock of the Figuarts Zero SSJ Goku in EU\JP. There as well beforehand a JP Premium Bandai shop restock of several of the Figuarts. They title it as "secondary lottery sales" in 2014 which might be some sort of re-stock from stock leftovers or something of that sort. Piccolo and SSJ Goku are different in sense that an actual new production line was introduced to the market. They are not making a new production line of those exclusives that were restocked.

From what people have been saying here, the only one they might be able to rerelease is SS Gohan. I want a Trunks. I'm new to the Sh Figuarts brand. I did get a hold of a Ssj Gohan for $200. With this rerelease I am assuming the value would go down along with every other original release, right?

Yeah there were a few Gohans selling for 40$+15$ shipping on ebay earlier. But I say don't sale it, it's a rare 'first edition'!

Like M5 said, it's the first edition so that in itself is exclusive. Plus, in Japan first editions don't lose value, just the other day I saw piccolo sell for $100.

Thanks for the reply, I have six dbz Figuarts. I enjoy having them, I just started collecting this year. I've never collected anything else before so, I was afraid I spent all that money for nothing. Is there any way on proving my figure is first edition? If I am able to sell it...

I hope that BBTS will offer to sell all DBZ figuarts reissue in the future :-) Been waiting for the SSJ Gohan to be posted again for quite sometime now :-)
