Amiami crashed for me when I was trying to pre-order him  , I guess I'm going to have to pay around 80$ instead of 45$ You can simply wait and buy it from an American retailer and pay $40. You think the retail price will be that low on American retailers? P.S. - I'm in Canada |

I wouldn't worry too much. This is sort of a unique situation and I think you're seeing limited quantities at JAPANESE online stores of Warrior awakened Goku for one sole reason - BANDAI/TAMASHII wants this figure, the first "regular" DBZ Figuarts release in years, to primarily sell at brick 'n mortar retail stores IN JAPAN.
It doesn't "help" the line any if you distribute LOTS of your quantities to web stores when you're trying to get product BACK into actual, physical retail stores. Bandai/Tamashii wants this figure AND DRAGON BALL back on store shelves. Bandai/Tamashii is purposely holding back stock from online stores in order to fill retail orders and space. We will however, see this figure online with the Western online stores because of how we receive imports from Bluefin and other distributors. Considering the attention this figure is getting...even to the point where Tamashii gave it its own web-page and a video. Low stock would be a foolish business decision. A very good analysis Bardoon. I agree that it makes sense to short-stock the item so that it sells more in store. A big example of this is the current amiibo craze in America, although the situation is slightly different in terms of supply, allowing limited pre-orders online make a lot more people go into the store on launch, which not only means their stock will sell instantly, but people may buy other things in store since they are there, which motivates Brick-and-Mortar stores to carry their items. EDIT: Sorry for the double post |

I think I'm gonna get two of these. I was thinking I could use the base Goku head that comes with SSGSS Goku and pop it on one of these

That's one bad thing about the half-shirt, he's never out of Super Saiyan in that appearance. With full-shirt you can represent before turning Super Saiyan and with no shirt you can represent him leaving, but in-between he stayed SS the whole time.

He's up on BBTS for pre-order. Though only can locate him through his picture on the front page right now. Either way, got my order in!

Going to be a loooong wait! I suppose if you're lucky to get one from Japan beforehand then you'll have a step up!
The mass quantities of this figure are aimed at two places: Japanese retail stores and the International Market.
I wouldn't be surprised if this figure becomes the "common re-release" instead of SSJ Goku v1.

I think it'll be the "common re-release", so everyone, no matter when they start collecting the line, could have at least that Goku. |

this figure will be a success so I hope Bandai release more BD figures like Majin saga Vegeta with a majin face option.
