I can't find them anywhere, and like I said on the DBF Facebook: no Target in my city has them and (at least) the one I live near, has no future plans to order them. So I ordered them on Amazon a couple days ago and just checked the status. Are they serious?   |

Holy crap, Amazon has slow delivery!
I'm proud to be an eBay guy, even with all the crap being said about Amazon.

Toywiz has the worst prices of any store and always has for as long as I've known about them (nearly 10 years). Always avoid Toywiz whenever possible. It's cheaper to buy those figures from some scalper on ebay who bought all the ones at their Target and decided to resell them. I'm just going to have to wait on the Amazon ones I guess. As long as they actually come... I'm ok with the stupid amount of time. Sort of. |

Bandai America supplied this image. These are the stores that carry these products in the United States and the standard retail price of them. Obviously, some stores mark up the price a bit. But this doesn't solve the difficulty that collectors in the US are having, while trying to find the Dragon Ball Evolve figures in their local stores. It seems like very few Target and Walmart stores carry the figures.  |

Well guys, I won a Bandai America contest on Facebook, that was supposed to just be 1 figure (1 Dragon Stars figure) I thought, and I asked if it would be possible for me to have Dragonball Evolve SSB Vegeta instead. Well... I never expected they would send me all 3 from the set!!  You guys all know (at this point) that I haven't been able to find these anywhere locally. No Targets have them, and every time I've called or gone to a Gamestop, it's been a waste of time and gas. And then buying them on Amazon worked out terribly... it still says they won't arrive until November or December... and the seller is Amazon itself...  With that said... I can't believe I have them now. And... they are awesome! Here's a video review I made. You can watch the youtube version below, or the Facebook version here. Or here. And here's a bunch of pics which you can also see on our Facebook here. I'll probably put them on our Instagram later too.                    Review: I'd say the Vegeta is the best of the bunch. You can do some really fun poses with him and his articulation works the way it should. His biggest flaw is that he is pretty tall for Vegeta, especially since the Goku from this line isn't that much bigger than him. A minor flaw is that they put his knee cap on his shin instead of his thigh (like Broly's) and so when you bend his knee, it looks funny. The Goku is the second best to me. His shoulder articulation has these sleeve things to cover up the arm peg, but they don't cover as well as Vegeta's do. It's tricky to pose his arms in a way that the cups don't look odd. One major downside is that his thigh sculpt completely prevents his legs from kicking forward. He can only kick to the side, which makes making the perfect Kamehameha pose impossible. I question whether dremeling the hips smooth would give enough clearance to have the legs be able to kick forward. He can do a nice Kamehameha pose with his arms, but the legs can't be positioned in a V formation since they won't kick forward. The Broly is very small, but he might be interesting for Shodo Neo and Hybrid collectors. He is also a great size for making into Frieza 100% or buff Master Roshi for 5 inch scale. Overall, these are a fantastic deal for the low price of $10 each (if you can actually find them) and I highly recommend them. I hope that they will make more figures in this line in the future. Particularly Universe 6 characters. |

That's really cool of Bandai to send you the full set and I'm glad you're liking em. Those are also some really great pictures. To get Goku's legs to kick forward I had to apply a good amount of force, their kind of just stuck, it threw me off at first as well

Wow, I've never heard of a toy manufacturer who does that, except to pro reviewers and stuff to help promote them. Great, Branjita! You're in luck!  |

Just went to F.Y.E. and they have the Evolve figures there for $14.99. Just a heads up.
