It looks like some of the original DBZ/Kai figures (Androids, Cell, Trunks) are getting re-released in blind box form. That's kind of cool because I'm missing some and don't want to pay an arm and a leg, but kind of sucks because I like the boxes and hate being stuck with the generic ugly blind box. That would be cool, but I'd so much prefer the surprise of him in Saiyan Saga appearance. The last few WCF sets haven't made a lot of sense, so I would not be surprised if this set didn't make sense either. Then again, I haven't watched Super in Japanese, so I have no idea if Korin and Yajirobe have actually appeared in the series and strangely look like they haven't aged a day since DB. The boxes say Super. I think the last two spots in most of the Super sets go to missing DBZ characters from the original releases; Supreme Kai and Kibito, Yajirobe and Korin, Baba and Grandpa Gohan, Future Gohan and Trunks, etc. That being said, there already was a Saiyan Saga Yamcha so it could go either way. Irritatingly, Barnes and Noble seems to ONLY order the Gokus from the new sets (Battle of Saiyans Vol 3 and forward.) |

Haven't heard about that blind boxes, but sounds cool for people missing old figures, can be a pain to find them at a reasonable price. I love they releasing missing chars from Z in the new super sets, hopefully one day we'll get Janenba, Cell jr., Bojack, etc.. (dreaming awake) |

(dreaming awake) I think it's an American-only/Funimation release (not Japanese); the listings have been showing up on sites like bigbadtoystore. There's an all Goku set scheduled for November (just what we needed more of) and then the Cell Saga set in January. I just started seeing the Naruto set in blind boxes at Hop Topic this month too. I'm sure we will get those characters eventually! They are great about keeping track of who is missing; even the last spots in the recent Frieza sets went to Blueberry and Raspberry which was awesome. Personally, I'm hoping for all the minor characters from the World Tournament (Spopovich, Yamu, Pintar, Jewel, Killa, etc) and Babidi (Pui Pui, Yakon, Babidi, Bibidi) sagas. More classic movie characters would be welcome too. |

Ohh I see, for a moment I thought Banpresto was releasing a new set for Cell saga heheh that would be awesome, if you think about it last DBZ WCF set was Androids and 1st form Cell, so would have sense to continue from there; I'd like to see figures like Goku in saiyan armor, cell 2nd form, cell jr, long haired trunks, etc.. Sounds nice, some characters from those sets are hard to get, like C-16 |

It was sold for $230-ish if I recall correctly. The Janemba that I won was also made by kanakun. He canceled my winning bids twice in the past I don't know why.  ) Regarding GT, I doubt Banpresto will be making characters from GT due to licensing and copyrights. GT is not Toriyama's work after all. But it'll be nice if we could have SSJ4 Goku and Vegeta and villains from GT such as Omega Shenron, Baby, Golden Great Ape etc. |

I've been checking, anyways it's so expensive, previous sets can be found for 6000-7000 yen (no shipment included) but this one can't find it for less than 9000 yen. If you split the price is 1500 yen each figure (the price of the MegaWCF lol) |

If you split the price is 1500 yen each figure (the price of the MegaWCF lol) I saw a few for less than 9,000 yen. I don't know whether we can posts links from another website here or not and I don't check here that often, shoot me a message at facebook.com/huy.k.le I can send them to you. |
