Android 17 is still available at this moment, Goku and 18 are sold out. I managed to get all three because I added them to the cart a few minutes before 12, did they really sell out after three minutes?

They added more around 12.30 apparently. Looks like you're right and 17 is still available but 18 and Goku have sold out again

I have now received all of my Exclusives and I’ve got to say unreal! The androids look leagues better then the originals and the new UI Goku could be my favorite Goku figure or close to it. The face is so much more accurate now compared to the Silver Hair UI version. They really knocked it out of the park!!!

I am so happy for you guys. I, crisis, have yet to acquire the exclusives. I have the original Androids so I don’t think I’m going to jump on these. There is still a possibility that Tamashii reissues Ultra Stink Goku at a later point in time, just like they did with Chibi Goku -blue gi edition- which was originally an exclusive-only as well
It will be just another “gotcha!” move by Tamashii, which they have done before so they will probably do it again

I already paid a lot for the exclusive Zamasu, but I wont do the same for another Goku. |

Even if we don't see a regular release for "sign", they might jump on the current Namek wave and just use the torso for a Namek Goku..potentially with a mini spirit bomb effect. Definitely don't think we've seen the last of the body mold anyway. |

We could also possibly see Ultra Instinct Sign Goku with his Galactic Patrol Gi outfit later on considering Sign is a lot more common in the current Moro arc.  |

Yeah, i definitely think we'll see sign from the Moro arc when it's animated.
I'll be punching the pre-order button when Goat boi Moro is announced.

A lot of people are complaining about the shipments made by P-Bandai regarding the exclusives.
They don't have any protection, just the brown shipper box. A big part of the boxes is being damaged.
One guy sent them an e-mail... and they said basically that they'll only do something if the figure itself is damaged, like the box isn't part of the product lol.
How can they be so amateur? When you work in a market that involves collecting, the box does matter a lot.

But that's completely standard for P-Bandai. I order many figures from P-Bandai Japan and they always just come in the brown shipper box, that's what they are made for. I understand it sucks but it is how it is.

I understand it sucks but it is how it is. It shouldn't be like this... I know the shipper box is made for this, but it's just a simple box with no extra protection you know? there's no space between the boxes, if the shipper gets damaged, the product's box will get damaged too. In Brazil we don't have a P-Bandai, but we do have an official Tamashii store (expensive prices, but still), and they add a lot of protection, one of the best I've seen since I started collecting. |

Yeah I know, it really sucks but they are not willing to improve. They even state in Japan that damaged boxes are no reason to return the product if the figure is not damaged.

When you work in a market that involves collecting, the box does matter a lot. When I thought about pre-ordering Kid Gohan last week, I stopped when I saw that shipping was $10. You'd think for $10, they'd at least pack their exclusives with a little bit of padding. |

Gokubr is right. It shouldn't be this way. Tamashii are well aware that the box being damaged decreases the value of the figure. It's a collectors line of action figures, so they really should be taking care to protect the boxes as well as the figure. It's ridiculous when companies like AmiAmi put way more care into protecting the boxes. They throw bubble wrap and padding paper into the box like it's a party.
I'm assuming if you order more than one figure from the premium store they ship it in a more protected box, or do they just ship the figures out separately in their shippers?
