So I just got an email from Bandai Premium and they said that SSB Vegito and Zamasu are both delayed until middle of December. That sucks Fantastic. Can somebody surprise me with this garbage service? Can they surprise anyone at this point with just how lackluster they are? Wanna bet there's going to be some QC problems on the U.S. release of Vegetto that wasn't on the JP version? Just the final nail in the "Premium" Coffin.

Was hoping DF would start work on a Cui/Kiwi so I can have him scrap with Bejiita

Paid for these in like April and Vegito is out in Japan already too. It’s wack

It's bad enough these toys cost so damn much and it's hard financially to keep up with the frequent releases (or at least for me it's difficult to justify spending so much so often on toys), but now we get a last minute delay of toys being shipped 1 month later. Thanks Bandai. They should give us a freaking discount, credit, or a coupon for this last minute delay if they weren't greedy. That might make up for their joke of a Black Friday sale. Early this past summer, I was a bit on the fence about paying for both SSB Vegito and Zamasu (particularly after getting UI Goku, and Androids 17 and 18), but I did anyway because there isn't an entertainment franchise I adore more than Dragon Ball and I wanted to round out my DBS Future Trunks saga collection. Now I find out this lovely website, P-Bandai, can't even deliver their products when they say they will despite having so many months in advance to prepare copies for shipment based on the pre-order volume.
I miss the days when I could pre-order from non-Premium Bandai websites and not get a significant price increase from the original retail price for either a pre-order or a new toy (ones that were out for months of course were probably more expensive) from said 3rd party websites. P-Bandai pressures us to pre-order as early as possible, and pay all up front. If we don't, Big Bad Toy Store, etc. might have the toys available, but for $30-40 more than P-Bandai. I shouldn't see Recoome of all characters going for $115 on BBTS right now to pre-order and Raditz for $110 to pre-order (also on BBTS.) They aren't even out yet FFS and the aforementioned characters are months away from being released with such a huge markup for their prices.
I haven't even mention the bad situation fans outside of the US are in due to P-Bandai.
So, there was my kind of long rant. I obviously felt like venting a bit.

Vegito and Zamasu were the first figures I ever ordered from premium Bandai and the first figures I’ve ever actually preordered outright, well I forget if I ordered event 18 (first shipment so I have her) before them but that was another whole fiasco. Looking back Vegito was more an impulse buy while I was getting Zamasu and, this has really made me start to regret it honestly. With how much these are waiting months for a delay almost right before of the end of the month just, sucks and makes me glad I ended up not going for any of the others that have been on there (though I did preorder the Scarlett Witch they had up so that scares me when that’ll get delayed till lol)
Rambling but, they could have said something about this earlier if the couldn’t make the ship date.
The fact Hit, and if they’re made Caulifla and Kale are probably going to be on this service scares me I don’t want to do it again and as ^ mentioned BBTS and other sites charging prices over $100 for what are essentially preorders of preorders does not make me want to go that route whatsoever

Who do you think is next? Burter and Guldo or Bulma? After these two, will we be back to Cell arc? I hope tamashii shows a 2.0 Krillin asap. Lunch will come before Bulma iguess, because she was revealed much before. And i also think she is next because they seem to release one Namek DB figure every two month:
Jeece NDB Bardock Reecom NDB Raditz Frieza NDB So to me, this will be Lunch and then finaly Burta.

It sucks that they delayed these items on P-Bandai. On the bright side, it's not like in Brazil.
On the 'national lot', which would be the equivalent to P-Bandai in US, Ginyu will be available only next month. He was released on July.
Even worse, Bulma Adventure Begins (released on november 2019) lot is stucked at customs process. More than one year!

They would likely want to drop the Ginyu Force as close to one another as possible to keep the momentum going. So I just got an email from Bandai Premium and they said that SSB Vegito and Zamasu are both delayed until middle of December. That sucks This is a bummer, but with COVID in mind, not really surprising. I do think they should refund the shipping as an apology to buyers. It's nuts that they're not doing free shipping and charge $10 like nearly every single other online store does, particularly with how much money we're throwing at them. $10 a pop would be a nice apology.

I am not a happy camper.
Bought Ginyu from a Japanese seller. Carrier delivered today but charged me import fees which I was willing to pay fine. jerk won't take cash (horse's ass pandemic...) only card.
So now I'm stuck here, 80 CAN down the crapper, no Ginyu, just raw emotions.
Anyone have suggestions?

If Nit Then I Might Recommend Looking Somewhere Else. I’ll Bet That There Might Be Some Deals For FIguarts On Black Friday.!

Paying online by card has been the only option given to me for years. I do hate customs charges though, especially right now. I preordered a My Hero Academia figma back in February, when it became in stock they told me my shipping method was no longer supported so had to get a full refund then pay more money for different shipping. Then Royal Mail decide to charge about £10 more than normal for customs. Ridiculous.

Do you not have a card? 🤔 Usually if you have a tracking number and actively track it they let you know it has import fees and you can pay online before it gets to you. Call the delivery company up and see if there's anyway you can do it online? I've had a guy come to the door with a package and tell me there and then that there was import fees to pay, but i didn't have cash so he just gave me the package and told me to pay online. Very trusting delivery driver i guess. 😂
