I have a feeling that the cars, bikes etc in Kamen Rider would be more central to the show than the Saiyan Pods and stuff are in DBZ. That is just a guess though, I'm no KM expert.

Wave You're right. Almost, if not every Kamen Rider has their own mode of transportation (which are usually bikes) and are used far more often than we see Space Pods in Dragon Ball.

I think that if they can justify making those huge KR cars, they shouldn't have a problem producing Battle Pods for the DBZ franchise market. I know I would buy a couple. It is a very iconic craft to the universe, and would be perfect to tie up to character releases such as Raditz\Nappa\Namek Vegeta\Bardock.

The Saiyan pod from Irwin goes for about $150 on Ebay. I need that for my Vegeta.
What about Frieza's spaceship. Tamashii displayed that a few years ago. Made me wonder if they were going in that direction. I wonder what the cost would be.

You could get the Taki time machine, it goes for about 120-160. The Freeza Force spaceship from Banpresto is really nice and isn't too pricey, it display best with Gashapons.

I got a new one for $190 shipped from Buyee not too long ago actually. All the used ones I've seen are pretty bad shape so I just decided to go with a new one. The one you posted isn't a bad price at all but it is pretty used, so for me personally I wouldn't go for it. The ones on Amazon and eBay are crazy expensive even used so that's why I was surprised at the price.
Not too many people know about Buyee surprisingly. It's a great spot to get expensive things for A LOT cheaper.

It's a great spot to get expensive things for A LOT cheaper. It look like it's in perfect shape, and a great price. 190$ is rather on the high side of the spectrum for this item even if it's sealed IMO. I the past,I used to get a lot of my Gashapon scale stuff through japanese middle mans, which could have find for me any item I would ask for, in japanese collectible stores, online shops etc. otherwise could have cost even triple the price and more with the ebay vendors etc. The inflation on some collectibles outside the japanese market can be really crazy. But I wouldn't excepted otherwise given the huge industry and popularity that the franchise carry in japan. |

TBH I really wouldn't care for any accessories such as space pods and time machines (from tamashii). Especially if it'll delay or push back the figures release date. The only way I'd buy one is if they included a figure in the set

I wouldn't mind them. The 4th quarter of this year is going to be insane just with S.H. Figuarts. They can add another character category of spaceships and etc. to test the market.

Guys I need some advice. I just got around $120 for graduation money and I'm wondering should I save or or shoul I buy a frieza? I really want frieza (my favorite character) but like someone else said (I forgot who) it's up to us as collectors to decide the value and honestly I think that $100 is waaaay to much for a freakin toy. Maybe the highest I would go is $70. Any suggestions on what I should do

Any suggestions on what I should do Coming from a more adult perspective: If you don't have a substantial amount of money in your savings then you should probably put it in your savings account and forget about it. I'm nearly 30 and if theres one thing I wished I did when I was younger its save money. In my situation and age I don't spend money on figures unless all my bills are paid and my savings has constant money being put into it. |
