You know, I had an overly long and sarcastic response to your complaints, but I don't feel like starting anything so ill just get straight to my point:
You're going through what every fandom ever goes through. The inevitable "I hate that my hobby/interest is becoming popular!" Phase.
That's it. If it makes you feel better, some of the moderators actually advertise the site on other boards, so there's a partial explanation as to why there's more new users coming around.
-------------------------------------------
On topic, SDCC is only five days away, so we should all be excited about getting to see the upcoming releases on display. Hopefully we'll get some info about Super Buu. Really want to know if they're separate releases You think Dragon Ball fandom is just now getting popular? Where have you been the last ten years? |

I will freely admit to being guilty of this. I have the site linked in a few signatures I use on other forums that advertise to come visit the site for any info and needs. As for the thing about discussions in this topic, it was meant to serve the purpose of discussion figures we had seen shown off who had yet to be officially announced and what characters we would like to see in the future for the line. That is at least how I understood this topic operates. However, if people here want to separate the two into different topics, I can talk with the other mods and admins to see if we can sort something out. Also, lets keep it civil in here folks. We all share a love for Dragon Ball and this hobby, so lets not let anything break that down. |

Advertising isn't a bad thing at all Gonstead, it keeps traffic going which helps keep websites alive, so don't feel guilty. I just pointed that out because its true, mods are encouraging more people to join the site.
As for the topic of the thread, I too assumed it was only loosely based around the upcoming figures and was more to serve as a general discussion/speculative thread. It wouldn't really make sense to only be able to talk about confirmed releases, as they get their own specific threads.

Guys, BBTS is overrated and the most expensive. MH Toy Shop has the same stuff for cheaper. Toyz in the Box should be getting it soon as well and Anime Island too. So far, MH has the cheapest prices, go get em! But BBTS has the advantage of using the Pile of loot right? I mean doesn't that save on shipping if we order more then one figure or does it boil down to them still being expensive than other stores like MHToy shop, Toyzinthebox and others...? |

For future reference, what would the best place be to discuss the best sites to buy figures from?
This thread; or specific threads for specific figures; or a yet-to-be-created thread?

Lets get back on topic.
When does anyone think the Beerus will come out? I think somewhere in spring 2016, that prototype looks accurate actually. Proabably one of the best prototypes I've personally seen. However does knees..... Ugh, I hope they update them. It's just like Goku's knees, no knees at all.

I mean doesn't that save on shipping if we order more then one figure or does it boil down to them still being expensive than other stores like MHToy shop, Toyzinthebox and others...? Pile of Loot doesn't really do much since the base prices for the figures are usually always more expensive than on other sites. Plus, most of the other sites either provide free shipping altogether, free shipping after spending a certain amount, or the option of combining orders to save on shipping (just like the PoL). Personally, I don't see any reason for using BBTS over other sites when other places have the same stuff for cheaper prices (shipping included). I go to the place where I can get figures the cheapest, and BBTS is never that place. Lets get back on topic. When does anyone think the Beerus will come out? I think somewhere in spring 2016, that prototype looks accurate actually. Proabably one of the best prototypes I've personally seen. However does knees..... Ugh, I hope they update them. It's just like Goku's knees, no knees at all. Spring 2016 is a safe guess. I agree, he's pretty perfect as is. They could fix the knees but I doubt it, since that would require resculpting it. I'm just hoping we see Whis at SDCC to go along with ol Beerus. I'm also waiting for the inevitable SSJ4 Goku official announcement. We haven't seen heads or tails of him, I'm hoping it's cuz they have some secret plan to go along with him (maybe a GT line?) |

Yeah I'm sure early 2016 would be a safe bet for Vegeta. They wouldn't wait for the Resurrection F hype to completely die before they released it.
