Do you guys think I'll save $ by preordering now (bd goku and vegeta) or waiting until after they're released and trying to pick them up pre-owned?

Toyz has already raised their prices on all preorders by $1.00. Yeah, I noticed that too. I am planning to get both of them at the end of the month, hopefully it won't go up anymore. |

I dont mean this to sound rude, but are you new to collecting these figures? Only asking because in the entire history of this line, it's never been cheaper to wait. Every figure thats ever been released has been sold for more on the second hand market. |

And that's only on the Amazon marketplace.. he still sold out or increased in price on other online stores |

I was just wondering since goku isn't a web exclusive it might dip in price upon release |

Then once its rereleased (as it isn't an exclusive) the price will go back down. |

Hopefully toyz doesn't raise their price and a few other sites have better prices |

This line is particularly victim to scalpers who buy up tens of every figure to hoard and resell later at a profit. It's pretty ridiculous and has honestly made me shy away from the line a little bit. Things like that keep new collectors from entering the market. |

Toyzinthebox will likely raise their price in a week.
They're a good seller, but I noticed they do like to jump on the "price bump-up" bandwagon. They're the cheapest right now (MHToyshop has sold out) so the sooner you pre-order, the better.
It might not hurt to contact MHToyshop either, considering how quickly SSJ Awakening Goku sold out there, they MIGHT get some extra orders through and open up pre-orders again. Never hurts to ask.
Amazon may likely also carry SSJ Awakening Goku. I don't see why they wouldn't since he's going to have massive quantities produced. I'm not so confident about the Premium Color Vegeta. Amazon didn't carry the SSJ Gohan re-issue which was quite odd, maybe they weren't interested and turned down ordering any from Bluefin. So I'd pre-order him from somewhere else if you're thinking of waiting on Amazon.

Definitely agree with you guys. With the multiple releases throughout the years it would be wise to purchase as early as possible. Not to mention the already high pricing on some of the exclusives. Its like a modern day SBC, save for the SSJ 3 pack, these figures will out value most of bandai's previously released figures. Very exciting for us older collectors.

That's true. I am interested in getting SS Goku Battle Damaged and SS Vegeta and I want to get them as soon as possible before the price on them goes up anymore. I know that Vegeta based on his original release of the figure that it will skyrocket after he comes out since there is such a high demand for him and also he is an exclusive.

Yeah, unfortunately this is a line where you have to stay on the ball with collecting the new releases, especially the popular "main" characters.
The only figure lately that has actually seen a slight decline in price is Android 16, but he's not a 'big' character in the entire series and not hugely popular so he'll be around in-stock for a while but will eventually go up. Vegetto just came out within the past month or so but he's slowly starting to sell out (quicker than Android 16 of course) and he'll likely rise in price soon. Some sellers still have quantities and there MIGHT be a second wave of him being shipped out...so we'll see.
I think SSJ Awakening Goku will be abundant. I do suggest pre-ordering him to lock an order in, but I think they'll make A LOT of him. And he's eligible for re-issue as well, which I makes me think he'll be the most common re-issue along with SSJ Goku v1.
