BBTS goes by U.S. dates commonly as they get their stock from Bluefin Distribution. Most U.S. e-tailers (Amazon, BBTS, MHToyshop, Toyzinthebox, etc.) get their stock from Bluefin since they are the official Bandai/Tamashii distributor for the United States.
In some cases, they get their stock through another distributor located over in Japan, Hong Kong, China, etc. but those are for items that Bluefin isn't distributing. Commonly for those, the prices are a bit higher...

I was just looking at BBTS and I noticed that you have to put in your credit card/debit card information and I don't really want to give that out. I already have all that plugged in with Amazon so I guess I will wait for them to get on there, we shouldn't be waiting too much longer now, they should have up for preorder sometime in August. I contact Amazon and asked them about it and they said they didn't have any information on the matter but to keep checking back often.

BBTS will require you to put a card in but this is only because they will charge you once the items are in-stock and ready to ship...therefore they want your credit card/check card/debit card/whatever on-hand to charge you once the items arrive.
Amazon does the same thing. BBTS won't charge you until the items are in-stock. That is kind of the norm for e-tailers anyways...

What are people's thoughts on some potential "Regular" Releases if SSJ Awakening Goku sells well enough for Bandai-Tamashii?
Try to distance yourself from what's popular to you and what's popular "to the masses" and would guarantee profit. No offense, but Regular Release Tien and Yamcha just won't do.
Here's some of my thoughts:
-Buu Saga Vegeta (With interchangeable "Majin" face)
-Majin Battle-damage Vegeta (from his battle with SSJ2 Goku)
-SSJ2 Goku (Clean...with a potential new Goku 2.0 body..fix those "sleeve biceps", new knee joints etc.)
-SSJ2 Goku (Battle-damage from battle with Majin Vegeta)
-*New* SSJ3 Goku (New body and more accurate SSJ3 hair)
-SSJ4 Goku
-Kid Goku (from "Dragon Ball", because it's a classic)
...and my "stretch" pick...
-Broly (with Base, controlled SSJ, and Reg. SSJ head)
I think the LSSJ Broly really surprised Bandai-Tamashii with how well it sold and how quickly it sold out. Apparently, it sold quite well in Japan as well. I could see Bandai-Tamashii potentially considering a skinny "Base/SSJ" Broly release.

disregarding the SDCC version...I'd like to see a Saiyan/Frieza Saga Goku that utilizes the updated parts seen on the Awakening Goku. New legs (maybe with knee joints similar to those used on Trunks and Krillin that so many want to see), a new upper torso with ab articulation, the exact same orange color used on the Awakening Goku, a thinner belt similar to the one used on Krillin, and the same head used on the 2014 Goku but with new faces (still can't shake my desire for more normal Goku faces. mock up I made based on the old mold.  |

I could see Bandai-Tamashii potentially considering a skinny "Base/SSJ" Broly release. My list would be: Saiyan/Namek Saga Goku (same body as the existing normal Goku just with kanji and a belt) Buu Saga SSJ/SSJ2 Goku (SSJ using the hair sculpt of RoF Goku, SSJ2, same body as manga Goku) Buu Saga Vegeta (Normal, SSJ with new hair sculpt with more striations, definition, spikes akin to RoF Goku, SSJ2) Majin Vegeta (Battle damaged) Blue/Purple Gi Gohan (Normal, SSJ, SSJ2) Armored Future Trunks (Normal, SSJ, with the long hair most likely) I see SSJ3 being released as a Web Exclusive in either a Premium Color version or a straight up BoG version (using the same body as SDCC 2015 Goku with the proper belt). I don't think he'll cut it as a regular release unfortunately and if so it'll be a different version from the Buu Saga one. I think all GT stuff will be Web Exclusive although SSJ4 Goku/Vegeta could be regular releases given their iconic status. I won't include any Dragon Ball figures since they haven't even hinted at any at all so far. Kid Goku's a good possibility for a regular release though since he's, as you said, a classic. I don't think they'll give us an updated Goku mold with new knees since that just cost's more money and why retool when you can use the same body? It only happened with Awakened Goku cuz there was no other way around it. |

I wander if some prototypes like the SS4 is beeing updated based on the new sculpt that we see on Awakening SSJ Goku.
I would like to see better shoulders and knees on SS4 and Ultimate Gohan if it really was delayed.

Review of awakening goku!! This looks awesome, but has anyone else noticed that his boot stripes and laces are the wrong colors for the saga he's supposed to be from? It's supposed to be yellow stripes and red laces. I didn't read everybody's replies, so... maybe it has already been said.  |

Yeah, this Goku is based off of the manga. From what I can tell, the only difference between the manga and anime one is the boots. The orange on the gi seems fine for both manga and anime. They could make an SDCC version by changing the boots and giving the same orange as the recent exclusive got but honeslty, I think this orange is fine accounting for the glow of the aura.
It can be pretty safe to say that most releases that have different manga colorings will always have the manga as the standard. Trunks seems to be the only exception since every other character released doesn't have different manga to anime coloring. It's smart so they can continue to have a steady supply of SDCC repaints to torture us with although I wish they would just stick with the anime coloring...

I'm pretty sure that when they'll make a Final Form Frieza 100% (which will be BD of course) it'll be regular release, so everybody who joins the line, no mattar when, they could get at least both that Frieza and awakened Goku. |

Isn't any one else tired of goku and vegeta constantly. Let's shake it up and get a Fat buu and Napa, Radditz, some other forms of cell, the other androids, I know they go based off the molds they have and how it can be interchanged to make new figures but would be nice to see something fresh

Yes, I'm pretty new to this, but I'ld rather see more characters than 6 Vegeta's.
If they release more figures and include some remakes or different takes on existing characters that's fine, but at the pace they are coming out I don't want to be looking forward to another Goku in six months, again.
