The only issue i have is paying for them all up front sadly, i mean how could you bang up a shipper?  haha maybe ill switch i just want to make sure i get them in great condition and am able to pay at time of release, any honorable mentions for both of those? haha MH Toy Shop allows you to pay upon release and Anime Island lets you put down 20%. If you don't wanna pay anything at all now, your best bet is MH. sadly MH is sold out of like everything and maybe ill go through anime island, long as you say theyre good i trust ya haha  |

Also keep in mind that anime island doesn't let you back out on your pre order hence the 20% down.

Amazon has been failing so hard with their Figuarts releases. I stopped pre-ordering from them a while ago and haven't looked back. Much better places out there and cheaper too. Anime-Island still has Goku and Gohan for pre-order if anyone wants Besides Vegetto, the last figuart I got from Amazon was 18. And the only reason I ordered Vegetto from there was because I had a $30 gift card or something lol. |

If you've got Prime, Amazon's awesome for a lot of stuff. Even without it, it's still pretty good, but for figure pre-orders...STAY FAR FAR AWAY

Amazon has been very strange with Tamashii Nations lately. They didn't carry the Gohan re-issue, passed on PC Vegeta and likely PC Trunks and now have cancelled Ultimate Gohan. Not that the figure is anything stellar but I think this is a business decision that plays in part with Bluefin distribution and Tamashii's recent shifty release dates.
One thing I've said is that Amazon is BIG on delivery dates. A lot of their shipping services and delivery promises circle around meeting those dates. Amazon has been dealing with Tamashii's and by extension Bluefin's constant date changes. It especially hit hard during the Port Strikes. Bluefin also never seems to distribute the product "on-time", with some vendors getting their stock weeks or even a month or two before others. I believe Amazon has lost some faith with Tamashii and is going to be quite more selective about their product choices and I think they've been disappointed with Blefin not meeting their distribution dates for their orders. Hence why people tend to cancel their Amazon pre-orders and order from elsewhere when stock is available earlier.
With Ultimate Gohan...let's be clear, it's a lame figure and basically a new head sculpt on a body we've seen many times before. I apologize if you like this incarnation of the character but it's true. I believe Amazon didn't have many preorders to begin with because there isn't much interest in the figure in comparison to the other blockbuster DBZ figures announced. Once Bluefin or however Amazon found out that they're pushing the release date back, I believe they just said "screw it" and decided to just cancel their orders from Bluefin. So hence why they're not carrying Gohan now.
It will be interesting to see what happens with SSGSS Goku and Goldenrod Frieza if they don't meet Amazon's dates. Might want to start looking to pre-order elsewhere just in case.

THat is actually a very good point, i canceled my prime due to the shifty dates but mainly the customer service i got was awful for this. I decided to go through BBTS just because i can pay at release time and they have a great rating on the BBB, so i figured i would just give them a shot for future releases as i remember ordering vegeto and getting him 2 months after everyone else even though my preorder was done the day they put it up. I mean that was my main reason for amazon prime in the first place. But i will see how BBTS treats me and if its good ill pay a few extra bucks for some figures i dont mind that aspect as these are for me and i generally dont plan on resale unless i get duplicates. which is almost never |

Alright, I pre-ordered all 5 upcoming releases and recently picked up new Cell, Krillin, and Frieza. Muh wallet D: Haha........I know the feeling! In the last 2 months I've bought 9 DB SHF (SSJ Gohan, Perfect Cell, Frieza, Krillin, Goku, Androids 18,17 & 16, and Vegetto. (So far spent just under £500!!) I've also got my eyes on a scouter Vegeta and hoping to grab Piccolo at re-release next weekend!! After that I got SSJ Goku SWA Ver. along with SSJ Vegeta & Trunks PE's pre-ordered. Hoping for the release of more Buu saga figures now, then I may consider getting Ultimate Gohan as well. Well... Amazon just pushed back my SSGSSJ Goku order by a month and flat-out canceled my Ultimate Gohan order. Well considering SSJGSSJ Goku and Golden Frieza aren't due out until October in Japan (November internationally) then I wouldn't get so worried. Ultimate Gohan is confirmed for release on 25th September in Japan ( www.dbzfigures.com/figure-news/sh-figuarts-ultimate-gohan-release-date-changed/) so expect him around the 25th October at Amazon/BTTS, etc. September 25th?! That's my birthday! |
