Wow, how generous of Bandai to re-release sought after figures so loyal fans can get their hands on them! What's that you say, they're convention exclusives? Well great, I'm sure glad Bandai likes to make the smallest percentage possible of their customers happy, that's sound business strategy. I'm getting real fed up with Bandai. The convention exclusives I can live with, even though it's real scummy to put Goku Black as one of them, proving they absolutely have the ability to re-release that figure in some capacity, they just choose not too. I have missed out on all of the Broly movie releases except Goku, due to their lovely strategy of making popular characters, that would have no problem continually selling, into exclusives. This self imposed limitation is truly baffling to me. Bandai exec: "Ah, I see we've made another absurdly popular figure. Welp now that only a handful of the people who wanted it have it, guess it's time to just throw it into our vault and never make another run of it ever again. Despite Dragon Ball making us ludacris amounts of money, we just can't risk making more of a figure that sold out in seconds. I mean, how could we be sure anyone else would buy it?" I'm sick of not being able to get the figures I want, because I don't have the money for it on the exact right day eight months in advance, or some guy was just faster than me at preordering, or because this stupid company refuses to re-release anything! This should not be a problem. *Sigh* Anyway, that 1.0 Gohan sure is outdated. You know who else is outdated? Trunks! He needs a 2.0 soooo bad, so I took it upon myself to make my own custom. I know quite a lot of people have done this particular custom, but I've never done anything this extensive before, so it would mean a lot if any of you guys would be kind enough to check out the pics I took of it. Which you can do here dragonballfigures.com/post/121486/thread Knowing my luck, they'll announce a 2.0 Trunks tomorrow, but considering the rant I just made, I probably wouldn't be able to get one anyway.

I feel your pain with releases like this. last year I finally got my hands on my first broly figuarts( 2018 convention exclusive) when I went to the north American tour stop in Hollywood. At conventions like that they have restocks of popular figures that are long sold out but they charge close to Second Hand prices for the (ssg boku, black, ect). On one hand I get it letting people buy a whole bunch of Goku blacks at 54 or 59 bucks a piece and then turning around and flipping them but if there was a decent supply of those figures in the first place they wouldn't be so expensive. All-in-all I enjoyed the direction this line is going with releases every month and getting figures we never thought we would ever get.

Hi, all -I'm new to the forums (but a long time reader). I just wanted to join in and contribute my opinion on the upcoming event exclusives to the conversation.
I'm personally really excited for Golden Frieza, since I wasn't collecting when the original was released and the saturated colors made him look a little hokey. With the recent release of Great Saiyaman, this Gohan will have to be a pass for me. I never expected to like Great Saiyaman as much as I have (those extra heads are awesome)! And since I was able to get Goku Black for MSRP (thanks to a post on this site ages ago), I think I'll survive without another version of him. But who knows, my opinions of figures always change once they're actually released... haha
The only figure that I haven't paid MSRP for was last year's event exclusive Broly, so I'm okay shelling out a little bit extra for one this year. I just hope they don't hurt my wallet too much. Fingers crossed!

My prediction is that we will eventually get a full release of blue gi kid goku and a premium color edition golden frieza. Then perhaps a 2.0 ultimate Gohan. Goku black probably won't get a rerelease.

The key is to be persistent and stay circulating around the line caps. I got in line for Thursday at 4 am and the line was capped right when I got to the tamashii booth. But the lines open back up, you just have to be respectful and persistent and keep circling back. I ended up getting in line around 11am and they still had plenty but that was the first day.

Just won the lot of 4 SDCC figures with a best offer. Estimated delivery is July 6th-11th Please be aware that you're essentially taking part in a "preorder" with an eBay seller, who might not even get the figures. Also keep in mind that you cannot open a Paypal claim after a certain amount of time. So you better hope this guy follows through with your figures, or refunds you. You're putting yourself in a position to be ripped off.
