I really want the purple haired Bulma. Why they gotta make it Chinese event exclusive :c Btw I just ordered SSGSS Goku from Amazon JP through Zen market since they happened to already be shipping them as we speak. BBTS is taking too long. What was the price point in USD for the goku off of there including shipping? Also, I am really wanting that Bulma as well. Going to have to find a way to obtain her. I am not necessarily wanting one of those stands. As cool as they are, I personally feel they would look odd in a display.

I am not necessarily wanting one of those stands. As cool as they are, I personally feel they would look odd in a display. $36 just to buy it straight up. Can't tell you the shipping cost yet since zenmarket will give you those shipping options once it reaches the warehouse. It is a proxy of course so there's a small 300 yen fee for services. But I built up credit in their system so I dont have to pay anything until it's ready to ship and you can have that item stored at their warehouse for a month or so until you're ready to buy it. How Zenmarket normally works is you have to transfer money to your account once you see something you want to buy or bid on. Once it's bought, they'll buy it for you. Then you pay shipping afterwards once they have it in the warehouse, but you dont have to do it immediately as previously mentioned. And you pick your own shipping method. They also have a shipping calculator so you can choose the best shipping for you.

I already have 3 of those goku's preordered from my reliable source here in the states and I dont have an issue waiting for the bluefin distribution. However, I saw that they have Deku and Bakugo Figmas up on there and went ahead and preordered them. Everywhere here in the states wants like $90 each for them. I got them for ~$75 each. However, I chose the Amazon Global Premium shipping option and it gave me a shipping amount? You're saying that it can change?

I never ordered from Amazon JP itself, just through a proxy site(zenmarket) a couple times. I'm assuming proxy goes with the standard shipping (yet for the things I bought from them, they get to the warehouse pretty fast). You then choose what shipping speed you want yourself so it will get from there to your house. Ah. I ordered Deku with the bonus mask from Nippon Yasan(?) back when it was first released. I ordered Bakugo just now from Amiami. He's at $57 before shipping

I can barely tell the difference between the original Golden Freezer & the SDCC Exclusive Golden Freezer. They are identical to me

The SDCC has a better gold color scheme than the original with ugly mustard yellow all over it

I have seen a couple of images of people getting confirmation to purchase the exclusives on preview night! Which is tomorrow night. So expect to see a flood of these on eBay for sale around 6 P.M. Pacific Time tomorrow night.

Pacific Time tomorrow night. Awesome. I will get the Gohan no matter what. The eBay “preorders” are down to about $120 now, hoping for <$100.

The SDCC has a better gold color scheme than the original with ugly mustard yellow all over it I agree that there's a difference, the event exclusive has a more pale gold color scheme, but... Mustard yellow? I do enjoy the pale scheme more though. For comparison:

I think from different pics it looked more yellow than I imagined, but my pc screen is also a bit different with colors.

For me, what I like most about the SDCC variant of Golden Frieza has less to do with the yellow coloring and more with theighter shade od purple used for his mouth/hands/feet. The original's are really dark, from what I can tell.

The official promo pics do look VERY gold, but I own the figure and so I used a pic in my post that looks like what the figure actually looks like in person. It's not nearly that bad. I don't mind the colors at all, which is why even though I prefer the SDCC colors, I'm gonna leave it be.
The only one I really want is Goku, but not confident I can secure it. SUCH IS LIFE.
EDIT: and yeah, the purple of his skin is very vibrant. I didn't mind that so much, because it's what he looks like in the anime/movie... I do think the slightly more muted purple works better as a design, but technically the vibrant purple is pretty accurate.
Overall, the new colors are better. I just don't mind the old ones. (Shrug)

friezku, you don't need to say SH Figuarts Dragon Ball every time... It makes it a little confusing trying to figure out what you're talking about.
