I think Shenron is there because they are releasing Porunga. Like “it’s your chance to get both dragons for your collection”

I'd love to have SS2 Goku in my collection, but there's no way since he's a event exclusive figure.
That pisses me off. It's the third Goku I won't be able to buy because of that. (Sign and SSBKK were the other ones).
All I have left to do is wait until they decide to make a regular version, like they did with Goku Black.
The other ones were good choices. Good chance for those who didn't get the first release.

Is there any way to get them except at SDCC? I’d like to know too. If it's anything like the last two years, they will probably be up on Premium Bandai for purchase. I think they did two waves last year? SSJ2 Goku looks fantastic; I'm really glad they added more detailed sculpting to the hair, they have the halo, and the battle damage from the fight with Vegeta. And the electricity on the aura is a nice touch! A16, Buu, and Shenron all look great; I enjoy the coloring a lot with the latter two, though I couldn't justify a second Shenron. Also Porunga looks great! That price does not, wow! Imma get it, but my decision makes me question my priorities in life!

I should have said "outside of the US", Premium Bandai is not really helpful if you don't live in the United States.

OMFG FINALLY SSJ2 GOKU!!!! AND HE HAS A HALO AND SLIGHTLY BATTLE DAMAGED GI! MY LIFE (or Goku collection rather…) IS COMPLETE!
Sucks that imma probably bite the bullet and pay scalper prices for him like I did last year with SSBKK Goku… but after all this wait, I don’t care! He looks awesome.
I already have the OG #16 and Fat Buu, so I won’t go crazy for them, even though I think the new #16 looks better.

Last years event exclusives can still be purchased on a few UK websites, except Nappa. Hopefully the same will happen this year. SS2 Goku will probably be more difficult to get though. I hope the halo is removable.

Ok, so before complaining as this is something I always do, and I have a lot to rant today, let's remind people in Europe that most of the time, Tamashii Nations FR are getting these exclusives except if they are territory exclusive like Zamasu (right hu? No I haven't swallowed that pill yet.)
So here is my rant : First : In France, we are getting that new movie in October, we are the last to get it! What the f!
I won't spoil the movie, but that thing is crap anyway and Toriyama should just stop trying to do things linked to Dragon Ball.
Now the exclusives : Hu....A16 is a good idea it will go well with the other two...but hu...what is different with Buu? Also...what is different with Shenron?
And now : Goku SSJ2 : Are you fing kidding me?! It's an event exclusive? They are doing the same crap they did with the Ultra Instinct Omen Goku? They are keeping this trend and it's not a good one, this needs to stop ASAP.

Oh my God, this is stupid.
Why is SS2 an exclusive? This essentially means that this will be your only way to attain this figure. They're not rereleasing any of these. Heard some people saying he'll be resold as a general release eventually, but I don't remember seeing a general release UI or Blue Gi Kid Goku (the Japan-exclusive repacks don't count; aren't registered as general on Tamashii's site.)
The others are fine, but Goku should not have been a one-time event exclusive. If they're all going up on "Premium" BANDAI, may Kami have mercy on the souls of those who dare order from that hellhole again. Unless the site has been fixed, unlikely as that is, seeing what happened the last two years. Wouldn't trust them if they said "don't worry guys, the site is fixed now! We pinky promise these won't crash and subsequently sell out!" Expect 24 per order and the site to die if that's the case.
There's also been a rumor through the grapevine that won't even be happening. Don't know how true it is, but if these aren't on BANDAI's site, then they're probably going to be sold as they used to be, at SDCC. On the plus side, it (in theory) should prevent scalpers, on the downside it means anyone who wants these is going to have to book a flight to San Diego and pay however much it is to attend SDCC for the slim chance of getting any of these figures.
TL;DR, SS2 Goku was a terrible idea for an exclusive and I would doubt anyone who says he'll be rereleased anytime soon, the others are fine, and there's a chance you won't have to deal with a site crash this year but will instead have to book a flight to SDCC (unless you live in California.)

There were figures that they released as exclusives at first, but than they made them as regular ones. Not the exact same figure of course, but the same character/transformation/look. Namek Goku got and 2.0 version and Kaiohken Goku as well, and Goku Black got a version with less accessories after. That's why I believe they'll be released after a while. After all, bandai wants to cash in with event exclusives first (higher prices), and than they cash in again with regular versions. I mean, they know for sure that Sign Goku, SS2 Goku and SSBKK sell like hot cakes.
