So glad they changed from previous years with the "limited preorders" and are just doing normal runs for the exclusives on P=Bandai lol

Been awhile since I checked on the forum but wanted to since I knew SDCC was going on. I really like all of the event exclusives this year except for Shenron since I already have the original (though the new one looks better IMO; still not getting another), but SS2 Goku was gonna be controversial of them to make an exclusive. Not surprised they did though to have a guaranteed high selling exclusive. He looks great, and man that aura effect is impressive. Fat/good Buu is one of the top previously released characters I've wanted that I didn't buy when he was affordable; great to see him. I also never got 16 when he was affordable.
I was surprised to see the reveal of Turles. I assumed Super Janemba would be the next Z movie character/villain. The big 3 Z movie villains are Broly, Cooler, and Janemba. Anyway, Turles has to be one of the best looking figures in this line IMO, and I look forward to getting him; they knocked it out of the park. Side note, I've thought that if they ever made Cooler canon (hopefully they do), they really should make Turles a member of the new armored squadron (and Bojack too IMO). It makes sense due to the Saiyans being servants of the Cold family, and the armored squadron wouldn't be filled with generic grunts like in the Z movie. I'd want them to redesign Turles so he isn't a Goku look alike though, and even more so since we have Goku Black.
I filled out that survey and put other for characters I want, and I remembered that even after the many I listed, I forgot SS Gogeta, and SS Vegito 2.0. Kind of frustrating, but I guess I can do it again sometime tomorrow. Here's the characters I named: Super Janemba, Super Baby 2, Omega Shenron, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, Bojack, Perfect Cell 2.0, Future Trunks 2.0 (from DBZ), SS3 Gotenks with a Super Saiyan head and ghost accessory, a re-release of Scouter Vegeta 2.0 since I missed out on it, Kid Buu, giant figure of Hirudegarn, giant figure of Golden Ape Baby, Metal Cooler, 4th form Cooler, Android 13 (base form), and Majuub.
For additional comments, I mentioned that they should have more individual accessories on sale (like generic energy effects, and dioramas from different famous DB settings) and better looking aura effects like what SS2 Goku has.

Happy for you all, but I can't pre order anything as Pbandai isnt in the UK.

Would have been nice to get a small Babidi figurine to go with the new Buu repaint. Maybe he’ll come with the eventual Dabura.

Happy for you all, but I can't pre order anything as Pbandai isnt in the UK. Same problem here, I wish they would ship to Europe or Japan. There are so many horror stories about forwarding services out there so I don't really trust them I wish BBTS would just stock the exclusives or P-Bandai Japan.

Wonder if they're gonna put these exclusives on the Bandai Namco store for Europe again , or if Bandai is back to just shafting anyone other than America.

Do you remember how they announced that last time? It would really suck to miss it if they put the exclusives on the Bandai Namco store.

If I remember rightly there wasn't a big announcement about it. Think Bandai Namco announced it through a tweet and they just appeared on their website. I remember they sold out of Nappa nearly instantly, so will probably need to be quick to get Goku/16..and potentially Buu.

I just remembered/realized that Turles from his movie had some dark blue in his armor. So, I'm kind of surprised the Figurarts of him doesn't. They should fix that, but they probably won't. The Figurarts is just black and grey. That's disappointing.
*Edit* Doing a web search, I mostly see pictures of him from his movie with dark blue, but there are a few where his armor is black and grey like the Figuarts. I'm confused why there's a difference in some pictures. I guess I'd have to rewatch the movie myself to be sure.

People might have passed by this info, Tamashii Nations FR will have those exclusives, but they will be available in December.

The film’s got a very dark blue-ish wash over everything. I’m pretty sure Turles armour is the correct colour on the figure.

Just picked up Buu, 16, and Goku from P-Bandai Dunno if I'm gonna get Shenron with that hefty pricetag but I'm sure they'll do some more runs like they have in previous years, so I guess I have some time to decide If you have the original and you want the exclusive, my advice is to make some room for the exclusive. If not, have a bit of patience when putting him together. He was not fun to snap together for me and I haven't touched him in around a year or so lol I'm sure I'm gonna need some extra room for him regardless, but I don't have the original either. I plan to put him in right in the center of my Dragon Ball display, and then figure out a way to raise Piccolo and his throne up even higher and farther back than Shenron, and Kid Goku in the front ^^

I'm wondering if they are going to ship in December or if the preorder will go up then. Last time it was complete chaos so I hope this time the server will hold up better and the scalpers will stay away (wishful thinking)
