Well according to Nippon Yassan, Bandai are nolonger offering pre-orders on credit, so suppliers have to pay for their stock in advance meaning they can no longer offer the pay later option. I don't know whether it's the same for Blufin? A company like Amazon should be able to pay for their stock upfront, but maybe they don't like to. They never charge customers until they ship, so maybe this is why they're not carrying them anymore? That'll be interesting for websites like AmiAmi and HobbyLink Japan. |

It's possible that they could release purple gi Gohan as next year's SDCC EX, only minor retooling would be required (similar to Namek Goku)
Actually, I don't believe any minor retooling would be needed. At least in regards to sculpting anything new. They could repaint Piccolo's chest, repaint prototype Super Saiyan 4 Goku's ankles/feet...I believe that's all that would be needed, right? It looks like they based it on this photo, which his eye is slightly squinted  It's understandable. When you smirk, your cheek muscles rise a bit which is the case for Gohan. I like the figure smirk face. I'll see if that's still my opinion when I get the figure in hand though. |

I'm going to wait until he's stateside to pick him up. I'm trying to save all my money for NYCC. Are you going to Tamashii Nations 2015? Have you been there before? Pretty sure he's just excited for Tamashii Nations to announce new stuff, not that he'll be in attendance. I just saw the Megaman NYCC Exclusive figure, and I was swooned.  Likely won't be able to get one though since I don't have tickets, nor do I feel like driving all the way down there. I was confused by the way he worded it. I was really excited to see that somebody on the forum would be going to Tamashii Nations this year.  Yeah! I'm definitely going to try and get one. Since it'll be at the Bluefin booth, I'll probably be able to get away with buying half a case if I wanted to. (I don't, I'm just pointing out that Bluefin likes to give their exclusives out like cheap candy on Halloween.) Hopefully they limit the exclusives by 2 or something. I heard that figure was going to be released to other vendors though, I'm not too sure on that information though. I hope they announce majin vegeta since we are getting buu saga characters or my most wanted figure of all times in the history of time, ......... *drum *drum *drum*drum*drum*drum*drum*drum......... YARDRAT GOKU!! Though many people complain "oh we have too many gokus" i hope it gets released like if you would buy a yardrat goku I would appreciate if they just SHOW us something new. A new Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta head sculpt would suffice for me. October 30th will be at a time where 3 out of the 6 announcements will have been released. Hopefully we'll get information for releases after January. I honestly don't mind "too many Goku" releases. I think they should spread them out though and have him be the kick starter for a specific Season/Saga or just a random release in between less popular characters. You could put any character in that sentence and I would like it. I'm all in for the future of this line and I'm excited to see who they have planned. Except Jaco. I hate Jaco. I don't want Jaco. I'm going to wait until he's stateside to pick him up. I'm trying to save all my money for NYCC. Are you going to Tamashii Nations 2015? Have you been there before? No, sadly i'm not going. Haven't even had the luxury of visiting Japan yet, but have wanted to for about 10 years now! Was hoping to go for my 30th, but went to DisneyLand instead!  I want to go to a Wonder Festival one year, so either July or February (More likely a July Summer one) *Apologies for the off-topic* Disneyland is always fun! I would really like to visit Japan, as well. I want to look more into the Tamashii conventions and see how to attend one at some point. |

I'm trying to save all my money for NYCC. Are you going to Tamashii Nations 2015? Have you been there before? |

It's always a possibility, but I wouldn't put him very high on the list of figures that need that treatment. Vegeta and trunks didnt need it but as you said its a possibility. maybe we can get a darrker blue? I was thinking the same thing. They may recolor him similar to Premium Color Super Saiyan Vegeta. Which would be nice so people will be able to use the crossed arms on that figure. |

Honestly I think they're making a conscious decision when they alter the shades of the Gi every time. I think they're doing it to make each figure seem more unique from one another that way.  |

Instant purchase for me. I honestly didn't think it would look that nice. I thought Tamashii was going to focus more on maybe a goofy pose but this...this is just fantastic. The entire figure is 6.3" so I'm curious what the height of the actual Gotenks figure will be.

I just picked up Spirit Bomb Goku today. Amazing figure! I then finally opened up my Final Flash Super Saiyan Vegeta that I've had since April. I was very skeptical about this line but now I'm really looking forward to purchasing more releases in the future!

I'm curious as to how tall Super Saiyan 4 Goku will be. He appears to have the same legs mold as Majin Buu but I don't know if those legs are longer than any other leg molds.

Tamashii Nation has been confirmed for October 30th as expected!! Let the 70 DAY count down commence!!  I believe that's the same week that Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku and Golden Frieza are released in Japan. At least that date is when Nippon will have them in stock. |

I would like to see a Tamashii representative answer whether or not Perfect Cell is a candidate for Premium Color release. I feel that question can be given a solid answer. I wouldn't count on a confirmation outside of an announcement. All of the talk around side stepping the "exclusive" rules that they have has only been that it's in the cards that it could happen. Even when they referred to SSJ Vegeta/Trunks maybe coming when asked, it was something akin to: "It's not yet decided". So everything is on the table as being released as a 'Advanced Color' most likely. It's more of a question of how many new releases are they putting out, how many holes they want to fill in the release schedule, and what real demand is there for the figures. Pretty much, just like we supposedly will get more "Large" figures if Broly sold well, we'll likely get more AC releases if Trunks/Vegeta sell well. Which is very likely. Right. It's along the lines of "Which Premium Color will be next?" after they test the market with Trunks and Vegeta. (Which I'm assuming they will sell well.) They found a loophole for producing the same characters that have previously sold out and are in high demand. Hopefully it'll just be a matter of when for a lot of previously sold out character. Luckily, Perfect Cell should stay an option at any given time since Manga Gohan is capable of a reissue. |

We're so close to release date. I heard someone saying that these figs will cost less the later you pre order them (closer to release date) is that true? If so, then hell yeah! I haven't seen evidence to support that. If you wait later to pre-order them, you risk higher prices or sold out stock. |

Likely won't be able to get one though since I don't have tickets, nor do I feel like driving all the way down there.
