Really all of them? Didn't you only order 4? I know of people on here who ordered 6+ I ordered 12. Those peoples will be canceled too unless you've heard they've been shipped. I emailed them and they told me they were limited to 2 per customer. Well after I placed my order I made sure I emailed them and this is what they replied back with

just putting this out there, if anyone ordered extra just to sell them I'm hoping to get three of them at some point.

Well after I placed my order I made sure I emailed them and this is what they replied back with All they did was say they would refund my money. Kind of a let down, but at least I get two. Sounds like more than most got. I'm still scratching my head about the Piccolo, maybe that gives hope to more Vegetas showing up.

So it seems like they put up a 2 order requirement at first when they meant to put up a 2 order limit. Then when they fixed that they must have neglected to actually impose the limit.
Really wish I had ordered more. These things are safer investments than my IRA lol.

I dropped the ball so bad on this one. I kept putting Vegeta in my cart on Bluefin over the holiday weekend but never went back to pay. Too much BBQ'ing got in the way. Pretty disappointed, hopefully it comes back in stock somewhere around the $70 price.

That's what happened to me but we call it a carne asada! Also I emailed them if they would get more stock or are they sold out completely, and they responded with this:
"Hi Gohan,
We are now sold out."

And that's when common sense kicks in, and we all realize.. It's all about the money.. Forget all the fans. We want some big face 100's in our pockets. And I'm not sure how much it cost to get into sdcc, but I'm sure paying 65 bucks online adds up pretty close to what retail cost is for the figure, plus whatever you have to pay to get into the comvention. Maybe even less... MAYBE... Yeah I always get frustrated when people complain that they have to pay more for stuff from SDCC. SDCC costs about $40 a day, sometimes more I think. Not to mention gas driving to San Diego and back is about $40-60 from Los Angeles and if you get a hotel down there, it's several hundred. Going to SDCC is not cheap. Not to mention that to get some of the hotter items, like the Bandai Dragon Flute thing, you have to stand in line probably overnight, get no sleep or sleep on a lawn, then get a ticket to then go stand in another line to get the figure. So I don't really feel awful for people who don't or can't go having to pay an extra $15-30 for a figure they want and get annoyed when people complain like they are entitled to pay the same as I do when I have to jump through hoops and spend a ton of money just to go get stuff from the convention. Not that SDCC isn't fun, I have a blast, but it's not like walking into a Toys R Us and grabbing something off a shelf and flipping it for double. I completely agree with you ^^^ I was one of those people that camped out and slept over night to get some of those hot exclusives (Got 4 hours of sleep from two days), and excuse my language but it pisses me off when people complain when they have to pay 10 more bucks for what the exclusive cost at the convention, since they have nooooo idea of what it cost's to go to the convention and all the extra costs to it. Sure if you wanna save those 10 bucks spend the 100++ on the tickets not to mention all all the other costs that come with it, just to save those 10-20 bucks extra that people charge right after the convention. Sorry to sound like an jerk but just had to give my two cents.

It would be a totally different situation if he'd been out for over a year now. I can understand having to pay more down the road.. But for something so new, being marked up like crazy is just ridiculous to me.. and to them i hold my finger up. "but not the index or pinky or the ring or the thumb. it's the one you put up when you don't give a"...

"but not the index or pinky or the ring or the thumb. it's the one you put up when you don't give a"... I feel the same way. I also like having one open and open sealed in box. I have no problem with people buying some extras to keep around, I just don't like when someone buys 10-20 of them to sell on ebay later. With these figures being so limited, that ruins it for another potential collector. It's why I post links when I find something cheap, instead of buying it myself and flipping it. I see this happen all the time on slickdeals, not with collectibles, but with sales on other items. Someone finds something at a good price, posts it, and people buy 40 of them so they can sell them on ebay.

With a convention exclusive though, you can only really buy it outside the convention BECAUSE ppl buy a bunch at the convention to sell. Right? And if it's not to make money, there is 0 incentive for anyone to buy them at the convention to sell elsewhere.
If ppl stopped buying in bulk to resell at the convention, it ultimately wouldn't lead to more being available on bluefin's website, it would lead to bandai making less of the figure overall to sell at the convention.

I'm not talking about at a convention. I'm talking about when something is available to the general public. In this particular case, anyone could have bought one from Bluefin directly.

What I was saying though is that the vegeta's available at the bluefin store are either A) a small amount allotted for the store or B) overstock they weren't able to sell at the conventions. The online store isn't their primary method of sales for con exclusives, it's the con. So if people stopped buying in large quantities at the con to sell elsewhere, after a year or two, bandai would adjust and simply stop making as many and even fewer would be available at the online store.
