Glad I'm not the only one delayed. I've been panicking! I've never preordered on amazon, I hope they are going to actually send it and not just refund me. x.x

The earlier you pre-ordered, the more likely you will get the figure.
I think Amazon was able to fulfill all their Broly pre-orders and still had some left-overs that they posted on their website but they sold out quick. I'm sure that will likely happen with Android 16 too.

I'm sure that will likely happen with Android 16 too. I don't think his sales will be like broly. Broly is a very popular character. He was in demand. 16 is just being made to finish the android trio.

It's a shame, too. 16 is 100x better than the Lord-of-All-Over-Rated-Characters (Broly). He really deserves more love, figures, and more screen time. Big guys with soft hearts, nothing better. <3

I stopped pre-ordering from Amazon after the Goku fiasco. I remember they kept pushing back his release date when other places had theirs in already. I ended up canceling mine and ordering from Collec-Toys. Now my go-to places are Eknightmedia and Anime Island. They're always cheaper and they ship quickly. Amazon lately has been messing up with DBZ Figuarts pre-orders for the past few releases. Love Amazon but for my Figuarts, I would shop elsewhere

Yes, if it's a preorder, Eknight or ToyzInTheBox are my first choices. I preordered 16 from Eknight this time because it was cheaper.

Same, I'm just waiting for their shipment confirmation. They've been on the dot with their release dates so far, so March 30 they should be shipping him out

New review for 16.I'm pretty excited for this even though I don't care about 16. The figure looks incredible.

He is that. The only qualm I have with mine is that the green of the armour is a little bit too anaemic.

The delays are part of the ripple effect from the Port Strikes fiasco. They finally did get a deal signed and are back to work but there is an "epic" backlog of crates that need to be unloaded. They estimated it can take about two months to get "back to normal". I posted a recent article about it in the "Port Strikes" thread in the Non-DB section for those interested.

He looks pretty damn cool. I'm certain that I'll enjoy this release. Should motivate me to make a proper display too...

So I just received my android 16 a couple of days ago: I still havenet opened it yet, but I have to say, this is the first figure I get that actually looks better in the pictures than in reality. I am very dissapointed in how this figure turned out. The quality and the painting in my opinion is very inferior. You can see in this picture how the figuarts 16 looks next Scultures 16. IMO figuarts 16 looks like garbage next to it Opinions guys??

I mean one is statue and one is a figure. I think he looks fine tbh. But, I won't know until I get mine.

Woooow, the huge negative reaction this figure has gotten was a huge surprise to me and still is.... And here I was all the time thinking this figure would be acclaimed and loved... Should I get him? Is he really worth the 60$ bones?
