Many of these S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball Z figures have become quite expensive, some of them exceeding 200 dollars. Some of us, like myself, didn't even know these awesome figures existed until recently, and we have missed out on some of our favorite characters when they were released at 45 dollars a piece. While it is understandable why these figures increase in value so quickly, I feel that we deserve another chance at collecting them. Many of us like to buy two of each. One to take out of the box to pose, and one to keep in the box for this exact reason - the increase in value. However at this point, Trunks and Gohan are above 200, with Ssj Vegeta, Scouter Vegeta, Cell, and Frieza not far behind. Piccolo and Ssj Goku were re released at a more reasonable price. This is a request to Bandai to do the same for the figures that are already over 100 dollars. Please consider our request for 2015.

I'd really like a ssj vegeta. And everywhere I go. He's almost like 3 or 4 hundred dollars. It's awful.

Anything that's released as an exclusive shouldn't be re-released. I feel pretty firmly about that. Bandai would be showing a lack of integrity by re-releasing something they said was supposed to be an exclusive if they had. Any other figures I wouldnt mind seeing re-released but I'd very much prefer they were re-released in limited quantities, that way the value of the figures doesn't go down too much. Some times "you gotta pay to play".

Expect only Gohan to get a rerelease.

I agree entirely. I was just suggesting that vegeta is too much. Not that they should rerelease him. It just sucks that his value is so high

Vegeta is insanely pricey, but I think one day I'll find him at a more reasonable price and it'll be pretty exciting. I've always loved the hunt, be it comic books or figures. Regardless, one day I'll have the whole line of figures, even if I have to pay an arm and a leg. Haha.

That's why at this point, one can only hope we will get, maybe a Cell Games Trunks... And maybe if we want a gohan we just have to wait for kid gohan or adult. Also, special thanks to Windows Phone for misspelling the word "cheaper" in the poll :-\

Just gonna take a little while longer, maybe some time next year even. Trunks and Vegeta I'm less optimistic about a re-release.

Kuririn, 18, Base Goku. What about the upcoming 17, 16, and Broly? Are any of them exclusive? Will they be worth this much in the future?

Because I don't know, I'd just rather have an original one. Don't get me wrong I would also like a future trunks (cell games) head piece. But then again he would be the sane size as vegeta. Wouldn't be in scale really. You know

Yeah I have the bootleg Vegeta. His joints are wobbly and there is a weird space under his chin so unless he is looking down he looks a lil awkward. Nothing that some poster putty wont fix I suppose.

Yeah your best bet is that Chinese bootleg Vegeta for 25 bucks, then use putty to fix the joints. Maybe they'll be real cool and just go ahead and give us a buu saga Vegeta with 3 heads. Black hair, super saiyan, and majin. Maybe they'll be even cooler and give us a cell games trunks with his long purple hair for one head and ssj for another.

Don't give a rat's a** about "collectible value," I find that to be a horrible business ethic. "Integrity by alienation" is always laughable to me from any company.
Bluefin should try to repaint Super Saiyan Vegeta, especially with darker blue clothes, and re-release him at SDCC. Future Trunks will more than likely not happen but Tamashi could release Cell Games Trunks or Bojack Trunks to compensate. I wish Bluefin had a lot more control for this series. They saved this line to begin with.
