bbarta89, you don't have to keep justifying your purchase. It's what you decided to spend your money on, and it will likely retain a lot of its value due to the mexican box. So that is a plus. However, to argue against the logic of those of us who have been monitoring Tamashii, their business model, and their relationships with insider information is kind of silly. Your picture of your MexiGoku stating "I'm not going to be the SDCC Exclusive!" goes against the now extensive amount of information we have that states exactly the opposite. You seem to just be flaunting it while you've got it. We get it, you purchased the action figure. Some people just think it was a very large amount of money you dropped. And they're entitled to feel that way. blank but maybe you're also rubbing salt in the wound a bit? We're all adults, so lets talk like adults. About toys. Lets talk about toys.

Well actually I just posted it as a joke... Because it won't be an exclusive since it is was already an exclusive and it being rereleased makes it not exclusive at all... Plus I just joined this forum and the figure ended up coming that day so I posted it... I've bought and still buy all different expensive dragon ball collectibles not limited to just figuarts... So I saw a thread posted the figure I just got and all I hear is about is the price and bitching about it with only one or two actually being happy for someone that was able to get one... Because price wise I paid the least of anyone but put that aside, it's not easy to get even for $800 the buy it now ones for $600 sold instantly and the only other buy it now was for $2000 which means you'd have to beat out the people bidding in a 6 day time period but also realize it'll go up to $1000... That's a pain in the ass... You'd think you guys would want more people to join this community but everyone is too concerned about getting theirs when there's literally nothing you can do because it hasn't even been announced yet, that they don't appreciate anything else. Which makes this look like a forum full of jerks.

And if it is the SDCC exclusive the one you have will still be an exclusive because it was the packaging was exclusive to That event. If it's not he exclusive doesn't matter because I forgot who but one of our members spoke to someone at the event and they confirmed it will be at SDCC.

No one should have to worry about being insulted on this forum because they chose to spend their money how they like. There are some poisonous personalities on this forum and I wouldn't be surprised if a few of these individuals weren't part of the scalper problem as well. Pretty ironic.

Your picture of your MexiGoku stating "I'm not going to be the SDCC Exclusive!" goes against the now extensive amount of information we have that states exactly the opposite. You seem to just be flaunting it while you've got it. We get it, you purchased the action figure. Some people just think it was a very large amount of money you dropped. And they're entitled to feel that way. blank but maybe you're also rubbing salt in the wound a bit? We're all adults, so lets talk like adults. About toys. Lets talk about toys. LOL! Rubbing in salt in a wound? When? How? I just said it doesn't matter to me if its apparently "sloppy seconds" which makes no sense by the way as its like iphone being exclusive AT&T and then was available at all other retailers, so were they "sloppy seconds" too? lol! But I said it doesn't matter to me if its a exclusive or not but as long as its available at SDCC. If so, then hopefully it'll come with everything like it, gi color, GO symbols and extra face. And with that I won't be spending anything close to what he spent and who ever paid more for it. Thats it! How is that rubbing salt? lol! Never once insulted him in any way, all I said that hopefully its avaliable at SDCC in either a exclusive or not exclusive, as long as its available which results that I won't have to pay anywhere near what he paid and others.

How about we just close this forum? The figure has already been released, some people have it already and all we do is argue about if it's the SDCC or not. We need to take this over to the SDCC forum I O

Does anyone think that if its avaliable in either exclusive or non exclusive at SDCC, what do you think the prices will go for on ebay? Like will people try to sell it as the MexiGoku prices? Just because its exactly as the MexiGoku like contants and paint but only difference is the box.

Wait didn't you say you thought it wasn't going to be the sdcc, I really didn't find anything you had to say offensive... It was more the fact that as soon as I posted it, it had completely negative responses and questions asking how much I paid how, I would feel if it was the sdcc... People literally taking a positive and turning it into a negative... Why cant anyone appreciate what it is at this time and now... So what if it comes out at a later date and people will get it cheap, nothing's guaranteed. And as of now compared to what it's going for I got it for cheap whether you can't afford it or not doesn't matter... If you got a $100 figure for $15 in your price range id say that's awesome congratulations, not hey you know why you got it that cheap, they are releasing it again in two months and it'll be for sale for $10 and I'm gonna get 6 of them, you didn't get a good deal at all. But it is what it is I didn't have to search out a place with people with common interests and just kept it to myself like I was doing, which kinda would of been better, because now I know the type of people I share a common interest with and I'd rather not lol... I say this all the time, every hobby I've ever had, the people ruined it for me.

Which makes this look like a forum full of jerks. Posting a image of your figure with a caption that he won't be the SDCC exclusive "As a joke", means you haven't taken stock of how the threads tone has been. If you didn't mean it as a trolling post, you did really poorly at framing it. There are a lot of people who are just going overboard though. I am very happy for you that you got yours, and that you got it at a DECENT price. I wouldn't spend that much on it, but that's my choice. Also if it wasn't the exclusive, it wouldn't really affect me. I'd just move on. The vitriol that has been thrown about in this thread though is staggering in both camps. I mean, if we want to talk about overreacting, case in point: bbarta89, you don't have to keep justifying your purchase. It's what you decided to spend your money on, and it will likely retain a lot of its value due to the mexican box. So that is a plus. However, to argue against the logic of those of us who have been monitoring Tamashii, their business model, and their relationships with insider information is kind of silly.

Regardless of the outcome, in the end, I'm more looking forward to see the advanced repaints at SDCC than seeing a figure that we already know about being the exclusive that they have there. Will I buy the exclusive, no matter what it is I'll VERY likely pick it up. EDIT: Apparently there is ANOTHER PAGE of this. I figured at this point you were just trying to be funny and did not realize that the vast majority of the thread was upset about the release, but then you posted: But for all I know everyone posting is 12 years old with no money, so maybe that would make sense. If you're looking to fit in here, you're not endearing yourself to anyone with posts like this. Why not step back and just enjoy your figure for a while before you start making so many reactionary posts.

Which makes this look like a forum full of jerks. You keep stating it like it's fact that this Goku won't be the exclusive yet as jj and others have already pointed out, there's a lot of evidence to the contrary. Who cares how you spend your money. Point is, you have the figure, we don't. Congratulations? This forum doesn't try to create animosity but with certain people becoming argumentative, arguments will occur. Let's just all be mature and assuming (the majority) we're adults, let's act like adults. Goku looks fantastic btw and I'm glad you were able to afford one. I want one really bad but I just don't have the funds. It's looking 99% likely that the SDCC is gonna be this Goku in one shape or another, so there's our chance to get one just like you already have.
