Toyzinthebox sold me their last Goku Black for $75. Also pre-ordered Majin Vegeta to be on the safe side.

Well since no one on here seems to know what is going on I’ll spill the beans. Bandai just informed bluefin That production has been cut for frieza, majin vegeta, and Roshi. As of right now everyone will be affected by this and allocation to the US has been cut by roughly one third. So the next 3 releases will be much harder to get. Because of this many sellers has closed their pre orders because they are not sure how many they are getting. Hope this clears things up.

I pre-ordered Frieza a couple of weeks ago from Amazon. After someone in the Goku Black topic said Amazon cancelled their pre-order due to low availability, I wonder if I should be quite concern with getting Frieza. I have only pre-ordered SH Figuarts before from Anime-Island before they closed, and I also have no experience with pre-ordering hard to get toys before.
Is Amazon bad for pre-ordering SH Figuarts from?

Was Dragon Ball the only series impacted by this or are other series's having their production cut as well?

But if I was you I would put a preorder in with them as a safety net. If you end up with Two you can cancel amazons order Since they take a little longer to release figures. ToyWiz also has a coupon you can use to get him “twsavenow” for 5% off

I would think most of the time they aren't. Also, I would pre-order from Toywiz like you said, but I will be traveling out of country with family later this month and into early June. That is an issue because Toywiz says that Frieza will ship in May. So, I don't want a box sitting outside of my door for a while during my travels. I thought Frieza released July 15 like Amazon said though; I'm confused why Toywiz says he ships in May.

I can maybe understand Vegeta and Roshi (We recently had a Super Saiyan Vegeta figure and Roshi isn't exactly super popular) but Frieza is arguably the most popular villain in the entire series... Were the pre-order numbers just not high enough?

This information was just emailed to bluefin dealers a few days ago. I’m actually in the process of getting an account with bluefin which is not easy to get at all so I have ways to get the info

In the words of Frieza: DAMNNN ITT I was really hoping to get Frieza from Eknight, but oh well. Roshi and Majin Vegeta I understand, But Frieza? From arguably one of the best arc in Anime history?

But hold your horses. The figure is not really “sold out” everyone is just being cautious at this point. In all likelihood he will be back in stock once everyone starts getting their shipments in June. But it’s not for sure and certain sellers will probably increase Frieza’s price.

BBTS has Frieza on pre-order status again. There are other sources I found that have him for pre-order as well with some being sold out.
Has anyone had success buying from OtakuPowers.com? Goku Black is available there for $53.30. Their release date however is May 31st.

I ordered Figuarts Goku Black 10 days ago, they charged me and haven't done anything since. I have sent 16 emails so far to cancel and refund my order and I haven't heard a single peep from them. It's a scam site, a lot of people think it's the same guys as AnimePoko
