Yep. If we get the 10 latest releases, 5 are normal and 5 web exclusives (6 now with Trunks).
It's just stupid to see they limiting the quantity of what may be the best release in the line so far (imo)

Webshop exclusivity is purely aimed at the Japanese market. For international distributors it makes zero difference. The only thing it does mean is that figures will not get re-released, which I think is a good thing. I would not want future slots flooded with re-releases because Tamashii do not have the manufacturing capacity to re-release old figure alongside new ones simultaneously. Personally I prefer webshops since you can order them easily from Japan without losing sleep, take Bulma for example, still up: www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/24719-shfiguarts-bulma-limited-edition.htmlNow find me a J-Shop that still has Gotenks available for pre-order................ ...........my case in point. |

They don't constantly re-release figures though do they? And Gotenks is sold out but imo I'd prefer waiting for figures to be re-released if I miss out on them for any reason rather than having to buy something immediately or pay $150+ later on. Also Bulma's probably still available because even though it's the first Bulma figure, it's a terrible outfit that most people don't want. Compare it to a release like Black that sold out pretty fast to the point where peoples orders were getting cancelled and he shot up into well over 100 bucks. Then you look at a figure like SS3 Goku that is sitting nicely an 70 bucks. All the web exclusivity stuff seems to do is make it so that the figures start off more expensive and get even more expensive as time goes on. |

That’s absurd when many online retailers still have him for pre-order. Amazon being one of them (but rather iffy) If you’re in the states, this place was confirmed to be “legit” by one of the members. www.toydojo.com/s-h-figuarts-dragonball-z-majin-vegeta-tamashii-nations/ |

Most likely regular, then Merged after some other release I bet I think it'll be the other way around to be honest. They showed the pic of Trunks with the broken sword and said about 'recreating the epic scene!' but that's not really possible until they give us a Merged Zamasu. if you guys collect shf naruto series... then you will be more stressed of their exclusive releases ... haha I do but I don't know that there's much to stress about there, Tamashii seem to have just given up on the line completely :/ |

All the web exclusivity stuff seems to do is make it so that the figures start off more expensive and get even more expensive as time goes on. That isn't the reason Bulma is still available. It's because orders are still being accepted by premium bandai until June 20th: p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000124309/?_ga=2.50529706.260176111.1528266432-991529030.1481183589It was the same with Black. Regardless of popularity, Black's Japan pre-orders were open for almost 5 months. I know because I remember checking NY for weeks even after the premium bandai deadline, and then watched the remaining stock slowly dwindle down. You are right about re-releases though, where is Beerus, SSJ Trunks, SSJ Vegeta or SSJ3 Goku re-releases. They haven't materialised even though they are all possible. I can understand for people who like to wait until release/re-release to get their figures, but for people who like to secure there's day one and stress free, webshop exclusives are much better. I remember having a nightmare trying to get SSJ3 Goku after pre-orders sold out first day. Took me days until I found a seller on Rakuten Japan with stock who was willing to ship international. |

This, if you really want a figure, don't wait. The line is in a special place right now. Tamashii has reduced the production on one side and on the other side people are panicking to not get the figure so they act quick to buy the figure. It's the law of demand.
The chances of the price to drop are low. For example, I like the SSJ3 Goku but it's not a necessity for me. So I'll wait till the price drops and if it doesn't, I won't get him. In Belgium we have a couple of sites who sell SH F. And you can see, when the price drops on one site, the other one follows and might tip the price drop.

Everything was available long after release. And being comfortable NOT pre-ordering (a mistake I will no longer make with anything I definitely want) is what screwed me and most others with Black. I sure hope the Naruto line isn't dead seeing as there are still so many unexplored options and the line was starting to look great. If Figuarts Zero Dragonball re-emerges every so often, I don't see why SHF Naruto can't. |
