I'm mostly interested in the regular frieza but I need a seller under $100Unfortunately you're a couple of years too late for that. I just got one from a fellow DBF member for a little OVER $100 and was ecstatic. If you watch eBay you can see them for lower prices but I have yet to see one sub $100. Well neither of the super buus have be announced there just prototypes, but i would recommend getting, all the figures that dont cost over $100 unless money is no issue then go ahead and buy the older releases that are 250+. ss goku, piccolo and ss/ss2 gohan are getting rereleased this year, gohan being released this month. There all going to be super cheap so i would buy those and any new releases coming out.... I didn't see SS Goku being announced as a re-release? I already have one so for me it doesn't matter much, but I'm surprised I missed that since I've been trying to keep on top of this stuff. Also of note, Mystic Gohan is out this year too.

Hopefully Amazon doesn't push their date back so the 31st is exactly how long I have to wait ><
Although part of me was hoping it would be some other figure that we DIDN'T know was coming. :x

I waited till this arrived before I posted I had won. It came in today. Seller had a feedback of 0 so I was a bit nervous. This was the best $50 I ever spent on a figuarts. There are no words. Was it just up for a Buy it Now?

I'm worried the SS4 Goku figure will go the way of the Napa prototype and sit in purgatory. I want both those figures.. like yesterday. I really hope they eventually put out Nappa and SS4 Goku. More the former, but I wouldn't mind grabbing both! I'm super looking forward to SDCC this year, and I am really happy that it's for Dragonball related stuff for once!

Idk if this is off topic but once tamashii nations covers the majin buu saga are they gonna start back from the saiyan saga and add characters to each saga or are they going into GT? If not do you think they'll cover dragon ball super? They haven't really been doing any real "Order" up to now really. The androids/Cell came out semi close together? This year they are doing Ressurection F to go along with the movie... With Piccolo/Gohan reissues. Also Mystic Gohan, which would be end of Buu Saga. We've also seen prototypes of Nappa and 2 Buu incarnations. It's pretty much up in the air with what they are going to release next.

When does the U.S. version get released? Does anybody know? Amazon lists it at the 31st of this month.

Luckily Youtube has a "History" function and it was only a few pages back. Here is the video, hopefully queued up at 2 minutes in, as that's where he's asked about re-issues, and says that they don't have a current stance on the "Web Exclusives". It did queue at just the right time! This is awesome man, thanks. It's great to finally have something physical to point to, especially since he acknowledged the fact that the packaging matters, and that they've already reissued web-exclusives before. Awesome! The entire interview is actually pretty interesting if you didn't watch all of it. He also talks about how Broly was picked via a survey specifically and such, which is cool to note.

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing it if it's easy to find! If not, don't go through too much trouble. Thank you!

Not think but cold hard fact we've even had confirmation from official sources saying so. The reason Piccolo, SSJ Gohan and SSJ Goku can be re-released indefinitely is because they are the only figures in the line which are not exclusives. Respectively, I've heard all kinds of conflicting stories, yet I've never seen any documentation from Tamashii stating they don't re-issue web exclusives. Apparently people have spoken with representatives (Like drowningrabbit) and those reps stated it could happen. Plus I think I even read somewhere that a Figuarts Zero statue that was a web exclusive got reissued, though I'm not 100% on that. Technically, Web exclusive would just mean you can only buy it on the web, right? It makes no mention of not being able to re-issue. Maybe you can't re-issue for retail sales, but I could imagine you could online. I didn't actually speak with a rep myself, it was in a video interview from last year that I was watching on Youtube. I can dig it up if you all would like to see it as well. But I believe it was actually linked from this forum.

It was a web exclusive, so some people think it won't get released again. Some think it'll be a SDCC exclusive with a repaint. I personally hope it'll be rereleased in the summer of 2016, since they seem to be beginning a pattern of rereleasing 1 older figure during the summer. (Piccolo last year, Gohan this year. Vegeta was the next released, so methinks SS Vegeta.) So no official word, just a lot of speculation. Not think but cold hard fact we've even had confirmation from official sources saying so.

We've actually had a few interviews with Bluefin reps that say that they don't have an actual stance on re-issuing those "Web Exclusives" and that we shouldn't rule them out. The "Web Exlcusive" stuff was technically for Japan, not other territories. Is there any word on this ever getting released again or a different color. Only figure i am missing. Drives me nuts.

Added Android 16 to my small area I have set up for scenery on my desk. Broly is wrecking people.

I'm hoping for Vegeta and Beerus. Then they can quit the RoF line. You can't forget about Whis! You want Beer and no Whiskey? Given the tradition as I've read, it sounds more like a new sculpt is not in the cards. We'll see though. I'm just hoping for a good re-issue with alt-colors. As I mentioned before Trunks would be great, or a new SS Vegeta. However with the last year being Arlian Vegeta, I'm doubting the latter.

Man all of these pictures look great! I can't wait to get mine! Mine is apparently coming in from Amazon today. E: Just got home and got him out of the box! This is my first brand new Figuarts figure, so it's quite an experience to be the first to get to open it. Pictures incoming when I can find my iPad.
