prodigy1367 I cancelled my Amazon order today, and ordered from Badass Collectibles. The deal was just too good, and they said they're getting stock next week so I'm fine with waiting as long as I know it's actually coming. The Amazon rep was saying that my order was still a "Pre-Order" and that it wasn't released yet, and the sellers that have it already on Amazon are third party sellers. So I just said thank you and cancelled my order. They had no indication of getting any, or when that may or may not be. Damn, Amazon's really been letting people down lately. Glad to hear you were able to get Goku though and for a much better price. Their customer service seems to be really good since they responded really quickly to you. If they ever put up Super Buu, I might just go with them, unless Anime Island has any discounts going on. Only reason why I got Trunks from them cuz of dat there free shipping. Edit: So FedEx now says Goku is arriving next Monday...DAMN YOU FEDEX

I also ordered Trunks from Anime-Island, the sub $80 price tag and free shipping? I couldn't pass up. They also have Anime-Islang bux that you get as well that just make it even cheaper for repeat customers. I know we literally JUST heard about Trunks Zero EX getting a release date and all, but I need that Super Buu like now.

I think a lot of this is the tremors from the Port Strike IN ADDITION to Amazon being slow with Bandai/Tamashii products. The reports said that things wouldn't "get to normal" until summertime. Even some other vendors are getting bit-by-bit quantities and expecting more. It seems like some haven't received their "full" orders on Bandai/Tamashii products.
I too am disappointed by Amazon's tardiness with this. I may end up waiting until the end of the week before ordering him from elsewhere.

See who gets him first, if Amazon gets him in stock before next week, you may still win

He looks taller than 22cm in this picture. Any thoughts?? I'd venture a guess that he's the same size as the MSP Trunks, maybe a couple cm more accounting for the SSJ hair. Figuarts Zero EX and MSP are practically the same scale around 1/7. If anything he may be around 24cm. MSP says their Vegeta is 220mm, yet in actuality he's 250mm, companies be lying!

I'm only in NH, so the trip isn't that far from PA. I'm right next to PA in NJ, yet mine still took some time. I've seen some packages sent from nearby that end up way across the country only to get shipped right back East. Idk, how the hell package delivery operates but proximity doesn't seem to matter sometimes You're gonna love him, I couldn't be happier. I'm in the line till the bitter end. Strange that we don't have new announcements in this line. I hope we get more characters in the future.. This and the fact that no Figuarts Zero from DBZ have been shown makes me inclined to believe that Tamashii isn't done with their reveals. At the very least we should see Super Buu with an update on him or perhaps a prototype of a new character. The line is clearly doing well with Goku selling swimmingly, we demand moar!

The pictures of the display they have in SDCC is REALLY underwhelming. Someone here I believe compared it to the display they had in Mexico, and I would actually venture that it's way smaller than the display they had in Mexico! I believe I recall seeing one picture of some glass enclosed display for Goku and Trunks, but they didn't have Super Buu in it. Super Buu is the REASON I started having interest in this line.

Best Trunks of all time, it's sick. I think they look great together, Trunks is about 5cm shorter than Goku per Toriyama, in some vignettes the difference is even bigger. Goku in SSJ3 gains some height, and to that, add that he is floating. So it's pretty much correct.

Not that you guys especially probably care, but my wait for the Figuarts Zero EX SSJ3 Goku finally ends, I have a tracking number finally! I gotta say BadassCollectibles' email system is horrible. You can't count on a email that you get from them to be able to be replied to, and you only KNOW they get it if you use their ridiculously small "Contact Us" form. With that said, when they DO get your message, they are on top of getting you sorted and getting everything taken care of. Just took over a week of emailing the aether to finally go back to the crap contact us form and email them. I was at that point extremely frustrated and they were shocked because it was the first email they saw. It appears that when they send an email it gets some auto generated ID in the email address so it isn't always resolving to the right place.
