Exactly, and if it is the SDCC it's not going to be cheap either... It'll be more popular then the vegeta and this one will still be more valuable to a collector due to the box... At the price I paid it'll most likely equal the same or worst case I lost a couple hundred bux but if it's not the SDCC then that's even better... It's kind of like if you don't get it now and it's not the SDCC you're out of luck, if it is it's really not a big loss Even if it is the SDCC, it's not the same as this specific Goku. The exclusive packaging makes it more valuable than the SDCC so it should hold it's value. If anything it'll take a dip for a little bit, but it'll go back up in the future. Packages don't mean much, as long as the contents are really different. Its like for the figma Ironman, theres two packages, same exact figure, one has a lot more exclusive accessories than the standard release. The one with the more exclusive accessories has gone up in value than the standard release. In SH Figuarts related take SDCC Gohan and standard (manga) release Gohan, people have bought the standard Gohan more and more than the SDCC. Why? Because its way cheaper and nothing different than the SDCC other than paint. To which the SDCC Gohan has not go up in vaule like SS Vegeta. The SDCC Gohan has even gone down in value since a lot more people are opting out for the standard release. Its just those that want the SDCC for the color perference, but everyone else is opting out for the standard release Gohan. SDCC SS Goku has gone up in value a lot because it has a actual difference than the standard (manga) SS Goku, which is the outfit/Gi. People wanted the orange outifit as thats how we know and remember Goku, hence why the SDCC SS Goku has gone up and up. And has stayed up because theres no other same figure of it as its his outfit (and The hair I guess) that retains its difference over the standard SS Goku. Now if the Mexico Goku is the SDCC or will be available at SDCC, but just in different box, same exact figure and accessories, the Mexico Goku would be like put to the side or subsitute, as everyone will be going for the SDCC Mexico Goku and not the Mexico Goku, because of course its way cheaper and has everything the same as the Mexico Goku. A subsitute as in if you can't get the SDCC Mexico Goku, then you can get the Mexico Goku then, like you want the real SS Vegeta, can't, well get the DaTong one. So why bother with the Mexico then? Just for the box? People are not going to care about the box. Well except those die hard collectors that have to have every single version of it. But the price on the Mexico Goku will drop as its like meaningless now. Yeah it was 500 only, only to that event in Mexico, but you can get the exact same figure and all here and there than the Mexico Goku.
But we have to wait and see if Tamashii Nations/Bandai is really going to release it at SDCC, as some of you seem like certain and such.

I hope there's some sort of surprise when they officially announce the SDCC this year.

And those few people are what will keep the MexiGoku price up. Some people actually don't take their Figuarts out of their box and really enjoy the packaging (I personally don't care, mine are for display). It's still a one of a kind collectible and those MIB and hardcore collectors look at everything down to the dings and dents on the packaging. It WILL lose value at first if it's the SDCC but it will still retain some kind of exclusive appeal to some people. |

It'll be more towards those die hard collectors that the box is everything to them. And will retain some value as it will drop if its release at SDCC. But it won't be going for as it is right now at this very moment on ebay. |

Here is the Tamashii Mexico Figuart Goku I just received today Wait, is there any indication on the figure or on the box that actually says that its from a batch of 500? Like 1/500 or 325/500 for example. Since apparently theres only 500 in the world?

I think all the hype about it is that people on ebay are using the term "500 in the world" or "Only 500 made" and thus is drawing people attention when actually it could just be 500 were available at that event. Meaning it can be available somewhere else? Since if there is no indication on the box or figure that actually says like 100/500 or 450/500 and such.

I think they're just talking about the packaging the figure is in because of it was exclusive to that event. The people who are less informed about figuarts news probably don't know about the possibility of this figure being re used, repainted, and released as SDCC exclusive |

If you actually care about owning EVERY single release and/or have a box fetish, then yes, there's only 500 of the Mexico Goku figures in the world and you're gonna have to pony up some serious zeni to get it. If you just want the figure, wait for SDCC. It's also pretty safe to say that that box is ONLY for Mexico since it has the Mexican flag colors.

How many tamashii exclusives have been rereleased the same exact way figure and paint wise so far... It says in the upper left corner of the box Galeria Tamashii Nations Mexico 2015 Exclusive... It says under the name son goku - for Galeria tamashii nations Mexico 2015- and then it says it again right under that... The question is how many times have they called something an exclusive and meant just the box? Do they have a track record for doing this, I really don't know. But what I would say is stamping exclusive on the box that many times would not make me think they meant just the box... If that was the case I'd expect to see 'Exclusive Tamashii Mexico Packaging!' Or 'includes exclusive accessories!'

Also the sdcc vegeta says 'San Diego comicon international exclusive 2014' did they mean just the packaging on that? Where was that one released again? It's kind of funny if it is it is but when the USA gets a USA exclusive do you think other countries just say oh it's America the box is exclusive we'll get the figure too... Then when Mexico gets one the USA can't believe another country got an exclusive and they didn't so it just has to come out here lol... Sounds a little messed up to me

Thats what I was saying that how do those people know that are saying that the Mexico Goku will be available at SDCC or is the SDCC exclusive! lol! It wouldn't make sense. But there haven't been any other figure that Tamashii Nations has done this if it were to happen. While there has been many other toy companies that have done it. Like theres a figure that says Walmart exclusive while i've seen it at ToyRUs, Target, and Kmart, even that it says exclusive too. But it would not make sense if Tamashii/Bandai does it, but we all have to wait to see what they say.

The mere fact that we've gotten all these new releases with some figures coming right after another and even in the same month doesn't fit either. Tamashii's doing new stuff with the line now, so it's hard to predict what they'll do next based on their past behavior since already they've gone against what they usually do. Btw, there's solid evidence from various sources that this Goku is indeed the SDCC exclusive. Whether it's the exact same figure, face included, with just a simple box change or anything more/less than than that, we're not certain. All we know that in one form or another, this figure will be the SDCC. It's all but officially confirmed at this point. |

Not to say that it isn't true, but what if rumors start because people want to be able to pick this one up cheaper and it stops people from buying that otherwise would... Also, in my opinion it looks bad all around as a company by 1. Insulting a country and their exclusive event by making them believe they have an exclusive all around when really it's just a stupid box 2. Making themselves look lazy and less unique while also insulting the USA by passing off an SDCC exclusive that has already been released as an exclusive in another country a month before... As THE EXCLUSIVE. In that case it would be backwards where instead of us being pissed off they released it awhile later, we would already know it's not exclusive at all so what is it doing there in the first place? If they want to lose their reputation this would be a great way to do it, then we can pass them off as any other toy maker of the past... Plus if it is the same figure but has let's say the saiyan saga symbols... That's going to still be different and from a different era and you might as well settle for the normal goku release instead of the Mexican one because it's still not the same.

We've got some insider speculation from individuals that have relationships with Tamashii, but they themselves have not said that they are doing the MexiGoku. They haven't specified anything yet. |
