I checked Nippon and they do have them, but literally $400 each...I would just check Amazon. I was able to pick up SS Vegeta for under $200 you just have to constantly check back and forth. |

Has this truly been confirmed yet? No offense at all to the original poster or his source; but I'd like a little more than an "I was told". Just saying I figured we would have heard this from a higher source and witnessed more opinions/outrage by now? Anyways, IF this is the case; losing the shippers is a bummer, but in no way a deal breaker for me. In fact, it's too early for me to believe tossing the shippers is a bad thing (in my opinion). Maybe it's a way to keep production costs down or something. Maybe Tamashii is being more environmentally conscious? Heck, I don't know. I will say that when Ultimate Gohan arrived, his package (simply sealed in a plastic bag) was in PRISTINE condition. As a MOC/MIB collector, immaculate packaging is very important to me. I also have figures that suffered a little rubbing on the corners of their boxes due to the tight shippers, so for me personally, I'm not going to cancel my current pre-orders, and place new ones at a higher expense with a larger shipping window on behalf of a cardboard box. No offense to those that will or already have; just throwing my two cents into this mix.

The best proof we really have other than rumor or "I heard" is that the box for Ultimate Gohan was changed to have more of it in English ( New box, instead of reusing it from Japan's release ), as well as not coming with a shipper. |

I didn't say that this was officially declared by any higher up source, hence "I was told"... Simply a reaction to what the local retailer told me and why I'm asking for fellow forum users' opinions and thoughts while throwing in my own. You're opinion is appreciated, just throwing my two cents so it's not misconstrued. |

@rblagarde I think you're right about Gohan and everything released after (in North America) will not have a brown shipper. I've been checking eBay constantly trying to find a US-version of Ultimate Gohan that includes the shipper, and so far I've only seen Gold sticker versions with the box.

I guess we'll find out with SSB Goku and Golden Freiza soon...

So, Alex from Ageless Geeks said his shipment of SSB Goku and Golden Freiza came with no brown shippers. So that confirms it, no more brown shippers fro US releases any longer.

Other shops confirmed too. Seems like US releases won't be coming with shippers anymore. Fk Bluefin and Tamashii.
Now I will just get Japanese versions.

I think I'm fine with letting it go.. I mean, I understand why they quit making it. Costs too much I guess, the value also went up with most of the figures costing like 50 bucks if I remember correctly. Especially the new pre order ones like god super saiyan vegeta and beerus

It does not make sense since the Japanese and Asian releases all get their shipper boxes but not only US versions. Screw Bluefin.
