What I wanna know is (and forgive me if this has already been answered and/or is apparent and I've just missed it) is the HG series still in production? Are they still making new characters and/or sets? There are many characters I'd love to see join the HG ranks. I don't know for sure, but I had assumed that HG series had ended. The last full HG set, HG 23, was released a few years ago. Recently, though, Bandai put out a HG Special series which was a combination of previously released HG and DG figures.  M5 posted an image, located on the first page of this thread, that show Bandai is re-releasing Dore and Neiz from the HG EX line under the heading "HG Special DragonBall Z Movie Edition". That shows that the HG line is not entirely dead , but not being released nearly as frequently as it was (about 3-4 new waves a year). Although we have only seen four of the figures from the upcoming 'HG Special Movie Edition' (usually there are 6-8 figures per series), to me it seems that because that series and the HG Special are comprised of previously released figures, it is unlikely that we will get new figures from HG line. @m5jagdragonpanzeriv - Awesome job on the info. Incredibly informative, as usual! burdocksan - Yes, HG 16 Gohan comes with the clear base with prop. |

I wouldn't try to collect them linearly, because you need to get what few cheap sets still exist before you can't find them cheap anymore. The Zarbon set is still probably the lowest price set still highly available. I almost never end up with the capsules unless the seller has them in the pic. They're basically just garbage anyway, so don't let them influence your buying decision too much. You're better off buying them as a set because individual figures are typically listed for dumb prices like $15 each, and with some patience, good searching, etc. you can get most sets for $25 to $40. I understand the logic behind it and while I'm slowly getting the ones available for cheap at the moment, I'm also keeping an eye out for the old, rare ones and if they ever do come by, they take priority. I don't mind the absence of capsules too but imo, they add a sense of appeal in their very own way and so if it's included, it'll soothe my completist itch!  I'd like to expand a bit on some of those subjects. ....  What's your symbol? I need to wear it on my gi! Those bootlegs make me wary a bit too much.  I wish we had cool turn machines like those here in the USA instead ours have bouncy balls and stick on tattoos lol I'm planning a trip to Tokyo sometime later this year. If it pans out as planned, I know the first place I'll visit.  burdocksan - Yes, HG 16 Gohan comes with the clear base with prop. Thanks again. Just wanted to confirm. |

burdocksan good to see someone else interested in HGs I also had the urge to own every single figure from this line but considering the cost and the number of doubles in the series I have focused on the figures I want most. I'm not sure if any of the sets are rare besides the EX set. Maybe cracker or @m5jagdragonpanzeriv might know? I think for the most part they are readily available online and you can go ahead and purchase them in whatever order you prefer. I always like to get the pamphlets that come with the figures. If you are very concerned about bootlegs having the pamphlet included may give you a sense of comfort. I am very excited about the upcoming HG release! Unfortunately it looks like there won't be any new sculpts, but I will hold out hope. There are still characters I would like to see like Kami. Here is a pic of SS Gohan from HG 16 and some other HGs

At the moment, I'm just dizzy looking at the sheer number of listings out there and the itch to click on the bid/buy it now button is irritating and favorable at the same time |

The last set (HGR) was released in October 2013, so I'm thinking that the Special Movie Edition might be in the last quarter of the year as well.

Looks like the Battle of Gods HG figures are finally getting a release, along with a few Resurrection of F characters. Don't know an official release date, but one site had pre-order with release in September 2015. I still haven't seen anything about the re release of the Cooler Squadron figures, though. Edit: I just read that, as of now, this HG God Edition set is not going to be a regular gashapon release. You have to pre-order the set before June 30 and it goes for ¥7,560, roughly $65.   |
