Cancelled my order and got him from Eknight media. Arrives later this month, I think? Hope they're good.

Why is he so expensive already? You would think he was a SDCC exclusive. I didn't plan on getting him because I'm not a big fan of Goku Black, and SH Figuarts on average is too expensive already in my opinion. I think someone said in this topic that Goku Black has low availability, but if true, that is surprising.

I specifically googled multiple times if eKnightmedia.com is trustworthy and yes was the unanimous answer. Now they're being sketchy and I can't even cancel my order and just get him off Amazon because he's over a freaking hundred bucks. I think I'm done with Tamashii and their crap. Low availability? Seriously.

Ohhh, nevermind, then. I guess I was just being paranoid. I assumed they would still have him, just with "Sold Out" somewhere.

EKnight Media is fine. I've pre-ordered 3 times from them and everything went through fine.
The low stock for Goku Black is BS. He's just in high demand.

I just realized something. With the picture of a DBS Future Trunks shown, it will be a bit odd for me to collect DBS Trunks but not Goku Black. Dang, now I wish I had pre-ordered him before he costed 150 dollars. Do you guys think Goku Black's price will drop in the not too distant future? I'm hoping they will get a higher stock for Goku Black, and that will drop the price. I won't get my hopes up though; SH Figuarts is pricey on average but the more expensive figures stay expensive (or get more expensive).

Yeah, that was what I figured. So, I'm SOL with this Goku Black figure since I'm not paying an atrocious amount for one figure (I already did for SDCC Broly over a year ago and that was hard enough; won't do again).

I have no idea why Tamashii made him a web exclusive. It's Goku Black. Of course he's gonna sell. It's grimey to me that they did that. It annoys me in general considering they release these figures monthly and make half of them web exclusives, screwing over people that can't spend 70 bucks a month on this line. But yeah, unless you see him in a comic book store or some place you might be out of luck. I expect him to shoot up more than SSB Goku.

I forgot it was a web exclusive since I only recently started keeping up with this line again. Yeah, I'm tempted to say that making it a web exclusive is robbery so the price skyrockets. They should have made Goku Black a regular release, and especially considering that he has many fans. Also, this isn't some color variation of a character, so why make it an exclusive of some kind? I have also had a serious problem with the SDCC exclusives too; anime colored Piccolo? Really?

Anyone know about a website called Otakupowers? I haven't heard of them before but they seem to still have him in stock.
