BBTS has Frieza on pre-order status again. There are other sources I found that have him for pre-order as well with some being sold out. Has anyone had success buying from OtakuPowers.com? Goku Black is available there for $53.30. Their release date however is May 31st. DO NOT order from OtakuPowers. I ordered Figuarts Goku Black 10 days ago, they charged me and haven't done anything since. I have sent 16 emails so far to cancel and refund my order and I haven't heard a single peep from them. It's a scam site, a lot of people think it's the same guys as AnimePoko Same. Sent emails no reply. They're actually animepoko.com which was recently shutdown do to numerous BBB complaints. I just have to wait 30 days after my invoice purchase date and submit a charge back with my bank. Should be no problem for a refund.

Well since no one on here seems to know what is going on I’ll spill the beans. Bandai just informed bluefin That production has been cut for frieza, majin vegeta, and Roshi. As of right now everyone will be affected by this and allocation to the US has been cut by roughly one third. So the next 3 releases will be much harder to get. Because of this many sellers has closed their pre orders because they are not sure how many they are getting. Hope this clears things up. Sources?? Here's your sourceThis was mentioned by Ageless Geeks and Toyco, smaller retail shops but they're reliable and trustworthy.

I’m interested in the reason behind the cuts. Focus on Marvel?

Here's your sourceThis was mentioned by Ageless Geeks and Toyco, smaller retail shops but they're reliable and trustworthy. Thank you for finding that. I knew there would be doubters at first but some shop would have broke the news sooner or later, I just wanted to let people know on the forums here so they can try and secure the figures before it was all gone. I also had texts from my source from Thursday but did not feel the need to post those on here for proof. I will keep posting new updates as soon as I find out so everyone who is active here gets a little bit of advantage as far as what is going on.

Amazon just canceled my Goku Black order the day it was supposed to arrive. Had it preordered since October. Thanks amazon I’ll politely go screw myself.

Anyone else order Frieza from Nippon Yasan? It was released almost 2 weeks ago, but my order still hasn't been processed for shipping.
I just dropped them a mail. Hoping it's just a delay due to Golden Week.

I always stick to eBay when picking up my new figures
I only order from sellers or places that have them in hand. I hate doing pre-orders because I hate to have to pay for something up front only for there to be a chance it’s canceled
So not only do I not get my figure but I also miss out on possible deals thinking I already had one locked down
If you check frequently enough you’ll be able to find what you want for the price you want
Was able to get my Goku Black for $80 shipped
I have my Frieza I ordered for $56 shipped that should be arriving any day now as well

Interesting. I missed the first round of pre-orders, but managed to grab it a few days later when they put it back up. I have faith in N-Y, so fingers crossed I hear good news soon. As far as Majin Vegeta is concerned, I have him pre-ordered as well, but right now my display is full with Saiyan/Namek/Android figures, so no room for Buu Saga. Maybe if I get a second display case when Buu arrives i'll open them all (SSJ3 Goku, Majin Vegeta & Buu). As far as Goku Black is concerned, i'm still waiting for confirmation on DB Super Future Trunks before I commit. Right now he is still a stand alone release as far as i'm concerned and not worth the beans.

That seems so bizarre. I can maybe understand Vegeta and Roshi (We recently had a Super Saiyan Vegeta figure and Roshi isn't exactly super popular) but Frieza is arguably the most popular villain in the entire series... Were the pre-order numbers just not high enough? This had nothing to do with pre-order numbers or anything like that. I’m interested in the reason behind the cuts. Focus on Marvel? No. Lots of 'no' but does anyone know what the actual reason for the production cut is then? Seems strange to cut production on something that was likely to sell quite well unless they have some specific reason.
