They don't constantly re-release figures though do they? And Gotenks is sold out but imo I'd prefer waiting for figures to be re-released if I miss out on them for any reason rather than having to buy something immediately or pay $150+ later on. Also Bulma's probably still available because even though it's the first Bulma figure, it's a terrible outfit that most people don't want. Compare it to a release like Black that sold out pretty fast to the point where peoples orders were getting cancelled and he shot up into well over 100 bucks. Then you look at a figure like SS3 Goku that is sitting nicely an 70 bucks. All the web exclusivity stuff seems to do is make it so that the figures start off more expensive and get even more expensive as time goes on. That isn't the reason Bulma is still available. It's because orders are still being accepted by premium bandai until June 20th: p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000124309/?_ga=2.50529706.260176111.1528266432-991529030.1481183589It was the same with Black. Regardless of popularity, Black's Japan pre-orders were open for almost 5 months. I know because I remember checking NY for weeks even after the premium bandai deadline, and then watched the remaining stock slowly dwindle down. You are right about re-releases though, where is Beerus, SSJ Trunks, SSJ Vegeta or SSJ3 Goku re-releases. They haven't materialised even though they are all possible. I can understand for people who like to wait until release/re-release to get their figures, but for people who like to secure there's day one and stress free, webshop exclusives are much better. I remember having a nightmare trying to get SSJ3 Goku after pre-orders sold out first day. Took me days until I found a seller on Rakuten Japan with stock who was willing to ship international. You don’t really seem to be naming any sort of positive about making the figures exclusives, though. You said something about about ordering yours day one, but that’s about it. Don’t get it since people who pre-ordered Black (another exclusive) were getting their pre-orders cancelled anyways. And I mean I guess there’s nothing wrong with someone going “Welp, sucks for you that you couldn’t get it nerd”, not everybody who wants to get every release can every day. These are 60-70 dollar figures getting released every month. Also even if it doesn’t get released, the price still doesn’t skyrocket usually after a non-exclusive gets released. I’m glad you’re happy with pre-ordering yours earlier but there’s still a lot of people that can end up missing out because they don’t want to pay 200 bucks to scalpers for their favorite character. |

I do but I don't know that there's much to stress about there, Tamashii seem to have just given up on the line completely :/ Unlike Black, there weren't any problem figures in that line at all despite most of them being exclusives. Everything was available long after release. And being comfortable NOT pre-ordering (a mistake I will no longer make with anything I definitely want) is what screwed me and most others with Black. I sure hope the Naruto line isn't dead seeing as there are still so many unexplored options and the line was starting to look great. If Figuarts Zero Dragonball re-emerges every so often, I don't see why SHF Naruto can't. It’s not just not-preordering btw. Someone can just discover the line and then start trying to get their favorite characters and see them all being sold for way more then their starting price, and they’re SOL since it’s gonna stay that way for a long time. |

Random thing:
Krillin has big energy.
Trunks has big energy.
Both have 4 faces.
Do you think the SS Rage face will come with Fused Zamasu?

That’s what it means to be a collector. You were there when it happened or you weren’t. |

That’s what it means to be a collector. You were there when it happened or you weren’t. Yeah, I disagree. Also doesn't seem like a great way to keep people around to keep buying. I also buy these because I like them, not because I wanna sell them for overblown prices. Also that's not exactly what it means to be a collector, lol. As I said, if you have the mentality of "You snooze you lose, chump.", that's your right, I disagree tho. |

I keep missing Black and it's pissing me off so much more than if they were just all gone and I didn't have one. I saw it in stock AGAIN, added to cart immediately, logged in to check out and 15 seconds later it's already gone. How frickin fast do I need to be??? I don't need to keep reliving this crap over and over and still not get one.

I would have bought it at $80-100, by the time it happened they were in the $120+ range, which is crap. I'm still hoping to get one (or two, really) from BBTS for $90, but I keep missing it by seconds apparently. Also, I'm wondering if bluefin will have any ay their booth at Anime Expo, so I'd at least like to hold out until then. Sometimes they don't charge full-blown scalper prices even if they are still inflated. |

I don't need to keep reliving this crap over and over and still not get one. Same here, I got one through MANDARAKE but I'm planning to buy a second one for different transformations. (Base form and SS Rose) I would get it for MSRP, but not for 120 dollars lol |
