Guys, please calm down and don't spend too much on these figures. This happens every year. Random eBay sellers start selling preorders (which most of them are unable to fullfil) and the figures end up settling at a lower price around the time of the convention.
Think about how many tour stops the Dragon Ball Tour has announced. They need enough exclusives to distribute at every stop of the tour. These figures are going to be made en masse and when they flood the market, the law of "supply and demand" will equalize the price to something much more reasonable.
This happened last year when they had several exclusives for the tour. None of those figures are selling for crazy sums, even today. Save your money, control your emotions, buy smart.

Fortunately the time limit to open a dispute with PayPal is 180 days - or just about 6 months. But, I still agree with the sentiment. Pre-ordering event exclusives can turn out either way; I've both had orders fulfilled successfully and cancelled last minute over the years for non-Figuarts items.
Sometimes event exclusives make their way to smaller conventions later on, too. At Acen (Anime Central Midwest) this year, Tamashii had the white effect parts and Goku's Power Pole from last year.

I...wow. I expected it, but this soon and this much? The sad thing is someone out there will likely pay for that. I got it with a best offer of $580. That's about $145 a figure. Yikes... You should have held off and waited. I would imagine the Goku Black will be the only one of the 4 that fetches a $145 price tag after the conventions. The rest of them should be right around $100 or maybe even a little less depending on the volume made. The only reason why Broly and Vegito Blue from last year are worth so much is because 1) Broly.... that figure is just amazing and super high end and 2) It's Vegito Blue (an actual new character and not a basic recolor). Kid Goku and Frieza are just straight recolors... Gohan will be worth a bit more because its Ultimate Gohan with a SS head. Goku Black will be high in demand regardless of the comments about him looking like a bootleg. I would say if you can get the set for about $400 - $450... you should lock it down. Just my opinion. I'd be curious to see what others have to say.

The Ebay listing says a refund will be given if the figures aren't obtained.

I'd be curious to see what others have to say. I'm going to be at SDCC this year, and I'll probably pick them all up, because iono... they're "exclusive". I will admit, however, that I would be super saiyan stupid to buy all four; I'm not even a completionist and I think these recent rainbow transformations other than yellow look stupid on display.

Hi everyone! Im new to this forum. I'm really excited to join here. I just started to collect S.H. figuarts so if ll like this will be the perfect place for me to discuss with others about S.H. figuarts Dragon ball. I'm also really looking forward to this year's NYCC. I hope to pick up some of the exclusives most particulry Goku black because i'm not going to pay $200 for goku black right now and golden frieza because I was considering buying one off Ebay but after seeing that he's going to be one of this year's exclusives I just decided to wait until comic con though. Still not sure on ultimate gohan though. Still I really hope to see some prototypes personally for me Kid goten and Kid Trunks, Raditz and Dabura

Really dissapointed in this years exclusives, seems they get worse every year honestly, I do like the golden frieza better than the regular one. I like the other goku black better, but this will be good for people who haven't gotten him yet. Goku and gohan are meh to me. I want some GT characters
