Same. But you know, there are some of those "exclusive freaks" out there!

I can understand everyone's point of view in regards to not caring about exclusivity, but as a collector I love the exclusives. I buy figures simply because I like them, the SBCs aren't very rare and are my favorites. But I also buy figures because of their rarity and value. Different strokes, I suppose.

I've never been one to care about exclusivity. They could make enough for the entire population to have 10 of them, and I 'd still be happy. Me neither. I definitely understand exclusivity but I couldn't care less about it and I feel it ruins specific lines, especially this line. I'm used to it with comic books, action figures, statues, and etc. Although, it's understandable in those lines because there's so many options. First print, variants, and etc. I'm not buying these figures hoping the value will rise so one day I can sell them or just to collect because it's rare, I'm buying these figures because they're high quality figures from Dragon Ball Z. When a company refuses to gain more profits by supplying the demand and decides to make everything exclusive to a select, pleased, few it just boggles my mind on how that type of business ethnic is acceptable.

I'm surprised they started with Vegito right away if they're going to focus on the Buu Saga. You would assume Majin Vegeta and Super Saiyan 2 Goku would come out long before him.

They said it'd be an exclusive figure and so it remains one.

Integrity by following through with their commitments to an exclusive figure. If you want it bad enough, work for it and buy it. I'm sorry you missed out on certain figures when they were cheap, I'm sure the manufacturer is too. But they'd be alienating a fan base that trusted them to stick to their commitment to a truly exclusive figure. I don't like that I missed out on some of the figures in this line when they were more affordable, but I'm dealing with it like an adult and saving my pennies. There's no reason why anyone else can't do this. I suppose we should all take this lesson to heart and try to buy a figure when it's released so we don't end up paying a premium later.

There's many alternatives for most of the expensive figures. Manga Gohan should be re-released because that was never part of their exclusive ideology, similar to Manga Piccolo and Manga Super Saiyan Goku. SDCC Goku is pretty cool and would be awesome to have in any collection but I actually enjoy the colors of Manga Super Saiyan Goku a lot better. I understand the exclusiveness of that though because it's SDCC. DaTong Vegeta is pretty freaking amazing for a bootleg at $28 for a $200+ figure. His price amazes me the most because he barely comes with any accessories but it goes to show you that the character is in such a high demand. Trunks is really the one that would be difficult to get without any alternatives. I understand that though because you're really getting two versions of him with so many accessories but it's quite difficult to come up with the money.

Well, i doubt vegoto will be the first release. Because i read so many posts talking about how they are making a buu, so if anything i feel like they'll push vegito back a little.

I've read many of those posts as well but I would assume that they would have announced something at SDCC. Maybe they were using Vegito to hype the line up? I know by the end of the year, we should know who the next release is.

Majin Buu was never actually confirmed. There were hints that he would follow Android 17 in the line, but those rumours have been put to rest with Android 16 and Broly confirmed for the next two slots in the line. Personally, I think Vegito makes sense. Of course, I would prefer to get an Ultimate Gohan or Majin Vegeta myself, and so would everyone else, but they want this line to last. Vegito will sell because he's a Saiyan and a fusion character. He won't sell as well as Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, or Buu, probably, but I don't see why they would want to get their heavy hitters out of the way, first. It makes more sense to release both semi-popular characters and popular characters, so that people will stay interested. Integrity by following through with their commitments to an exclusive figure. If you want it bad enough, work for it and buy it. I'm sorry you missed out on certain figures when they were cheap, I'm sure the manufacturer is too.

As much as I normally agree with you, today I disagree fully. I get the whole thing behind exclusives and for whatever reason some collect just to have what most others can't. (Ego stroke? I don't know.) But as somebody relatively new to the line, knowing I'd have to pay $250+ for a Trunks or Gohan? They're MAIN characters in the line. That's utterly ridiculous. Save that for SDCC releases and obscure characters and I wouldn't mind. But I want to have a full set of Z fighters and it appears at the moment I won't be able to do that. Besides my girlfriend would crucifix me if I bought an action figure for $250, that and I'd probably have trouble sleeping at night.
