You know, I had an overly long and sarcastic response to your complaints, but I don't feel like starting anything so ill just get straight to my point:
You're going through what every fandom ever goes through. The inevitable "I hate that my hobby/interest is becoming popular!" Phase.
That's it. If it makes you feel better, some of the moderators actually advertise the site on other boards, so there's a partial explanation as to why there's more new users coming around.
-------------------------------------------
On topic, SDCC is only five days away, so we should all be excited about getting to see the upcoming releases on display. Hopefully we'll get some info about Super Buu. Really want to know if they're separate releases

I'd would only get a second Vegeta if I had a base Vegeta head to go with it. Maybe that will be next years SDCC exclusive...Mexican / Frieza Saga Vegeta. Base form, and the dark blue tights Get a Scouter Vegeta and use the second head that doesn't have the tab for the scouter. Its what I'm doing.

Their customer service is excellent though. When Toyz puts their orders up, ill switch to them like I usually do. Can't beat free shipping imo.

Never! I've held out against SSJ3 Goku from the EX line and several of the statues from the regular Zero line for this long, not even that gorgeous Super Buu will persuade me!

Wow the sculpt and paint on that Super Buu is amazing.
Still, I'm trying to stay away form the Zero line and sticking with the articulated versions.

Yeah, I went ahead and secured two despite my gripes with their shipping prices.

Same here. $11 per figure for 5 day delivery isn't worth it. I paid $17 to ship SHF Darth Vader with his big ass pre order bonus and Figma Solid Snake from HLJ and it got here in a few days. Would've been half the price if the box for the pre order bonus weren't so big.
Edit: Actually, I went ahead and ordered two from Nippon Yasan. My reasoning for it is because they have a pay later option that doesn't require a payment method at the time of ordering. I pay when I want, if I want, not when it ships. In the event that I can't get two secured from Toyzindabox or BigBadToyStore when their pre orders go up, I have these on the back burner ready to be paid for. If I do get them from my preferred channels, I can simply not pay and according to their policy, they will automatically get cancelled 15 days after they send a billing reminder.
Given that he includes an extra set of hands over the original release, and he sold out pretty quickly on Tamashii's site, I don't want to take any chances. Need two. One to display as is, one to stick Scouter Vegeta's extra head on.

Yeah, if you use too much just let it dry and scrape/chip away what you can with your finger nail or the tip of a knife or something.

Im so disappointed with the ending of RoF that I might not even buy it when it does get dubbed. Toriyama dropped the ball with the characters again.

I'm expecting to drop any where from $80 to $120 for it, based off of what I saw with Vegeta last year. Then again its a paint job with much higher demand, so it might sell out much faster than Vegeta did.

But that's the thing, its a convention exclusive. You can argue that the original Trunks was better than SDCC Goku, but the exclusivity of it was what determined the price and not what it included.
You used to pay a premium for an exclusive paint job, now you're paying it for a new sculpt and paint job.

Considering they're $60 at the actual convention, don't even hope to get them for less than that.

Anyone know where I can get the variant of Bandai's Dragon Ball Styling Young Goku with the blue gi, nimbus, and power pole? I got the regular version off of Ami Ami for $8, but the only place I ever saw the variant listed was on BBTS and it sold out really quickly.
