I wish Bluefin would do what Mezco does. Put up a limited amount of the figures on their online store prior to SDCC and limit them one per person. Its how I got both of their exclusives for this year that I wanted, the Ice Clone Sub Zero figure and the One:12 Collective Batman vs Mutant Leader set. There was no rush, no hassle, they're paid off and I just have to wait for them to ship.

I hate people that say "smh" but..... Complaining because we're finally getting a re-release of Super Saiyan Vegeta (that actually looks better).....? Smh. I already have the original Vegeta and Trunks and they look much better than these. I mean I'm happy that people that don't have em can get em but they leave a lot to be desired especially for supposedly "advanced" repaints. I'm not complaining for the sake of complaining but they do look much cheaper than the originals (less shading, duller paint job for Vegeta). This Goku though hits it out the park. It's damn near perfect. No, they really don't. Trunk's non SS hair looks good on the original version, but both him and Vegeta's SS hair have completely overdone shading that looks bad in every photo i've seen of them. I always hated the white tipped hair, and while there some shots from the anime that show the Super Saiyans with orange shading on parts of their hair, it looks awful on the actual figures. I mentioned before when explaining what went wrong with the infamously fugly SSJ3 Goku figure, the way the characters are shaded and given detail on the show doesn't really translate well on a physical 3D object because they don't actually have an aura that casts light on them, making the shading completely nonsensical. They're better off doing a flatter paint job and let real lighting do the job. They both also have awful shading on their skin, par for how the figures looked in earlier releases and in Vegeta's case makes him look like a jersey guido cosplaying as Vegeta because it's too orange. I'll trade the shading on Vegeta's jumpsuit (along with the weird glossy finish it had) and Trunks' jacket for faces and hair that doesn't look like crap. There's a reason I don't own them, and it's only partially because of the price. If they actually looked good like Saiyan Saga Vegeta, I would have no problem spending $150+. I am currently bidding on a Saiyan Saga Vegeta with a max bid of $145 even though it's loose with no box. I don't expect to win, so i'll probably buy one of the BIN auctions with a box that are going for closer to $200. On topic, this non promotional shot of Awakening Goku shows that they're learning and not blasting aero spray paint in uneven coats to shade them, but doing a far smoother and lighter paint jshading and letting actual light cast shadows and accent the sculpted detail. Broly was a huge step up in this regard too. Stop splitting hairs, the point I was making was quite clear. We begged for it, we got it, no need to complain.

Definitely more of an advancement than the Vegeta and Trunks repaints we're getting. For real, nothing advanced about those guys at all. Glossy lightly shaded hair and inaccurate boot tips for Vegeta smh. I hate people that say "smh" but..... Complaining because we're finally getting a re-release of Super Saiyan Vegeta (that actually looks better).....? Smh.

Hmm. I don't even own Scouter Vegeta, but if it weren't for his leg issues that seem to plague him (the main reason I haven't gotten one since the dude that would have sold it to me for $130 shipped backed out after deciding he wanted to expand his collection rather than sell the two figures he had) he would be number one for sure.
As for ones I own, id say its a toss up between Broly, 17, or 18. They're all perfect.

I'm gunning for two of him. Anything more than that is excessive and only hinders other people trying to get him.

Why are people arguing when its pretty much guaranteed to see a wider release?

Its not a matter of "if" it will see a larger release but "when".
That's why I'm not worried about the current pricing shenanigans, which I totally expected to happen. They're trying to sell them for as much as possible and as quickly as possible.
Really, I'm just excited that we're more than likely to be getting a Goku with those gi colors. I can wait for the normal packaging version, whether it be the SDCC exclusive or as a standard release dubbed "Son Gokou v.2". It will happen.

I bet they're waiting to make sure its not the SDCC exclusive to they can list them for even higher prices. Think about it, if its going to be released again in higher quantity, no one is going to bother with the Mexican version unless they really want the special box.
Then again, one could argue that should only encourage them to sell them at high prices asap.
Who knows.

It probably will be the standard box style for the SDCC release.
Bring it on, I've got $400 set aside for SDCC exclusives! If I end up passing on the Marvel Legends set (people already want $300 for it and its going to a be a popular set, so I probably will) I'm gonna go for two Gokus.

gotenks, 6 lol. Two for display and the other four for the boot tips. Seeing as how they're not compatible with Vegeta feet pegs in pics, I've decided to just keep em mint and hold on to em for a while. Oh well What country do you live in? I might be willing to buy one off you if the shipping price will be cheaper than BBTS' since i'm not going to have anything in my PoL for another month and I don't want to wait that long for my second Vegetto.

..... Yes, the super limited release that none of us had access to makes it unqualified as a new mold/release.
What.
