Other than begging someone who is attending is there a site that usually gets the SDCC Exclusives for this line? I don't want to miss Vegeta.

amazon and bbts n few others get some

 

[lerath666]

amazon and big bad toy store. Tamashii SDCC figures are generaly not hard to get for several months after the con.

 

[blood]

yeah, it's just cheaper to get it at the con

 

[lerath666]

Not allways. Amazon generaly sells them for the same they were sold for at the con, and so does teh Bluefin/tamashii online store. generaly you will have 3-4 months before the reasonably priced SDCC figures from tamashii dry up. not till november will the prces start to get terribly stupid.

this is becuase Tamashii makes HUGE runs of their Exlusive figures.

Thanks everyone, time to bug my SoCal cousin and then watch Amazon and BBTS too. You guys rock!

Galactus? Galactus isn't evil at all from what I know, in fact, clearly Beerus is Galactus, a necessary destructor who keeps the galaxy in balance (or so is what I know from Beerus thus far).

AT one point galactus dies and it turns out he's necessary for the balance in life (right? Haven't read that arc myself). Galactus is also very intelligent.

Buu is solely about destruction though, and he does kinda "hunger" so I get the initial idea of it.

I'd still say Cell is Brainiac. Broly is doomsday, Frieza is just a tyrant so any tyrant would do. Maybe Buu is closer to Thanos in a way... Even though thanos is the darkseid copy.

I was thinking more in line with power. if you want personality, instead of power level?

Buu is the Joker.

Death, destruction, and carnage just for the sheer, simple joy of it? Joker is buu, and Buu is joker.

Of course, now I realise, Kid Buu is Professor Chaos!

Creamy pink goo!

well in piccolo's case that's not true. at the con he was 40, everywhere else it was 60

 

[Silrian]

Typical Blood, for the first time I've arranged my display same way as you, heroes - villains.

And Reg Goku and my second piccolo separately.

Piccolo was 40 at the con!? **** ME MAN! I'd have bought 4 probably.

Yes but also take into consideration the cost of entering the con lol

dude seriously. split the price of the enterence with all of the stuff you buy there and you get what?? 5 bucks may go to piccolo

 

[lerath666]

Piccolo also wasn't on amazon, but he WAS 40 on the tamashii web store.

pics man!

 

[Silrian]

I'll get some when I've dusted my shelf for once. And have perfected the poses a bit.

I like it a lot more than I thought lol. now the twins will be the direct divide between good and evil as my setup is horizontal!

And a seperate non era-bound spot for what I consider the two main characters of the franchise as a whole: Goku and Piccolo.

 

[abouttreefitty]

When did you place preorder? Has anyone received Android 18 from Amazon yet? Iirc Someone on the thread said they got a shipping soon notice

My amazon delivery date was just updated to July 16th.

 

[FSLAR]

At NYCC, Piccolo was $60 before tax, everywhere at the con at that. Tamashii's official booth and so on but some booths had a higher tax or slightly higher initial price.

Thanks! Just ordered from them! Also nabbed Scouter Vegeta. They have him the lowest I've seen anywhere.

I need to get another Frieza too. He's slowly going up in price...

 

[Silrian]

Cool to see another board vet getting heavy in this line Bar!

Could somebody do me a massive solid hard masenko of a favor and post a picture of figuarts zero vegeta and goku side by side, and if possible, put the effect pieces of goku on vegeta?

That'd be grand...

 

[Bardoon]

Hah Thanks!

I've always been a Dragon Ball Z fan. I lived overseas in Southeast Asia in the 90's and for us kids it was ALL about DBZ. We collected DBZ cards (mostly counterfeits, well-made ones too, but some kids had original Japanese ones) and played a hands-on card game that involved flipping cards in order to "challenge" for another kid's card that you wanted. Got my Super Battle Collection figures there (that have long since been donated to charity) and even a few other unique DBZ toys (like rubber "Muscle Man"-like DBZ figures found in snack packs). I "read" the manga but had to have my Thai friends translate it for me. And I watched enough of the anime to understand what was going on.

It actually wasn't until I got older that I was able to buy the DVDs and watch it all the way through. The most recent DBZ merchandise I bought (besides the DVDs) was the Medicom regular and SSJ Goku's and some of the video games (Like Budokai Tenkaichi and Raging Blast). I got rid of my Medicoms when I sold a vast majority of my 1/6th collection a few years ago.

Saw the Figuarts SSJ3 Goku about a year or so ago and that's when they first piqued my interest. Never had I seen "good" DBZ figures. I was never really impressed by Bandai's work. They did some decent sculpts but either the articulation or paints sucked. Other toy companies didn't do much and I wasn't into getting statues (though some looked fantastic). Glad I finally decided to pull the trigger and give Figuarts a chance. They are REALLY well sculpted, well-made and extremely well-painted. I'm no recent DBZ fan by any means! But I am new to DBZ Figuarts and I'm lovin' them!
