I couldn't be happier as this is the figure I was hoping for. I refused to overpay for the original because I didn't like the colors, in fact I wouldn't have even bought the original at normal price due to the colors. After everything I'd been reading I didn't think this was gonna happen, so I'm pleasantly surprised. I think he will come with the Special Beam Canon since it's been shown at cons as well as a magazine, which would make him even better.
Piccolo is the one repaint that still needed to be done. Manga Goku and Gohan got repaints, so it stands to reason Piccolo would as well since the original stands out like a sore thumb. After this there will be no need to repaint future figures.
Also keep in mind that Piccolo was released long before this line exploded, and the only way people have been able to get him since then has been on the aftermarket. It makes sense to release Piccolo again now that the line has become highly popular and give people a chance to get him who aren't willing to pay scalper prices.
How do you know it's not part of a two pack? They implied there would be more than one "pack" at SDCC. Power Rangers is getting one of them, DBZ could be getting the other. Normal Goku and Piccolo were shown together with effect parts in a magazine some time ago...
So much for their earlier claim of moving away from repaints...

But Tamashii said that the Sdcc ex would be better than Normal Goku!! A repaint of piccolo is not!
