Pre-orders are up for the Androids and Omen Goku in about six minutes.

I’ve got two Omen Goku’s in my cart, as well as one of each of the Androids. Can’t check out though. Keep getting the error page.

And they’re sold out. Awesome. I can’t express how much I fucking hate exclusives. It’s a trend that has GOT TO STOP.


So, I just kept spamming the confirmation button over and over again, waiting until it kicked me back to the “orders are concentrated“ notification page. Eventually, it let me process a paypal payment. Almost an hour and a half later.

Around 8:35 pm central time I had made it to the confirmation step. It took until 9:50 to finally get to a PayPal processing page. My order is in and I have the two Omen Goku figures and both Androids, but good god I am not doing this again. Not even if it’s a Premium Color SSJ3 Goku or Majin Vegeta. I’ll just ebay the shit.

Oh you got two Gokus? I was thinking about doing that but opted out. I'm sure there will be another damaged Goku in the future. Did you get a confirmation email? I didn't. I do have it in my orders page with a order number.

Never mind, my email just came through. Thank Christ, I don't want to do this again. I had thought this was going to interfere with me playing Ghost of Tsushima tonight.

Yeah, I had to get two. The way I’m doing my collection display is through various group shots and notable fight scenes from the entirety of Dragon Ball. So, you need two or three of some characters. I’ll have three Piccolos, three Kaioken Gokus, three Broly figures, etc, etc.

I never got an email from pbandai. Just my PayPal email notifications. The order is in my history though.

They’re all three sold out now. They really should have done this in three seperate waves. And just added on the same allocated amount each time.

To hell with people who want something for its value. You should be buying this garbage because you want it, not because it will make you some money on the side.

I hope we get a new Saiyan Saga Goku, specifically Kaioken x3. Damaged Vegeta too.
Didn’t someone tease a damaged TOP Vegeta a while back? Looks like a SSJB Evolved too.

Completely agree. I hope they make a ripped Kaioken Goku from the Saiyan Saga and a battle-damaged Vegeta too. We also need a regular release of SSJ battle-damaged Goku with the blue shirt and one where both layers are gone. They have the basic concept in place now, with the two Ultra Instinct figures.

They were allowing up to 24 per person. Fucking retarded.
Wow, I didn’t even pay attention to that. I can understand that on the regular releases, because merchants are buying from them—with a wholesale discount, I would hope. However, these should have been limited to two each the moment the placeholder pages went up weeks ago. Dumbasses.

Shirtless Kaioken buff giga chad Goku is so overdue. It seems like SS3 Gotenks is coming too from a quote of his they posted.

Someone mentioned it on Twitter. Scalpers need to be scalped.

You can’t even collect the Neca TMNT stuff right now. It’s impossible. Your only option is literally ebay. Or if you live in a place with REALLY good toy isles.

Recalling a few years back, I lucked out on Day 3 of the original online offering of the Neca SDCC TMNT Movie Turtles set, but I haven’t had any luck with anything from their TMNT toy lines since. This reminded me a LOT of that shitty ass experience.

Crap like this completely takes the fun out of collecting. I wish these companies would stop doing exclusives.

It used to be that you could skip the Figuarts Dragon Ball exclusives. It’s getting harder and harder to do so. They’re adding pivotal versions of characters and reissues that people need for their collection.

Now, I’ve missed my fair share of exclusives. Most of the time I just brush it off and move on. I missed out on the Neca John Connor and I’ve missed some of the Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black Series exclusives (although, you can generally get many of the later two on eBay, with proper timing), but when it starts to get my blood boiling is when it’s something from the Neca TMNT or Figuarts Dragon Ball lines, because you WILL pay an arm and a leg on the secondary market for them.

I’ve read the horrors of the frontline ordering Turtle stuff, I’m glad I’m not into it like that anymore. I never even bought their Shredder.

I got the SDCC Turtles for retail and I snagged the bundle of Shredder and Splinter and the two foot soldiers at GameStop when they went up for pre-order.

I have had no luck with anything else. I had to haggle with a merchant to get Rocksteady and Bebop for $80 and Casey Jones and Raph was the same way. I managed to get someone down to $90, but the majority of people will not budge lower than $100 for that set. It’s ridiculous. There’s no other way to get it either. The target here isn’t a super Target and the toy isle is garbage. Walmart is no better.
