Well this is going to be interesting.
>>5706137
Worst pat is that it doesn't even have an end time. We have no idea when it goes back up.
>>5706137
Fuuuuuck
>>5706140
Something must be really wrong with their servers. In translating the Japanese there was a mention of "emergency maintenance".
>>5706145
I'm pretty sure that about a week ago or so they had it in their announcements on the main page that there would be maintenance today.
>>5706164
That was on the 23th, a regular maintenance. Has nothing to do with this one.
Also noticed the shit posters on this thread are gone. Glad the mods are doing their job.
Up on HLJ. Go!
>>5706149
>4,420 yen at HS
Wow... cheaper than AmiAmi. IIRC, before the maintenance, AmiAmi had it listed for 4,770 yen (15% off), limit 1 per order.
>>5706174
Trunks was also cheaper at hlj.
>>5706174
Amiami's been reducing their preorder discount for a while now. I've noticed the best you'll normally get is 15%, whereas it used to be 20-25%.
Got my Vegeta order in at Amiami, easy peasy. I glad they didn't have any marvel figuarts go up this month to clog up the servers.
>>5706168
*Important Notice: Starting time of "Bandai Collectors" pre-orders
Opening of pre-orders for 18 "Bandai Collectors" products are pushed back to 18:00 Japan time. Please note that it may be further delayed.
Just saw that the orders are now pushed back to 18:00 Japan time.
>>5706189
>Got my Vegeta order in at Amiami
>at Amiami
How? Its down for maintenance.
>>5706189
Lies.
>>5706186
Depends on the items, if it's potentially high-demand or popular items, they will have lower discounts. AmiAmi are generally greedy money mongers who likes to maximize profits whenever possible in any way. Fuck, they even charge tax for international buyers.
>>5706190
Well, good thing tomorrow is my day off.
This also should mean maintenance should be done before then.
>>5706190
Guess I'm glad to usually be up until dawn. Though ironically I wanted to get to bed once done with pre-ordering.
Got my order in, whew! That went fast.
>>5706199
>they even charge tax for international buyers
Really? Is it was factored into the total cost or do you pay extra?
Just made an account on hlj to order. Went through but still no email confirmation nor does it show up in history.
Damn these janky ass cardboard servers.
>>5706208
Factored in with the total cost. They just masked the tax with their high "discount", hoping that stupid gaijins won't notice it.
>>5706211
It usually takes about 5-10min to show up. I know, it's nerve-racking Drink some water and refresh your email.
Pretty sure price has always been slightly cheaper with HLJ and other sites over amiami, but with the shipping, it usually evens out, IIRC.
>>5706219
Amiami used to be the cheapest in every aspect. The only thing they have now over the competition is slightly lower shipping per item but HLJ's private warehouse feature pretty makes that a non-issue if you're ordering more than one item.
>>5706219
SHF, Revoltech, and certain other lines: yes
But not with figma line; HLJ usually charges full MSRP (minus the tax).
>>5706222
That said, HLJ does have more restrictions on quantity for high demand items which (rightfully) helps turn away scalpers.
HA! Order Stop at HLJ & Hobby Search. Good thing I got mine in just in time, and cheaper than AmiAmi as well. Now time to witness all the madness at AmiAmi at 1800 JST, and drink all the bitter tears.
>waiting for NY
>refreshing like crazy
>Vegeta appears
>immediately sold out
WOULD YOU STOP ONLY STOCKING 5 FIGURES YOU FUCKING DIPSHIT MORONS
>>5706252
>>5706222
>>5706219
>>5706211
I'll be laughing my fuckin ass off when you get an email in October saying
"We're sorry but we aren't sure when your item will be in stock. You can cancel your order now or wait and see if it is restocked at a later date."
Just gonna wait for bluefin. There's going to be tons of these.
>>5706267
If that happens, I still have my HobbySearch AND Nippon-Yasan orders. HLJ is my backup bitch. What am I going to do with the extras? Scalp the shit out of them to slowfags! DOUBLE HA!
>mfw living in a backwards ass countrywhere this shit isnt even remotely popular
>backwards ass action figure shop has newest figuarts in stock for months before they come even remotely to going out of stock
>>5706272
>Bluefin
Right..... for 'murican buyers. Aren't they notorious for months of delays, cancellations, limited stock, and, fuck ups?
>>5706267
That never happens with amiami, dimwit.
>>5706284
No, hes saying it happens with HLJ, dimwit
Are you guys still F5'ing on AmiAmi?
>>5706284
Basic reading comprehension.
>>5706274
So you're a troll who couldn't even get one. Sucks to be you.
>>5706280
They've had literally every dbz figuarts available about a month after japanese release in copious volume.
There's been zero issue getting bluefin releases.
>>5706292
Basic reading comprehension.
>>5706294
>There's been zero issue getting bluefin releases.
There is if you're not in America
>>5706267
To my knowledge that only happened once, maybe twice, with orders that opened just before/around release. I've personally never had an issue since I usually get my preorders in early.
Has anyone had this problem, or can share exact circumstances of what happened?
2 minutes to go until 6pm JST, but probably will take longer since Ami is still down.
>>5706257
>5 of today's Bandai items are in the best selling list already
>all of them are still available for preorder
>Vegeta isn't in the best selling list and is sold out
I'm not even sure they had any. These guys are fucking retards.
Ugh.
>Opening of pre-orders for 18 "Bandai Collectors" products are pushed back to 19:00 Japan time. Please note that it may be further delayed.
Fuck.
>>5706310

>Opening of pre-orders for 18 "Bandai Collectors" products are pushed back to 19:00 Japan time. Please note that it may be further delayed.
Son of a bitch.... WTF is going on?!
>>5706310
Updated, it is now pushed to 1900 JST.
>>5706296
Maybe then it doesn't apply to you?
Maybe me saying I'm going to do something doesn't have to be about you?
If it gets pushed to 7am EST I'm just gonna say "fuck it" and get some sleep before work.
Did anyone else catch a glimpse? It's already "Sold Out". Tried refreshing it, and I get that "Maintenance Notice" again. Are they letting the Japanese buyers having the first dip?
>>5706330
Both sites are down but the preorders did open for a few seconds before the maintenance and Vegeta did sell out during that time (I don't know about the rest, I only tried to get Vegeta).
>>5706333
>preorders did open for a few seconds before the maintenance and Vegeta did sell out during that time
Jesus...
>>5706267
Don't be ignorant. If you get a preorder in when it first goes up you are fine. The only time preorders don't get fulfilled with HLJ are when people get in an order when they reopen preorders later.
Unfulfilled orders with major releases rarely happens anymore.
>>5706322
Well goodnight then.
>Opening of pre-orders for the 18 "Bandai Collectors" products will be pushed back to 21:00 Japan time. We apologize for the inconvenience.
>Opening of pre-orders for the 18 "Bandai Collectors" products will be pushed back to 21:00 Japan time. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Fuck this, I'm going to bed
>>5706337
Nope. It's happened to me three times before. You don't know shit homie. Sorry. Goodluck with your order though. I do hope you get what you ordered.
>>5706342
I also had this happen.
They cancelled one item from an order of 3 from the preorder and it wiped the whole order out.
Never got any of those figures...
21:00.... Five fucking hours later. And I get the feeling it'll be pushed back even more.
This is ridiculous.
>>5706342
What did you order that got cancelled?
>[18:30 Update]
>Opening of pre-orders for the 18 "Bandai Collectors" products will be pushed back to 01/07/2016 16:00 Japan time. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Vegeta is up at Anime-Export.
w00t! AmiAmi is backed up! Time to crash it again!
That was easy. Good night
And got my Vegeta
Done and done. Glad I set that 7:50am alarm. Goodnight.
>5 Vegetas
I'm set.
>all these faggots using phones
Kill yourself.
>>5706431
What would you even make off that? $100 max?
>>5706432
>implying it isn't easier to get orders in on the mobile site because the site has less traffic
Stay mad faggot
I'm gonna chance it with HLJ since I already got stuff in warehouse that month. I might regret it, but hey I'm not made of money...
Since these aren't web exclusives, the aftermarket prices will not be as high as the first Vegeta release. These will most likely be rereleased in the future. Enjoy your multiple Vegeta's, scalper scum.
>>5706435
>implying that's 2 different sites with 2 different hostings
It's the same site using the same databases with a different .css you fucking idiot.
>>5706446
>I'm butthurt because I didn't get a pre-order
Fixed that for ya.
>>5706446
I hope you're right because this is giving me bad deja vu from the initial release of Awakening Goku.
>>5706451
Why should he be butthurt? It's still up last I checked a minute ago.
>>5706472
Doesn't Gohan and Piccolo get reissued every 6 months or so?
>>5706472
Because the line tanked early on and they never bothered to reissue. Until they did when the line picked back up. They just reissued the awakening goku, too.
Good luck, coalburner.
>>5706472
Where are you selling these at $100 each?
>>5706473
They did but inbetween the reissues, the prices went up.
>>5706478
Reissues only bring the price down for a short period . I sold two Gohan for about 300 each after the first reissue and I made about $150 with Awakening Gokus like three weeks after its release.
Whether you like it or not, people are retards and will pay crazy prices for anything that's "sold out" even if it's temporary.
>>5706483
I sold a few Gokus at $100 but I don't think I ever went so low for Piccolo and sure as hell I didn't for Gohan.
>>5706472
> Scalping retail releases.
You're pretty bad at this anon.
>>5706486
>I sold two Gohan for about 300 each
Yikes. I hope you threw in a complementary blowjob for that price.
>>5706498
Since I've been making money like this for 5 years or so, I don't think so.
>>5706432
And your problem with people using their phones is what exactly?
Looks like Amiami's limit 1 policy seems to be working... I'm surprised Trunks is still in stock.
VEGETA 2.0 AT AMIAMI SOLD THE FUCK OUT!
TIME TO SAVOR THE TEARS!
>>5706506
They're shit.
>>5706518
It sold out a few times now.
Is Piccolo any good? I need one for my shelf.
>>5706504
I don't believe you. Even so it's nothing to really brag here about. So you're a underachieving scalper, so what.
>>5706451
>being this dumb and making idiotic assumptions
I actually did get a preorder
>>5706472
>referring to me as buddy as if to show some sort of superiority
Sure thing, chief. Enjoy trying to make little profit off of plastic figurines. Scum is as scum does.
>>5706337
There might be some truth to what you're saying according their website:
>IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PREORDERS: HLJ only accepts preorders for the amount of stock promised by the manufacturer or supplier. If there are shortages from the manufacturer or supplier after orders are taken, we will fill what orders we can in exact chronological order.
>exact chronological order
Well totally missed this.
Whatever, figinstock will work out between now and October.
>>5706635
Not those guys, but yeah you are a faggot.
>>5706518
> muh feeling special because toys
If the new Goku is anything to go by Vegeta will be re-issued multiple time.
>>5706635
That's the whole thing. It's a retail release so it's not hard to get and why nobody believes you are able to even scalp them.
>>5706486
>Whether you like it or not, people are retards and will pay crazy prices for anything that's "sold out" even if it's temporary.
Awakening Goku never even sold out, though.
>>5706778
The initial release did, but they announced a reissue soon afterwards so you probably didn't notice its absence.
>>5706486
> Check all sold awakening goku listings on ebay.
> Highest sold at $65.
>>5706486
>I sold two Gohan for about 300 each after the first reissue and I made about $150 with Awakening Gokus like three weeks after its release.
Calling bullshit solely because Awakening Goku never even sold out, and I never saw a listing above 60 dollars anywhere on eBay. Shit, you can still buy him for 45 bucks shipped.
Based on that bullshit story of yours, I highly doubt you sold even ONE reissue Gohan for 300 dollars...unless you managed to find 2 of the biggest idiots on the planet to buy them for you at that retarded price.
What do you get out of lying on the internet? This is an anonymous message board dude, this doesn't even make you look cool.
>>5706654
>>5706635
>>5706688
Read the whole discussion before jumping into it.
>>5706778
Yes it did. That's why he got a second releases a few months later.
>>5706819
And?
>>5706850
>Calling bullshit
Go ahead, I don't mind you being an idiot if you like it.
>Awakening Goku never even sold out
Wrong
>I never saw a listing above 60 dollars anywhere on eBay
And?
>Shit, you can still buy him for 45 bucks shipped.
Of course you can. Now. At some places.
Seriously guys, you're clueless. Your "it never sold out" and "eBay" comments prove that you have no idea how things are outside of your little lifes.
>>5706887
And what are you getting by admitting that you're a scalper? Bragging rights? IF you even made the so-called profit you're claiming, you're still coming across as a douche. Having this arrogant attitude isn't helping your case either.
Simply put, don't come into a board where scalpers are generally disliked just to brag that you ordered 5 of an item. Nobody is mad about missing preorders.
>>5706887
>Yes it did. That's why he got a second releases a few months later.
No, it didn't. Especially outside of Japan.
The figure is still available everywhere for retail, and has been since the original release. It's even still at BBTS for like, $46, for fuck's sake, and never sold out.
You're either a humongous liar, or the people you sold to were fucking grade-A idiots.
>>5706923
>No, it didn't. Especially outside of Japan.
Or, I should clarify. Yes, the figure is getting a second release (which isn't even out yet. Doesn't even come out until the end of June/Beginning of July).
I'm saying the figure's original release is still widely available everywhere.
>>5706887
>Pretending to be a successful scalper on an anonymous message board
Dude...seriously?
Passing on this vegeta since I already have the original SS release, hopefully I won't regret it.
>>5706486
>I sold two Gohan for about 300 each after the first reissue
I'll take "Things that never happened" for 500.
>>5706918
>>5706929
And why aren't you bitchin about
>>5706416
>>5706418
>>5706430
? They did the exact same thing I did. The only difference is that people starting asking me stuff. If you don't wanna know, don't ask.
>>5706923
It did. Repeating something wrong doesn't make it magically right.
>>5706969
Get out of your basement sometimes, it's nice outside.
>>5706887
What mystical magical website do you use to scalp if not ebay and why would anyone buy it for less than the highest price one ever sold?
>>5706993
Local craiglist-like and "collector" boards mainly, cons too.
>why would anyone buy it for less than the highest price one ever sold?
on ebay.
>>5706991
>And why aren't you bitchin about...
Because you're telling obvious lies about selling Awakening Goku of all figures for 150 bucks.
...Serious question; are you retarded?
>>5706991
>? They did the exact same thing I did. The only difference is that people starting asking me stuff. If you don't wanna know, don't ask
The difference there is that they're not pretending to be a scalper like you are.
And no one believes you because you make blatantly false claims. But you seem desperate to convince us.
>>5706946
this is bait right?
>>5707151
I've read people who weren't all that happy with new Trunks so since new Vegeta is using the same kind of body, I guess some will prefer the v1.
>>5707162
What are the general complaints about the Trunks figure?
>>5707190
There's nothing to complain about it other than the new hips having a bit less range than the old pull downs.
That body is better in every other way. There's no way the new vegetables doesn't supplant the first one.
>>5707003
Dude no one is falling for it.
>>5707202
Except those who buy.
>>5707235
Accept that you're a douche.
>>5707238
>you're a douche because you accept that people overpay for your stuff
I'd rather be a douche than an idiot for not taking that opportunity.

lmao holy shit
>Vegeta preorders sold out
Damn. I did so good with Trunks. Slept through Vegeta.
The most hilarious thing about this is that there won't be any problem getting him. There never is, when these things go up. They sell out within about, 5 minutes, then over the course of the next few months, they pop in and out of stock.
Then when the figure actually releases, they're in stock for days, or even weeks until they sell out for good. I always order on amiami, and Awakening Goku was like this, Beerus, the new Trunks, Gohan's re-release.
Vegeta will be the same.
>>5707501
Yea to be honest you are completely right, i realized this in the past couple of months with Beerus, Trunks, etc.
People screaming about PO windows closing making zero sense to me as i waltz into the store a week after release day and pick up as many figures as I want.
>>5707501
Nah bro so untrue, cause like you can sell them for like $150. It's not like the general releases are still available on most online retailers at MRSP weeks after release.
Oh if you call me a liar, you're just mad cause you didn't get a pre-order in.
guys I'm just gonna order vegeta from bbts.
>>5707618
I'm sure /toy/ will be screaming rape when the BBTS preorder goes up and it's $50+$7 shipping instead of $46+$15 shipping from HLJ.
>>5707633
but my shipping will be free with him since I use pile of loot like a smart person.
Honestly I was more upset about the VF-1J selling out instantly than anything but I know they purposely don't produce enough of that stuff so my discontent was tempered.
>>5707639
So do I but /toy/ usually throws math out the window when there's an opportunity to shit on BBTS because reasons.
>>5707501
Still waiting for Tony to come back in stock...
>>5707743
Well yeah. I don't pay scalpers, nobody should. That should go without saying.
Is HLJ really that bad with preorders? I got my Awakening Goku from them without issue. Should I be worried about Vegeta?
>>5707705
he's not out yet though
>Tfw I forgot about the preorders and missed vegeta.
I sure hope he pops back in when I am awake!
http://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/products/2016/4549660097372000.html
>>5708061
It'll pop back up between now and October. Plus with the way the DB line's been picking up steam I think it's safe to expect a reissue.
>>5708088
WANT
What size will they be?
>>5708106
or if he's in the us he can just order it from bbts/amazon/borders, really any bluefin rep.
>>5708088
>http://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/products/2016/4549660097372000.html
Whoah, nice! Really happy the Shodo line is continuing. Also keeping the trend of 2 heroes and 1 villain. They look great! If Buu doesn't come with an extra head then he's stuck with his neck like that, which is a bit weird but not the worst.
>>5708110
Around 4" tall.
>>5708110
>http://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/products/2016/4549660097372000.html
probably 6"? shodo sized
>>5708147
They're not 6". The Dragonball Shodo line is a little under 4" tall generally. Shodo figures are all around 4" in fact.
>>5708110
regular size people in that line are a little under 4 inches
I shouldn't be telling you filthy degenerates this, but Vegeta is back up on Amiami.
>>5708198
Yeah, my figinstock emailed me. Grabbed him and Swole Rider 1.
>>5708206
Nice. I got him too. First time I've grabbed a Rider based on design. Even though there's a lot of exceptionally good looking Riders. I've only watched a few series though. But I digress.
How laughable are all those idiots who waved "GOT MY PRE ORDER IN HAHAHA DELICIOUS TEARS U FGTS" in everyone's faces.
Got that Vegeta preorder in. No big deal.
>>5708216
I never really worry too much because people always cancel, as well as within the first release week there are always some on mandarake. I do prefer to get a preorder in just to make sure though.
>>5708234
I just got mine in thanks to figinstock.
Not even worth getting from AmiAmi if you live in the US.
For Trunks:
BBTS = $48.99 + shipping (about $50-ish shipped if you order stuff and use pile of loot)
AmiAmi = $42 + shipping (about $48 shipped if you have other stuff to order)
HLJ has a nice price but it's sold out so yeah. It's pathetic how non-competitive AmiAmi has become given their really terrible customer service when you get broken figures or missing shit.
>>5708256
The worst part is you can't even really take advantage of cheaper shipping for large orders because they randomly charge more for certain figures now. Like Vegeta has a piss poor 15% off while other Bandai stuff is at 23-25% off. They also do this with in stock items, randomly removing discounts after release. Makes it damn never impossible to get a good deal on larger orders.
>>5708256
Amiami do offer replacements if you have issues, but yeah I've had this happen to me a few times with figures missing paint apps and the outer packaging looking a bit worn like one of their preowned items.
>>5708270
>They also do this with in stock items, randomly removing discounts after release
Never happened.
I'm feeling torn. Should I cancel my HLJ Vegeta preorder and go with Amiami or leave it as is? I'm only buying one.
>>5708277
All the time with Nendoroids and figmas when they're restocked. Trunks's discount is 10% right now.
>>5708274
>figure arrives with paint bleed
>request replacement part
>provide picture proof/invoice etc as requested
>get sent new part
>has same problem
>don't have the guts to try it again
T-thanks guys...
>>5708281
it really doesn't matter.
>>5708366
Which figure, if you don't mind me asking? If other in-hand reviews clearly don't have the problem then I think you should pursue it.
>>5708375
Thanks. I guess I'm a bit nervous because of the horror stories I've read. But I got my order in early so hopefully I should be ok... (if they fuck this up I'm never ordering from them again).
>>5708401
Ah it's unrelated, I'm just having a little bitch about it, having just placed my Vegeta preorder. It was the Variable Action Heroes Sabo figure. Pretty bad spot too, right on the goggles of his hat.
I just figured if I tried a second time they'd think I was jerking them around, so I left it. Pretty unhappy about it though. I don't mind paint bleeds on things like the body, back or feet, but face or any prominent feature of the head is a terrible spot for an imperfection.

Come on man, take your own advice. Just because no one is falling for your lies doesn't mean you have to get mad about it.
I totally forgot how big super buu was, maybe thats why they haven't shown the forms recently?
He's at least as tall as Broly so maybe they're reworking the figures so they're more accurate.
For those of you that missed out this morning, Vegeta 2.0 is back up for pre-order on amiami.com
Got mine now get yours.
>>5708469
I just want more villains
They better give us default Super Buu from that pic instead of any other specific form
>>5708529
yeah I'd like another bigger bad guy to fuck some shit up. Hopefully they give him some smooshed face for when he gets punched.
>>5708088
damn those look good. kinda makes me wish I collected in that scale. and they're so much cheaper than the figuarts
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is there any new info on the new Figurise kits that were shown at Shizuoka?
>>5708639
NOOOO!
>>5708639
Preorders are up
God damn it, are all the preorders dry already?
>even other lines are now getting gotenks
fuck you figuarts bandai
>>5707488
This preorder was a complete clusterfuck.
>>5707644
I'm the exact opposite where I feel the need to have everything at the same time as everyone else or I feel left out.
>>5708256
You're forgetting the factor of time and that BBTS are assholes that shouldn't be rewarded.

SHF Trunks redeco with Goku's head confirmed for SDCC17 exclusive.
>>5708699
Dude, they're all like this.
Trunks was up for all of maybe 5 minutes, and went sold out for probably two months before he started to go in and out of stock for PO.
>>5708844
Other times it's fucked due to new One Piece statues. This time it was fucked because Amiami chose to do maintenance for some retarded ass reason, literally minutes before the orders were to open up.
This actually pissed me off quite a bit even though I got it elsewhere.
>>5708847
Where else did you buy the figure?
Does HLJ ever get more stock in before release?
CDjapan's price is shit and I don't want to buy from amiami.
>>5708088
Are these more model kits?
>>5708847
The result would have been the same, regardless of the maintenance; The figure would have sold out before half the people even got to the checkout. That's just how it works.
I used to get all pissed off and worked up, and thought it wasn't fair if POs sold out lightning fast but after years of ordering, I've found there is literally no reason to be mad. I have yet to see a figure sell out at PO and not actually be available later. These figures are available for days, sometimes weeks (Beerus was even available for like a month on amiami before he sold out for good) so they hang around a while.
>>5708920
They're just normal 4-ish inch action figures. They come assembled and painted. They're technically candy figures, IIRC, in that you get the figure and a piece of candy in the package.
>>5708844
>went sold out for probably two months before he started to go in and out of stock for PO.
That's when AmiAmi started being a dick and reduced the discount from 15% to 5%, then back to 10% when they have some leftover stock after the release date.
>>5708920
CD Japan's prices are generally lower than everyone else's minus maybe Amiami, especially with shfs. Their issue is that you have to pay immediately.
>>5708974
The fuck? Is he wearing a Potara earring?
And I still hate the way Future Trunks looks in Super.
>>5708974
>chick aiming down with a shotty close to her face
Hope she enjoys her new nose-job.
>>5709023
Although she does appear to have a weak grip on it, I think she will be fine.
>>5709003
Not gonna lie, I'm totally down with the new Trunks look.
How long until we get a purple recolor for Vegeta?
>>5708969
> pay immediately
Wrong.
The issue is that they are charging 5200yen for Vegeta.
>>5708920
They do come back in stock if people cancel but I would advise caution when placing an order with HLJ too close to release date because (from what I understand) you're pushed to the end of a queue where, if there's stock shortages, your order will be the first one dropped..
>>5709053
Are you telling me you don't? Because each time I've bought on preorder from them the payment goes through after the preorder. I've asked them and they said that's how things are there.
>>5709133
What he means, is that the MAIN issue, over immediate payment (which is basically a non issue for people who are organized), is the expensive price.
C'mon man, use just a little bit of reading comprehension. :).
>>5709139
How is that an issue? Their price for high demand figures, Figma, or Revoltechs are always a bit high with cheaper discounts. Though they also don't have Japanese taxes as a part of their prices, which other stores shouldn't even be including.
As for reading comprehension, check your own. His wording was implying that you don't have to pay immediately. That's what wrong means. If he wrote
>the issue is paying immediately
then
>Wrong, the issue is...
it would at least make sense. As is he's saying paying immediately is wrong, then brings up what he believes the issue is.
And no, it isn't an issue with regards to having your funds in order, it's that you're paying for the preorder which you won't get for a long time. For something like a Kickstarter it's because they need it, in this case they're just taking your money early cause they want to.
Anyways, just wasted a bunch of time.
>>5709039
I think I'd be more okay with his new look if he didn't look like a literal child. How'd get go from the roided out badass trunks we all knew and loved to...whatever he's supposed to be in Super.
Like, did he just say fuck it and stop training or something? Because that's the only explanation that would make sense to explain why he looks smaller than Super's Gohan.
>2016
>Still no Gotenks
>>5709277
The Figuarts Zero Gotenks is probably the best representation of the character so far. It's statueshit, I know, but it still scales with the SHF figures.
Also, >>5708088 looks pretty dope,and it comes with a Ghost Kamikaze.
>>5709177
Toriyama has moved away from everyone being super roided out all the time, thats all. It's been a LONG time since DBZ, an artists style will evolve or change with time.
>>5709344
Yea, I understand that. But it's a really jarring change nonetheless.
>>5708911
HLJ but it was fun trying to get an account created at checkout. I don't really get jap stores and their pizza box servers. $5 aws instances are more stable.
>>5709301
>still scales
Um, does it? Pretty sure it's big.
>>5709168
Dude, you're a total fucking sperg.
>How is price an issue
Do you not belong to this world? High prices are an issue, especially when you can get the product cheaper somewhere else.
Do you REALLY fucking need me to explain that to you?
As for the reading comprehension, I am sure that the person who posted will agree with me. As you said, you DO have to pay immediately, so clearly he wasn't saying that was wrong; he isn't just making shit up. He meant that stating that as "THE" issue was wrong, when there is another, more important issue.
I mean, again, this is truly fucking obvious for people who aren't dumb.
>>5709168
>>5709468
You're all kind of dumb. If prices were an issue, people wouldn't buy from different stores and just always go with the cheapest. Obviously that isn't the case. HLJ has the warehouse, Ami is cheapest but their CS is usually a pain, CDJ you have to pay right away and prices vary quite a bit, etc.
For example, I wanted Warsman when he just released, I didn't expect him to sell out however. Once he was gone from Ami, which I normally go with because I want to pay less, I had to go with HLJ with only 10% off. So, if you want something, and it sells out somewhere, you either go with somewhere with a higher price, or you don't get it. Or wait and chance it.
>especially when you can get the product cheaper somewhere else
Isn't this exactly what the problem is? That it isn't available elsewhere? Ami can say it's 25% off or whatever, but if it's sold out then what good would that to for you? There's price and there's availability, as discussed above.
You're all being unclear as well. One's taking things too literally, the other is getting riled up for some reason. Just drop it, this is a non-issue.
>>5709372
HLJ's server is irritating. It frequently times out on logging in. But whoever coded the site was too stupid to tell the difference between a timeout, a bad password, and not having an account, so all errors resolve to "that account doesn't exist." For what it's worth, though, eBay and PayPal are pretty stupid about their error messages too.
>>5709177
This Trunks is with Mai. This implies that this isn't the same Future Trunks as before, but is actually Trunks from Super's timeline from the future.
>>5708088
Interesting. I thought they'd go with more Super than going back all the way to Buu, though that's cool. To be honest though I was quite looking forward to getting Hit. Not sure who else they would have in such an assortment. Maybe Piccolo and SSJB Goku with a red tint for his Kaioken. Maybe a bit of an aura effect to go with it too since it would be a repaint.
>>5708707
Because I want tracking? Registered SAL cost vs EMS makes EMS worth it. Go somewhere else to start your petty arguing you fantastical piece of shit.
>>5709458
Hey guys I preordered vegeta from bbts is that ok or do I have to worry about getting an order in on a jap site still?
Is Armor Trunks worth it? I have a ton of the other figuarts, but I'm not sure about Armor Trunks.
are we ever getting more bootleg accessories?
>>5710307
Yes.
>>5708088
If they're releasing shodo Gotenks and Buu this is a damn good sign we're getting figuarts of these fuckers somewhere down the line.
>>5710312
when? I want more headsculpts
>>5710324
If that was the case where's Bardock? Separate lines.
>>5710223
>Go somewhere else to start your petty arguing you fantastical piece of shit.
Was this really necessary? You can actually post without being a dick every time you know.
>>5710324
They better or us Gotenks fans are going to burn those fuckers alive.
I got the alt color SS vegeta or whatever in fall/winter of last year.
What's the difference between that, this, and the ortiginal SS vegeta. Is the new one just a re-release of the original, or does it have actual structural changes compared to it/the alt color one?
>>5710371
It's a redeco.
>>5710386
I'm an idiot, please clarify as to what that means
>>5710391
Just different paints. In effect a repaint. Possibly fewer parts than the original like trunks, I'm not sure.
>>5710405
considering the original was bare bones as it could get they couldn't take much more from it.
>>5710370
>us
Should've used 'we'
>>5710371
The original Vegeta and the PC one that you have are only different in terms of color. They used the recolor as a way of re-releasing a figure that was a web exclusive. The new one that's up for preorder is an entirely new sculpt.
>>5709355
Usually Super will keep the original style and musculature of the old Toriyama art for the appropriate character body types.
Goku and Vegeta looks normal despite the designs provided by Toriyama is skinnier. The key visual of Trunks with Mai and Goku Black looks normal too so you shouldn't be worrying about how Toriyama draws them now.
>>5709893
The new poster art says "we brought peace --- or so we thought" or something like that. I think that implies Android/Cell future Trunks. Why is then Mai there at that age? I assume Toriyama still writes basic plots for these...when has he remembered details or continuity in his career? He forgets stuff all the time, and people around him don't seem to care enough to correct him. So I can't dispose the possibility it's Trunks from the alternate timeline. At least I think that's more interesting.
>new shodo figures coming out
>tfw the only figure I have in that scale is a pose skeleton
I don't want to start collecting in a new scale, but they're so much cheaper, they have buu and gotenks, and the hair sculpts are so much better than the figuarts
>>5710497
Good points. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Vegeta is up at amiami
better hurry
>>5710254
You'll be fine you'll just get it a month later than anyone else. They also don't give refunds but I don't think you'll have to worry about that.
>>5710563
They really don't but other downsides include non changeable hands and hair pieces, i.e. the two most important things you need for a proper db figure.
The thing is we probably would've have Gotenks by now if bandai didn't have to spend the year with rereleases just to let everyone keep up.
