There's no one place that has them all. You'll have to try HobbyLink Japan, Angolz and ToysLogic to name a few sites. Then there are always several up on Ebay. Patience will be the key. Some of them are a lot easier to find than others. I think the Shenlong and Ohzaru Vegeta in particular are pretty hard to track down. I've seen those two get very expensive. I got lucky when I found my Vegeta. Most of all you're just going to have to show a bit of patience and keep your eyes open. Good luck and happy hunting!
Great ape vegeta and Shenron were $7 each a week back on Angolz with $6 shipping and I passed them up because I was about to buy some LOS DX figures and I regret that deeply because after seeing some pictures the quality is amazing, now the cheapest I've seen each is around $15 and $15 shipping :roll:
Rathios was right you need to buy what you want as soon as it's released.
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)

Hm...I wonder what this spells for LoS...honestly, I hope they cancel it. I mean, there are lots of characters I really, really, really, want and everything, but this line is destroying me. Since I started buying them I've been missing out on game preorders, shutting out other hobbies. Like some sort of curse...

The line will probably end with King Vegeta, and that's fine, I mean there's not that many more main characters they can pump out from the isolated line. And I think it would be a good compliment to end it there. If they released a LoS DX Prince Vegeta that would be amazing but that's about it. The line has also cost me as well, I've spent hundreds on it and I've even neglected tuition payments so I could churn some funds into it. By all means I welcome the break in releases that is sure to come from this. They may release a couple things as a last tribute to Kai ending but that's about it, and frankly I welcome it. I can clear off my school payments and focus on my Naruto and One Piece stuff for a bit. So I don't find it at all bad. Like I said before I'm sure some lines will clear up their stuff like Digital Grade (They have to release digital grade versions of the Androids, and Perfect Cell... they have to...), but yeah after that I don't think we'll see an influx of releases like we see now. (To the point where people are struggling to buy the damn stuff before it's gone). I would like to see a few more figures made, but I mean in all honestly they haven't stopped making figures completely and I don't think Bandai and Banpresto along with other companies will stop for a while to come. The series is still popular, not a maelstrom like One Piece or Naruto, but it's still strong. I think they recognize this fact and will continue to produce High Quality figures in homage to the series. A complete deterioration of the figures? No. A slow down of releases, yes. But like I said, it is sort of saddening yet welcome at the same time, at least for me anyway.

So will the DX wild style figures still be released? Or are they even branded with Kai?

Oh I'm sure those will still be released, and they may even continue that line. I believe it is branded with Kai.

As you can see from this ad they're definitely Kai branded.

I don't see a reason why they wouldn't still release these. Just because they're not making new episodes, doesn't mean they can't try to make money off the series. Especially since they have probably already started production I wouldn't worry too much about them not coming out. Now all I need to do is find a place where I can pre order that Vegeta! Stupid HLJ stopped taking orders on him weeks ago.

The close-ups to those figures really weren't my style, so I don't think I'll be picking those up.

The wild style SSJ Goku and Vegeta are awesome, I want to pick them up but I have no clue where to pre-order them from. I tried searching HLJ but they stopped orders. :?

Guess you'll just have to wait till they're released and HLJ stocks them. :P

Angolz will also probably have them eventually... though it takes them a little while for them to get stock after something is released.

With the quake yesterday, I don't think anyone will be able to order anything any time soon. :(

Legend of Saiyan series 6 has been released today. This completes the releases for the small gashapon sized scale. The set
features Broly and his variations along with Paragus.

I agree, but for the sake of completion it's already been pre ordered, lol. But yeah the Broly focus is for those that like him, lol.

Wow, never imagined that Bio-Brolli can look this good. Never was into his design in anime, but I must admit I like that minifig.
Pitty that I'm not buying gashapons with my pashion for bigger figures.

What's that Trunks? You want to go SSJ3? Okay:

Apparently in Dragon Ball Heroes, Trunks now has the SSJ3 ability. Hope this translates into Banpresto making an SSJ3 Trunks figure like they made an SSJ3 Vegeta/Broly for Raging Blast 2 :P.
