Yeah...this sucks. I mean, it's not like I really need a break from Dragonball because my other collections are falling behind, such as:

Transformers Generations
Star Wars: The clone Wars
Star Wars: Vintage Collection
Halo Reach
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Sonic the Hedgehog
Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Iron man (and possibly Spiderman)
Disney Pixar Cars diecast
Nerf guns

Holy crap. Yeah, I think Dragon ball is really due for a quick drought lol.

Bandai Digital Grade Series 3 has been released in Japan today.

Yeah there will be a drought of DBZ figures after Legend of Saiyan DX volume 4 and Wild Style are complete. There might be some new stuff announced such as those special figures Toriyama worked on... (to be released in September or so, dubbed the "Art Storm EX Dr IQ") and also maybe a Masters Star Piece DBZ release. I know Bandai and Banpresto are working on special stuff to roll out near the last quarter like they always do so expect to see some really nice things from Naruto and One Piece. Not so much Dragonball but then again companies can make announcements at any time, so we'll see. I for one welcome this DB drought anyway becuase I'd like to focus on Sonic figures (20th anniversary), Naruto and One Piece for a bit.
Otaku at heart.

There’s still Figuarts Vegeta, Base and SSJ3 Goku to be released … whenever that happens.

I thought that turned out to be a model kit.

I'll probably try to get Figuarts Piccolo later this year, if it's still available.

You're thinking of the MG Figurerize Vegeta, which is a model kit.
This is the Figuarts Vegeta.

You’re more into static figures?
I really am disappointed it’s taken them so long to release that Vegeta.
It also kills any hope for me that they might include some of the more minor characters.
(I need a high quality Raditz action figure.)

Yeah definitely, I limit myself to articulated figures with Sonic, that's about it, lol.

I've been waiting for these announcements forever. Even before Kai was canceled, its been a long while since they released a figuart.

Yeah, I prefer figures without articulation generally... setting up figures is enough of a hassle as it is, I don't need to spend ages posing figures, especially with my borderline OCD tendencies. If I pose a figure in an odd position, it drives me crazy.

But sometimes it's worth it, like with my Alphonse.

ACTUALLY I do have more than just one soft spot for articulated figures- and that lies within REVOLTECH. Love it! Especially their work on the Gurenn Lagann figures, which are the only affordable Gurenn Lagann figures to feature those models (to date) so I can't help but like them, lol.

NOOO! Dragon Ball wild style Vegeta with the big bulge is sold out on HLJ! Does anyone know if there's another online hobby store I can buy him from? Sorry for posting a question like this here, I just don't know where else to ask.

Well the cheapest place I could find the Wild Style figures is on a site called, "Aikoudo". I don't know if this site is reliable or not though. The site seems nice and official, but there's a whole bunch of grammar errors around the whole site.

Wild Style Vegeta & Goku for $31.20

The shipping doesn't seem too bad either. But what is a freight charge?

A freight charge is simply another way of saying shipping cost.
From this website, it looks like there are just two options, EMS and SAL. SAL is usually cheaper, but can take longer.

@ Scarz: No need to apologize I think the question is perfectly logical and fits this topic.

Guys guys guys, just wait. Angolz will have him for like $30.00 along with the SSJ Goku too lol.

Thanks Drabaz! But I can only get him in a set? I purchased Wild Style SSJ Goku from HLJ, hopefully it's not to late to cancel my order.

Do you know this for certain? I searched the site and couldn't find the items for pre-order.

For both. I got the Roshi black and colour versions there for 30$ for both, Legend of Saiyan DX 2 @ $28 for both, Legend of Saiyan DX 3 is still posted there at $28 for the set etc, etc. I see these sets going at 35-40$ per figure now if not more. Trust me Angolz is where it's at.

I'm making a very good educated guess based on lots of past shopping there. They usually post the item 2 weeks after it's announced in Japan. And then it sits there at amazing prices for a few weeks to a month or two max then its gone. I'm perfectly content in knowing that Angolz will post it. Furthermore they have posted every single brand new DB toy release that has been announced in the past 6 months (apart from Digital Grade Saiyan Legend) alone so I have complete faith that they will release the Wild Style figures and therefore I am not scurrying frantically to try and find them. They usually always stay on top of the Banpresto releases too.

Banpresto has released the incredible new Dragon Ball Kai figures of the DX ~WILD STYLE~ line, featuring Super Saiya-jin Son Goku and Vegeta (17 cm) as of today.

I'm so excited! Look for these soon on Angolz. :P
