Oh god. $60+??? Although that figure is awesome and rare, I don't think I want to spend that much on it
Were the other Figuarts figures around that price when they came out? I mean, they're around $30 right now. Is it because this is a Japanese only release? Why Bandai? Why?!
Edit: God damnit. Pre-Ordered

No, they charged me immediately. Crap, and I'm still anticipating the SSJGoku statue that comes out this month for about $100.

It's a Tamashii Web Exclusive, so it's less common and more expensive even in Japan.

Ugh... I can't preorder it right now then. I have to wait at least a few weeks before I have the money.
I haven't ordered from Angolz before. How much is the shipping for this figure?

Shipping for me here in Maryand, USA is $13.62
You can check what shipping will be for you without having to complete an order. I don't think you even have to register to see it.

Honestly for an actual online store providing it, it's a pretty good price. Sure, maybe if you use a proxy it might be cheaper, but for convenience it's a pretty good deal.
It's certainly better than other sites.

Well all Figuarts, excluding the SDCC exclusive, are from Japan. Really it's just the higher price for the exclusive and mostly likely some mark up so they could get some profit from actually getting them.
When they're first released is probably the best time to get exclusives, so then you won't have to scrounge through auction sites.
If you're not here soon... GET ON!

Honestly I think that's the cheapest you guys are going to see it, I'd hop on that asap. I can only see the price going up from here, and that would suck to think "I could have got it but, meh and now omg I'm shelling out 120 to get this..." lol...
Try checking Otacute, or AmiAmi etc, but I already preordered mine, lol.
I'm pretty sad it's an instant payment too.
I need to somehow win a bid for the special repaint ssj goku and then also get the medicos goku, I was going to get 2x of it but I'm putting some money aside so Ill have to get one now and one August 11th... lol.
Otaku at heart.

I'll certainly pay that for an exclusive, but it'll hurt my wallet...Also, he isn't pictured with any accessories. Does that mean that because he's an exclusive Bandai thought they didn't have to bother? Or is it just that he's so early in production they aren't showing them/haven't made them yet?
Also how long do you guys think will this guy last on Angolz? I've come some finances coming in next week, but I'm worried he won't still be around then...

Vegeta is cheaper there, but shipping is more expensive, so the price is only like $1 different. -.- What's up with everyone wanting immediate payment too?

Yeah, if I don't get one, it will be due to that.
Big Bad Toy Store doesn't charge you immediately, but after shipping the thing will be like $97...

Hey Raithos, check out what I picked up at Otakon today.
Want one? All you have to pay is the $40 I paid for it plus the shipping to get it to you.

Psst. Hey fellas.
http://www.facebook.com/Tamashii.USA
Scroll down to their Vegeta pictures and look at the comments:
Super Saiyan Vegeta is both a U.S. and Tamashii Web Exclusive.
Mack Mejias So, is this guy going to be an exclusive, or is he going to see some kind of American release? I know Tamashii Nation put him up on their exclusives page, but at SDCC he was shown with a USD price of 39.99, so which is it?
@Mack Mejias Vegeta will be available in the U.S. at anime/comic shops, speciality shops, and various online retailers
Yay!
...Too bad I don't have a SSJ Goku to go with him.

Well I heard BlueFin was supposed to do that for the Megaman/Rockman D-Arts, but I guess I missed that.
Although there is that mysterious Zero listing on Amazon.
Let's hope we see them pop up soon. The price doesn't have to be that much cheaper, the cheaper shipping would be enough.
If you're not here soon... GET ON!

Yup, they did a few months ago. I got the X figure right on it's launch. Also, that
Zero figure is supposed to come out in September.

Yeah I saw that, as well as the X figure. I just thought that was BBTS importing the Japanese release. Should've guess considering it's listed under "Megaman". I'd pick those up but I can get it about 10 dollars cheaper on Amiami, but then you factor in shipping, yeah... Not to mention I'm a very casual Megaman fan.
I'd pick up Vegeta for that price faster than I would a Megaman figure.
