All I know is that I wanted to see how each of the figures would look with the opposite style head, so I snapped them on. Now my normal SS Goku's head is kinda loose because the SDCC version apparently has a slightly bigger peg.

So Hobby Link won't get Piccolo or #16 either? That's certainly a disappointment...

No, Hobby Link should get the Piccolo and 16. Those are not ichiban.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

^ What he said. Also Piccolo is supposed to be a masters star piece figure, so HLJ should also still carry him. Only SSJ Goku and Freeza are Ichiban models.

We only have SCultures and S.H. Figuarts in line... no new gashapons series? It looks like 2012 is as dry as 2011 was :cry:

Are the ichiban ones (Freeza) for sale anywhere?
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 :)

So, I've been trying to complete my collection of the Z HSCFs (had SSJ Trunks and Vegeta by themselves for too long). I know to be wary of eBay in general and when they sell for way too little money when it comes to bootlegs, but I was wondering what I should expect to pay for legit figures these days? Or if anyone knows a particularly good seller...

For legit ones, maybe like 25-40$+ per piece if you're on Ebay, not too sure about other areas, you could try Mandarake sets tend to sell cheaper there.

Is there a website where I can check out what DBZ figures were released in America and in what order? I'd kind of just like to check out the models n' stuff.

Edit-
Hopefully this was the right thread to ask in! Sorry if it wasn't. I assumed this sort of developed into the toys megathread for some reason.

So is it just me or does that last keychain on the right not look entirely like Metal Cooler? It looks more like a Metal Chilled to me.

I think that might just be the position he's in... But I can see what you mean.

For anyone who is interested, keep an eye on Hobby Link Japan, because they should have a #16 become available soon... I had to tragically cancel my order. :cry:
