He'd look better if the people who posed him weren't so freaking inept.

Better jump on Gohan, there's only so many left going for this price.

Heck, I checked the link Gonstead posted two minutes after he posted it and the website already said it was sold out.

I want that damn Gohan.

Well, I was busy at the ER all night, so guess I was just destined to be screwed. I'm desperately hoping some more will surface, cheaper, later on as other stores may get a hold of them. That, or I'm also hoping Bluefin will still be selling them at later cons (like they still are, or at least were the last time I checked, the SDCC Goku), and maybe someone from our diverse community will be able to will be able to snag me at least one...

Originally I wanted three; SS2, SS, and a custom base...but now I'd be happy just to have one so that my collection isn't incomplete.

What are the chances of SCultures Lunch and young Goku showing up on Angolz? I know it's available on HLJ (at least Lunch is) but is there any other site where I can find them cheaper?

I'm hoping that means that the next wave of shipments is out and they'll finally switch off from preorders at Amazon and ship the two I ordered almost a month ago.

EDIT: I sent an email to Amazon, asking about if/when they would be getting the SDCC Gohan in stock. I wouldn't mind the wait if I knew I was going get my order, but I needed to know so that I could make other plans to purchase him elsewhere while some stores still have him cheap if they weren't going to be able to get a hold of them. I get an email back saying the estimated delivery date is August 10th, AND I got my order's shipping speed upgraded to 1-day delivery for free for my "troubles"...despite the fact that I never said anything about being unhappy. Pretty sweet IMO.
