Is it too late for Vegeta?

Post by vexdar » Sat Aug 15, 2015 3:00 am

I want to preorder the Premium Color SH Figuarts Vegeta, but only on Amazon. I have been checking routinely and just checked that he is sold out! Do they typically come back in stock or is it all over.

Realistically, your only hope if you absolutely want to stay with Amazon is to wait and see if people drop their orders. There is a small chance that Amazon may order more stock but don't hold your breath.

Relying on a single retailer for a highly wanted product isn't a good idea. If you really want the figure, he is still available here.

I'd also suggest trying here too. Usually one of the cheapest sites for the figures, with the price slowly increasing towards retail as the release date nears. So if you jump on early, you can almost get the figures for a steal (though not all of them are so lucky). Also, from what I remember, no tax is collected and they have free shipping to the 48 mainland states on all orders. So definitely some plusses, depending on where you live.

If you have a bank account, you can link it to a Paypal account and use that for anywhere that accepts Paypal.

Other than that, my only other recommendations would be to get a debit card linked to your bank account (Which you can also link to a Paypal) or transfer money into one of those single-use gift cards that act like debit / credit cards.

I have my orders set up with them throughout the rest of the year and have used them for the last 2-4 releases as well (I think it started with #17? However many ago he was...). I always pay (upfront) via the Paypal option and have never had a problem with them.

I've never shopped with them before but I have yet to hear anything bad about them from people I do know that use them. Safe to say that along with TheDevilsCorpse response should alleviate any worries people might have with ToyzInTheBox.
