I have a question. I'd like to buy a nice Tenshinhan figure. What is the best one that's available ?

Yea they have. I wish I had bought it before it went out of stock on Angolz.

Whoops, I must have missed that one. Well, there you go, resistance. Only problem is, it's out of stock.

You can find that on Ebay, but be prepared to pay $50.00 for it.

I know right? It'll NEVER happen, how about an SSJ3 Gotenks HSCF or even a regular one? Nope!, SS2 Vegeta HSCF? Nope

There are quite a few that are legitimate, it's the ones that cost like 10 or even 20$ for a set of 4 or 6 that are bootlegs, or auctions that run at 59 cents etc.

yeah you have to do your research on the figures so that way it will be easier to tell bootlegs to legit figures.

And plus by this point I can just tell which ones aren't legitimate, like fake ones have crappy paint applications and upon closer inspection you can see the colours are off or poorly sculpted etc. But there are plenty of legitimate figures, I find the average price for legit figures is around 20$ for one.

I Know! I hate that! It makes me mad! You really need to hop on HSCF fast, becuase it goes up exponentially in price really fast.

wish people could be a little more fair on the prices but that's what happens when you want rare figures ha ha. But ya you need to find them quick some how or from there on its just gonna be impossible.

That's what preorders are for, I guess. Though it seems that angolz still haven't shipped my preordered los 3. I get the feeling that if I had ordered them after they came out, they would have been shipped by now. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of preordering?
