Since we're on the subject of Figuarts, does anyone know of a place to get the original SS Goku cheaper than HLJ's $40(ish) shipped? I'm tempted, but its on backorder there anyway. I was supposed to get one for $30 shipped from a fellow member on DBTI before it went to crap. They went to Japan, but it didn't work out because of a crappy PM error on the board. I've kind of stopped looking since then because everyone wants to charge $50 or more before shipping, and that's not a trap I'm willing to fall into.

Actually HLJ was probably you're best chance, compared to most places their prices are pretty low. I assume you don't want to use SAL and that's why with shipping it would cost so much, which is why you should always try to buy a lot at once, cause those shipping prices will get you.

As for other places to buy, the majority are out of stock or just have the price outrageously high.

Personally, I don't have an issue using SAL.... I've never lost an item, and I've made a lot of them from Hobby Link. It just takes an extra few days.

Well, right now it is just an issue of it being backordered, so I figured I'd try to look around and see if any one else can offer a better deal. I planned on using SAL actually, but without actually placing an order and seeing the exchange rate, their estimates place the figure at around $32 and $8 shipping. That's not too bad, much better than buying the figure for $50 somewhere else and then being charged $30 to ship it.

I was just wondering if there was any place cheaper than HLJ, since some people in here are friends with leprechauns, fairies and other things, magically pulling cheap deals out of nowhere on occasion. =P

So I was cruisin', and look what I found! The first toy representation of SSJ3 Trunks featured in DragonBall Heroes! (Albeit in a keychain) Could this be a sign of more SSJ3 Trunks figures to come? I hope to god so!

That's pretty cool! Yeah, I hope this does mean more SSJ3 Trunks figures to come. :D
And Coola has an uncanny resemblance to First from Freeza there. :)

I don't know if it's the angle or what, but am I the only one that thinks that Trunks looks rather horrifying?

Seeing how we haven't gotten the other figures they already had prototypes of, like Vegeta, Goku, SS3 Goku and wasn't there a normal Trunks too? I doubt we'll be seeing a SS3 version of him.

Probably going to skip out on doubling up on that King Vegeta/Vegeta... I plan to put that money on other things.

I guess not since nobody has said anything. I'm really interested too.

On another note, does anybody know what this figure is all about?
Jump 40th x Panson Works: Goku

There's no info about it on the HLJ item page. All I can gather is that it was a special figure made for Jump's 40th. It's in stock and I kinda want it. :D
