You're pretty late in the game as far as the line goes. Most figures now range between $100-$200 range not including SDCC Goku who's $400 now. Even the bootleg SS Vegeta is now $100 lol I recommend searching eBay and buying a lot of them, that way you'll save a few bucks and be up to date. DAMN! I'd be okay with just picking up a few to fill out my #Toyspotting roster, but then there's really no one I don't want! Brolly coming up is the one I want MOST, though. Better do it soon. You can still find regular Goku and Piccolo at Barnes and Noble for retail price. Piccolo's a re-release, but still, the way these guys go on the secondary market, wouldn't hurt to buy them up. I think I know where I'm going tomorrow! What would retail even be for these? $35? Between $40-$50. Goku is $42 and Piccolo is $45. Barnes and Noble offer monthly coupons, and their biggest one is a 20% off coupon. Amazon has them at a lower orice now, but don't expect that to last very long.

Where the heck do you even get the coupons? I've had the membership you have to pay for there for the past 2 years and they only thing I've got over the ENTIRE 2 years is a special Christmas pack that came a few weeks ago with 2 20% coupons and a coupon for cheesecake that I don't want.

Let's say I have about 80 bucks. Which 1 or 2 do I go with? EDIT: Thinking Piccolo and SS Goku

EDIT: Thinking Piccolo and SS Goku Those are good choices, but Android 18 is starting to rise a bit though. You could buy Android 18 now and not have to deal with the hassle of her later on when Android 16 releases. Also I recommend Android 17 as he's one of the best figuarts and comes with a bunch of accessories.

Also if any of you guys go to conventions, you should take it as a opportunity of finding some pretty good deals on DBZ figuarts. I remember going to an Anime Expo convention and bought a SDCC Goku brand new for only $80 bucks.

Piccolo and he had a pretty BA fight if I recall, so perhaps I should grab them! WHY CAN'T MONEY GROW ON TREEEESS?!!!?

Android 17 is just as great as the Trunks Figuarts and you won't be dissapointed with him. ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) And don't think about getting them all at once, just target one figure at a time and move on to the next. Start with getting the figures you can afford for now.

Will they be cheaper on a second run (Brolly for instance)?

I'm just waiting until ToyArena or Toyzindabox have Broly in stock cuz they should sell him at retail price and they usually get the figures before anybody else. I bought my Android 17 from ToyArena on eBay for $48 which is $3 more than the actual retail price, but they had Android 17 2 weeks before anybody else did. So I would just wait until he's on sale on eBay.

That's a cool looking forum; I might join it too! Do the votes for new figures really have an impact? & Kickfiend's display looks awesome. I keep mine in boxes but I'm tempted to get doubles of all of them because they look so good posed. Dark Hawk: I'm already a member. There is also an awesome facebook group that I'm a part of Dragon Ball Z S.H.Figuarts USA. One of the members there even has a toy store and he's taking pre-orders for Android 16 ($57 shipped), Vegetto ($39 shipped) & Broly ($63 shipped) 5D's: You should! That's the best part about these figures. So many different poses to recreate. Thanks for all the love guys. Here is my updated set up: ![](https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/247159_10152898899164047_2023117827099010740_n.jpg?oh=2bc1e421c832aa54250f70bca0b7d050&oe=54EA4CF3&__gda__=1425490373_8f867dbbb4a85158f9ab78af30cbe310) I have a Datong Scouter Vegeta, Jacksdo SSJ Trunks, and an extra SSJ Goku coming in the mail. I'll post when I get them!

EDIT: Thinking Piccolo and SS Goku You can't go wrong with any of these figures, they're all really good. I know SS Goku has been re-released once or twice, but there's only been one regular Goku thus far, so not sure if that'll sway your decision at all. Android 18 and Scouter Vegeta are the only two I have. 18 is great, really love the figure. Vegeta's also awesome but his legs are really loose (most people's Vegeta figures are notorious for being so loose in the legs). My roommate has Goku, SS Goku, and Freeza. Both Gokus are basically the same, with different heads.

Went with Android 18 since he was the right price for free shipping.
I ended up signing up for Amazon Prime trial, and ordered Mario Figuarts for 20 even. Excited to see how this figures are compared to the stuff I've been jamming.

You can use your card on full price merchandise and get 20% off. It's only 10% for me. But I went today and got Naruto for 30% off with one of my coupons. I was going to go for 17 or Goku but their boxes were kind of scuffed and Naruto just ended last night so I couldn't resist the figure... back to DBZ next week! It seems kind of hard to find Barnes and Nobles that actually carry these. Only 2/9 in my general vicinity have them.

I really want to get back into collecting these, but they're so expensive. I saw a Datong scouted vegeta show up for really cheap. Is it different from the original? Also are there any plans to rerelease any of the more expensive ones? Like Trunks or Gohan? Does Datong have any plans on making them? How many has Datong actually made?

You really should of kept your DBZ figures. Oh well don't sweat man I've sold my collection about 3 times already and still managed to get them all back again. The datong Vegeta is like the original, but again it's a bootleg. Also the Datong SS Vegeta are out of stock now so if you want one I suggest you buy one soon as you can cuz they'll be gone for good. And Bluefin hasn't mention any re-releases other than probably Manga Gohan. Your best bet is that Datong will make them, I heard they're planning on making a SS2 Goku head or Adult Gohan head. And they make tons from a factory from what I know.

I would say SSJ 3 Goku is, but the bootleg head seems to be up for sale and I am totally fine with picking it up and just putting it in the regular Goku body. If I wanted to collect one of each character(not including repaints) , is this the complete list: Goku SSJ Goku SSJ 3 Goku Trunks Piccolo Gohan Krillin Frieza Cell Vegeta SSJ Vegeta Android 17 Android 18 Future releases: Vegito Android 16 Broly

Also it's rumored that SS3 Goku will be next year's SDCC Exclusive considering he needs a repaint and it will be during the Majin Buu saga which Bluefin is focusing on right now.
