Yeah I need to grab 17 and 16 when he's out. I would buy Frieza if I could find him at a reasonable price and I'll probably grab Gohan as well. Broly looks like a boss too. The roommate got Frieza back in the day, right after I got Vegeta. We both lucked out since they go for absurd prices these days. Broly does look great though, I think that's one my roommate's gonna grab eventually. A question for you though, how much do you guys pay for the figures you buy? Because I saw on spam that 18 was like $80 but I found her at my local comic store for $55.

Because I saw on spam that 18 was like $80 but I found her at my local comic store for $55. I got all of mine for retail price. I paid 40 bucks apiece for 18 and 17 at Barnes and Noble, and got Vegeta off Amazon for under 50 shipped. Pretty sure my roommate's figs were all off Amazon at regular price as well. BUT that was when they were all relatively new - once the production run ends is when the prices jack up. So in the case of Android 18, you probably got her when the production run ended, but your store still had them available. Same with me - I caught a break, since she'd already went up in price online, but Barnes and Noble still had her for retail.

Barnes and Noble sells these? Lol B&N sells all different types of figs these days. DC Collectibles, SH Figuarts and a bunch of other Bandai Tamashii Nations stuff, Hasbro's Star Wars figures...it's actually a pretty good spot for figures.

Hi, is this still available? Would like to have trunks. Please email at farooqrahat@yahoo.com. With how expensive these are getting, I think I'm gonna sell off the ones I have. Open to offers! Would prefer to sell all 4 at once

I think my stores might be too small because I never see Figuarts except for Mario. One B&N in my area has a nice selection of merchandise, but still nothing Figuarts related. They even started to carry Bandai Gundam items. I don't mind buying online, but sometimes it's fun to get something in an actual store.

What would be the best/cheapest way to go about getting Broly at this point? Is there another wave being released in the future, or is it just every man for himself now?

It's every man for themselves now. Bandai announced that they are out of Broly's and B&N will be the last store to get their final shipment. They sold out in a matter of hours, so best place to get him now is off eBay before he rises more in price.

Do the actual Barnes and Noble stores even get anything anymore? I haven't seen anything new since Android 17 and haven't been checking the internet enough to realize I've screwed myself out of a Broly.

Been seeing some people with Android 16. I'm gonna grab him since I have 17 and 18, and having 2/3 of a stable is unsatisfactory to me haha. I already said to my roommate that if they ever make Ginyu Force, I'm not buying any because then I'll have to buy them all. Knowing him, he's the type of d*ck head who'd buy me one of them just to make sure I had to go buy the rest

I would loooove it! haha

So I bought Android 16 today at Barnes and Noble. First time I'd seen him, so I figured I might as well to complete my Androids stable. Gotta say, might just be because he doesn't have as many extras and the extra money (62 bucks compared with 40-45 each on the other two), but I'm not as impressed as I was with 17 and 18. He's not BAD at all, by any means. But just not as much in terms of options as either of the other two.
Still, he IS a good figure overall. I'd recommend him.

I had no idea there was a line of amazing Dragon Ball Z figures until I saw this thread! I recently received Naruto and Super Saiyan Goku (re-release, I think?) and have seen some pretty cool set-ups with stands and ki blasts etc. I know the ki blasts are included with certain figures like Cell, Frieza, Krillin etc but my only question is could anyone recommend what stands would be the best for display? I've seen some on Amazon but I'm not entirely sure which would work best. Also, here are protos of Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku and Golden Frieza from the new movie; Resurrection 'F' incase some of you hadn't seen

The stands that are best for display are the Tamashii Stage Act 4 Stands.

Darkhawk Ah, I know man. I only looked into these figures earlier this month and can't believe how many characters have been released and how high the prices are! Fortunately I only wanted Naruto and Goku, if they make a Vegeta from the Majin Buu saga and SS Gogeta I'd get those too. And thanks for the info on the stands! They're quite pricey too but these figures look so much better posed
