    It's REGISTERED SAL.

    Means it has a paid tracking number for a slow package.

    ya, its registered and they charge 700 yen as a handling fee along with the shipping fee. Its not really worth saving the money as it was only a 400 yen difference between SAL and EMS, which imo totally defeats the purpose of having sal, but whatever, its still cheaper than buying from hlj with sal and it'll be nice to have them in less than a week i suppose.

    I only have Deneb at the moment, but I plan on expending my collection pretty soon.

    I mainly want to focus on Main riders and all final forms(not just the main ones). As well as a few of the secondary guys I really like.(Gatack,Ixa etc.)

    Hmm.. I was hoping they'd include a happy face, but that one seems a bit out of place with he rest of the figure. I think it's the eyes.

    Although, the only Dragon ball guys I'd pick up(due to a limited budget) would be The Great Saiyaman and SS4 Gogeta.

    I doubt that last one will be made. Considering the figuarts are based on Dragonball Kai.

    I want them to make SSJ3 Goku. I dont know why but I really like that form. I got the hybrid one and was appalled at how crap they were.

    I wish they had just started with Regular Goku, I like the other forms and all (other than the gt stuff which I found to be almost unwatchable), but I like the original series more than Z and think a normal goku would look much better with piccolo.

    Yeah, I agree. They should have started with regular Goku first then maybe Fieza before releasing SSJ1.

    Yeah, I get what you mean bro but unfortunately, we're talking about Bandai and we all know how Bandai are the "kings of milking" their products! LOL!

    I saw the actual Piccolo toy at Anime Festive Asia and I was impressed by how tall the figure is! It looks taller than the average Masked Rider figure i.e. looks close to 6 inches tall! I'm trying to post pictures but somehow my photobucket account seems inaccessible. Sigh!

    ya I heard he was big, mine should be here some time this week, so if no one else posts any pictures I'll try and get some up with some size comparisons and what not. Though the quality wont be great as my camera sucks badly.

    When you order you have to specifically tell them to send SAL in the message box during check out. Didnt you read what it says when you were ordering?

    when I ordered the other day, the difference in shipping prices was only 400 yen, not enough of a difference for me to use sal, but if you want it you can still email them about it. They seem pretty easy to work with.

    Doesnt sound like SAL is worth it.

    I would've used a different site to get my figuarts this time around, but HLJ had the Motion Revives on sale, so I couldn't say no to those.

    While we're on the subject of Figuarts Goku, I can see SSJ level 3 and 4 being TW Exclusives.

    I can also see them doing Kid Goku as maybe an exclusive as well.
