>>8377706It's a risk honestly. As someone who's been collecting these God-awful figures for about 6 years, it really depends on how popular the character is and how much stock there is.
Example - Goku Black. If you didn't pre order him you going pay scalper price.
The 1-2 month period is golden time to buy "some" figures. I got my Jiren on ebay for $47 free shipping, but now he's $65ish.
Honestly P-bandai is great for me with some downsides
>$10 shipping If you don't see it for pre-order on Amazon get it on p bandai
Overall it's your choice and risk
Some figures do stay the same price for months, but it really depends on who...
