Why did Freeza even need to lie about destroying the planet?
No surviving Saiyan was a threat to him. And I guess he kept getting work out of the survivors but that was three people. One of which was on the level of his red shirts.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersIf we lived in a world where planets could be bought and sold, you can be dang sure that rich people would buy them just to say they did.

This song needs more love.Yeah, but then someone who's richer would probably buy that planet and kill the first group of guys.
And before you think, ''Frieza wouldn't do that because that would be screwing over his previous clients, remember that in the Dragonball universe, you can do whatever you want if you are powerful enough, and Frieza was the biggest dog in the yard.
If someone offered him enough money for a planet he'd sold to someone else, of course he'd repossess it from the latter group, because he can.
One Strip! One Strip!If there are only 28 planets with intelligent life on them, then Freeza's business isn't doing too good.
More and more this idea of the planet selling organization just does not gel with anything else in the setting.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersRemember that Freiza is also very lazy. He managed to equal SSB in four months with no indication of difficult training, and he sits around in a floating pod all day instead of flying or even walking and still manage to be the strongest being alive in the universe pre-Namek, instead of growing weaker like Gohan.
His power level never changed after he was born, so he's the equivalent of those guys from Wall-E(as in having the motor abilities of a baby), yet for him that still enough to kick the ass of everyone else.
Viz has posted Chapter 38's translation
. Let's just say this one tests how much you'd enjoy the battle royale concept, among other traits.

Bardock's visions are definitely important to the plot of the story, and make a lot of sense from the point of view that he's unable to change the future he saw (which is why stories about him defying that are bullshit).
I do find it questionable that he had such a high battle power from zenkai, and I could have done without it, but that's one unnecessary line. Everything he actually did could have been done with a lower battle power anyway.
I don't think Minus' version of the wipeout really fixes anything. Freeza controlled the Saiyans, so he'd know who was deployed (as evidenced by the fact that Raditz knew Goku was sent to Earth). If he knew that only four Saiyans were deployed, then it's a perfect opportunity to destroy the planet and lie about what happened.
Freeza calling everyone back, then not waiting for everyone to get back, and then pretending a meteor destroyed the planet at that exact time most of them arrive is just silly. I prefer the idea that he took advantage of a good opportunity, and the ones who slipped through the cracks did so because there was such a small number of them.
Minus also contradicts the idea that Freeza deliberately spared Vegeta, as he was also given the order to return to the planet but chose to ignore it of his own volition.
