Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
That and the WFC Goku are nice but I stopped pre ordering banpresto figures, you just don't know when they'll screw around with the final versions. Sometimes the final versions have minimal changes sometimes drastic and you won't know until a month before.
Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
That is worrisome but it is also incredibly cheap so I think I can take a risk. Hopefully they don't screw it up too much.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:That and the WFC Goku are nice but I stopped pre ordering banpresto figures, you just don't know when they'll screw around with the final versions.

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
Yeah that's a pretty good price, to bad they can't ship to the UK I might have taken the risk on that Goku.Kinokima wrote:That is worrisome but it is also incredibly cheap so I think I can take a risk.

But yeah it's only really since April of this year they been like that, before that the final versions generally didn't differ much from what I remember.

Also just ordered a Vegeta figure. I actually don't have one with his black hair and I really like his face here. It is really rare where I am satisfied with Vegeta's face in figures. He was also pretty cheap so I figured why not.

It is actually amazing to me how cheap you can get a lot of DB figures compared to so many other figures. I mean I know they aren't scale quality but even prize figures tend to be a bit more expensive and harder to get.
Edit: Apparently there is a bootleg of this figure (which seems dumb since he is so cheap to begin with). Hope I didn't get that but I should be able to return it to Amazon if there is a problem. Well I will find out Sunday.

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
Good pick, definitely liked how this one turned out, the random splodges blue on paint on the clothes is a nice touch it's kind of like he is in aura. Was kind of sad to see Banpresto drop the MSP line but fortunately they have replaced them with even better ones.Forte224 wrote:https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com ... SY606_.jpg

There are bootlegs of everything and anything, even super cheap gashapons like mini keychains have bootlegs Considering the figures are already made in China it isn't surprising that there are bootlegs for pretty much anything.Kinokima wrote:Edit: Apparently there is a bootleg of this figure (which seems dumb since he is so cheap to begin with).

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
Looks like it's sold from Japan so it should be fine(?) A lot of the bootlegs come from China in my experience. I've always wanted that Vegeta too. Just a good, black haired, no BS Vegeta figure. Haven't pulled the trigger yet though. If I'm not careful I'll empty my whole bank account on Dragon Ball figures and mediaKinokima wrote:Forte224 wrote:https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com ...

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
Is it just me or does the Goku side of that Vegeta figure not look as good? All the reviews praise it but I've never been able to get myself purchase it because his face just doesn't seem quite right while Vegeta's is spot on.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:

The one I am getting is shipping from the US since I am getting it in 2 days with Prime. But the reviews for the store are positive so that is a good sign. Amazon resellers are always a bit of a risk (although not as bad as EBAY). But yes I definitely avoid anything shipped from Hong Kong or Taiwan.
I really like the Vegeta figure you bought too. I like that outfit on him.
Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
Agreed, really wish they kept it on him after the Universe 6 Tournament arc, it's his best outfit for my tastes. Good luck with the figureKinokima wrote:Forte224 wrote: Looks like it's sold from Japan so it should be fine(?) A lot of the bootlegs come from China in my experience.

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
So I decided to be completely insane and start hunting down the two disc "part" releases of Kai on blu-ray instead of the four disc "season" sets for a couple reasons.
1. The blu-rays for Final Chapters look like they're based off the parts instead of the seasons and I would like the consistency. (I doubt Final Chapters will be getting seasons since there's only three parts)
2. I prefer the Yamamoto score for the episodes that will have it. I like Kikuchi too but you can kind of tell the placement of it in Kai was rushed.
3. I like the extra character art on the covers.
4. I have no idea if Super will ever get season sets or not but I will likely be getting the parts for that as well and Kai more or less leads into Super in a weird way.
So far, I've been able to find parts 1 and 5 for decent prices so I have those on their way. I'm assuming parts 5-8 will be easier to find since both the parts and seasons releases of those episodes use the same score and aren't as coveted as parts 1-4 are.

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
Good luck hunting them down! I foolishly sold my Kai season sets to get the parts but didn't realise how much Parts 1-4 were! I have Part 2 & 4 on BD and Part 3 on DVD, still haven't gotten Part 1 yet but I then bought Season 3 and 4 on BD again (but this time MangaUK's release) recently cuz it worked out cheaper than buying FUNi's Parts 5-8 separately. And I have all three parts of FUNi's "The Final Chapters".SqueakyBoots wrote:So I decided to be completely insane and start hunting down the two disc "part" releases of Kai on blu-ray instead of the four disc "season" sets for a couple reasons.

Safe to say my Kai collection is pretty inconsistent.

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
No pre-orders unfortunately they're basically prize lotteries in Japan, folks buy a ticket and they get prizes based off what the ticket says.Forte224 wrote:Is there a place I can pre order these?

So once these go live in December your best bet is to scour Japanese auction sites for people selling them. I'd avoid eBay since Japanese sellers usually overprice things on there like last months Ichiban Kuji Vegetto Blue's were selling for over $100.
