Totally agreeing on wanting to see pics of those. They look like they'd be awesome on a shelf all together.

I've been meaning to make this post for a long while.

Image

YEAH GOKU PLUSHIE!!! Paid $15 for him.

Image

I really like these guys, but I fear they're boots. Paid around $30 for all of them.

Image

Ah my now beloved Irwin Figures with guns, at $4 a piece I couldn't resist.

Image

A set of Irwin Mini-figs at $3 and a DragonBall Gachapon Beach Ball for $2.

Image

Lastly, some keychain gachapons, $2 each from the machine.

30 bucks for the entire REALWORKS GT set? Nice!

Image

Grabbed these on a customer appreciation day at Best Buy. Two more sets to go. Hurrah!

Image

Finally got this sweetness a few weeks ago in the mail. Came in excellent condition, and so did I.

Alright..so that was in bad taste I suppose.

That Bulma is awesome, Snail. I was going to pre-order her and the Chi-Chi one, but I had to choose between them and the One Piece crossover figures at the time.

Thanks! I'm certain that you made the right choice to pick up the One Piece crossover figures first, since those things sell like hot cakes and go out of stock fast! On the flip side, I'd recommend that you pick up the Pichi Pichi Gal figures a.s.a.p. I'm under the impression that interest on those sweeties are swirling around quickly, and they'll be out of stock on most sites soon as well.

Yeah, it seems like most of them go out of stock/production pretty quickly. Already missed out on some good stuff in the past like that. Damn not having enough money to go around to support my addiction. :P

Usually I don't buy dub-only DVDs, but I just had to buy....

Dragon Ball Z movie 3 AB version ((also known as "Big Green Dub"))

The voices, the lines... :roll: You have to buy one if you find it for the sake of a good laugh

I'm seriously debating purchasing one of these off the Funi site. It's the postage that is going to sting me ($10) ouch.

I just picked up GT Season 2. I finished watching it last night. It's pretty enjoyable. I liked the shadow dragon saga, but I hated the super 17 saga (with the exception of the Krillin and 18 segments).
Overall, I liked the first half of GT much much better. I didn't like the ending at all.

I really, really, want that medicom Goku, and I know somewhere where I can get it, but I am really afraid of it disintegrating.

Nah, it's just one of the stock ones Nintendo gives you. Sorry, it just matches the Gachapons so well.

For the first time ever I've seen Bandai's New DragonBall toys in stores in Canada (at Zellers of all places, Toys"R"Us didn't have any...). Picked up Vegetto, and both quick changing version of Goku and Vegeta. The Vegetto cost $8. The Goku and Vegeta $12. I think I may buy the rest just to build Parunga.

SJ USA had a DragonBall CCG promo card included (also had an add for a DragonBall Evolution Posterzine).

Got UB22 for just above $3 with taxes and EDGE card. Works fine.

Ebay for $65 with of course the massive $25 shipping, but I was willing to spend it. Bulma will forever symbolize my financial debt. :lol:

In reality, I'm paying about $200 for it since I used my debit card even though I do not have money in the bank, so the bank is charging me multiple fees. They took $60 away from me already and I still owe them $130. I knew that I had no money when I bought it, but I just had to have it since it is extremely rare now. I might as well keep spending their money before they shut down my account. I am a menace to the economy!
