Good to know this release is already starting to ship out. I'm - hesitantly, at least for now - not going to be picking this up, but I'm still looking forward to reading some reviews on it. My friend is interested in this release, so I'd like to be able to relay the good and the bad to him before he...

After running a search on that, I was able to find out that this Vegeta is only part of a larger set of Dragon Ball figures and other items released under Banpresto's Ichiban Kuji line, which consists of material from a variety of different anime such as Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Macross Frontier,...

After fiddling with the image off the R2 Dragon Boxes a little, all I have to say is that they'd better reposition Gohan if they want it to look good. If not, just his head and neck would be poking out. =P

Not a big deal, the mere presence of this on my shelf will be enough to make it look awesome.

Oh no, Broly sparked another power level discussion. Damn you Spike, you knew this would happen didn't you!? The game itself really just looks meh to me. The graphics are a slight improvement, but the gameplay just looks like any Sparking/Budokai Tenkaichi game. Honestly it doesn't even look very im...

I know I personally am sick of all the Broly hype. I just don't see what's so special about him, he's an insane Saiya-jin who's pretty strong - big deal. But in terms of what-if characters, I'm sure an SSJ3 Vegeta edition would've gotten a more positive response here. SSJ3 Vegeta= big deal. I dont ...

A side note to y'all that havent pre-ordered the DBox yet I just want to let you know that Amazon has once again lowered the pre-order price to 55.99 but I don't know until when this'll last. If you haven't decided pre-order from Right Stuf and use their promotion for FUNimation products which is d...

Well fuck my ass and call me a bitch... Way to give in to the 12 year old, hyperactive American Broly fanboys, Spike. :roll: Better those then the rest of the whiny bitch community huh? At least they know how to be thankful instead of bawing for basically everything. The thing is, I'm sure the vast...

Ugh. I haven't been following this game much, but seeing this just filled with an emotion that crosses between anger and disappointment. Did they really have to dig into the AF-esque barrel to pull out characters for this game? Sure it's fanservice, but this is about as low as fanservice can ever ge...

Curious, has anyone that's pre-ordered from Rightstuf received a confirmation email? I know my order went through, since I went through the confirmation screen, but I'm surprised I didn't get an email. I also can't seem to find a way to access the order from Rightstuf's site. Is there a way to view ...

For all those who haven't pre-ordered yet, know that Amazon has raised the price for the DBox from 55.99 to 71.99; don't forget though that you can still pre-order over at Right Stuf with their FUNimation sale, just use the coupon dragonball and get the DBox for 40% with free domestic shipping at t...

Re: Anyone skipping the DB,GT,Movies DBOX?

I could be waiting till 2011 just to be told there will be no DB,GT or Movie DBOX'es . FUNimation's press release for the Dragon Boxes stated that they have all of Z and the movies, so barring some unforeseen circumstance a movie Dragon Box or Boxes will be a reality. Back when the Season One set c...

Well, I'm glad the new releases for Movies 1 and 2 aren't from the Dragon Box, because I want a Dragon Box, not individual releases. The cover art being similar to the widescreen TV specials hopefully proves that they're just Double Feature re-releases.

But it depends, what is the office's time policy in holding received packages? That's the thing, whenever I have a package shipped to school I'm around to pick it up the day it arrives. I'm not sure how long they're willing to hold on to it for, especially through all of Christmas break. For now, m...

I'm wondering about this. What material did TFS use? Funimation's or Toei's footage? Sorry if I have not watched DBZ Abridged. The reason I'm asking this is because I have heard or seen the video about Funimation liking TFS's works. So, suppose TFS used Funimation's "Remastered" footages,...

Two, and this is generally more geared toward Rightstuf's shipping of pre-ordered material, if the release dates does end up being December 15th, that's right in the middle of finals week for me. I wanted to get it shipped to my dorm, not my house. Chances are I'll still be around since it's only t...

I'm surprised there isn't a Freeza one considering where Kai is heading into at the moment. Well, maybe in due time, if they make one they'll probably just wait to do it in his final form.

Alright, as utterly lame as this is going to make me sound, I've never done an online pre-order before. I always order things after they're released, or simply go out and buy them. As such, I have a few questions for a pre-ordering newbie like myself. For one, is the price of the item deducted from ...

I can also vouch for that. One day while relaxing between classes, my friend had some Edamame with her and offered me some. Eventually I ended up eating half the bag, heh. They're definitely very addictive. Of course now I'm going to forever see the comparison between them and Senzu, and it's just o...

As far as I can tell, I'm the only one that's in favor of the delay if it ends up happening, I'm biased with my lacking of funds at the moment, though I guess if I'll have some at the beginning of next month it won't really matter in that case anyway... It would be cool to have it early, but if it's...

I got mine on eBay, but they don't seem to be too common on there anymore. Hm, well I'll definitely keep my eye out every so often now. I'd love to own a Senzu jar to...store various healthy snacks in, I suppose? As for the candy from the first post, is it just me or is it not a very good idea to b...
