I got the GT Complete set from wal-mart, but a quick question, did the GT sets come with a little book like DB and Orange Brick Sets? My complete series set is sadly without one.

FUNimation stopped printing them to be more environmentally-friendly.

No joke, they did, and that was the explanation.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

Instead of just getting rid of the booklet, they should have stopped the entire bricks production, at least of DBZ's and gone with Dragon Box Z in singles/etc.

My most recent Dragonball purchase was... Museum collection #1. Which was a kickass price but was used. And also the pegs were bent alittle. and when I tried to put it back together. the clear stick broke :shock: . Now I want to ask is there anyone who knows where you could get replacement ones? I don't even know the term for the clear sticks so I don't know what to search. It isn't like it was a high quality stick to hold them in place. but I'd really like a new one b.c hot glue is really not the way I want this to be displayed

EDIT I found clear rods don't worry xD

I recently purchased Dragon Boxes 7,6,5 and 4. Now I just have to find 1,2 and 3 for prices that don't cost an arm and a leg.

I don't know... That unlabeled Blockbuster tape looks tempting to me... The thrill and mystery of trying to guess what is on it! Is that the one you picked?

Fantastic Arts - Bulma & Son Gokou.
It's pretty neat. You can take Goku off the motorbike or keep him on. It comes attached to a stand that says "Dragon Ball" on it.

Picked up Daizenshuu 3 and 5 (TV Animation, Parts 1 and 2) at the local Book Off, for 900 yen each. #3 is missing the poster of the cover illustration, but both are in very good condition for their age.
