I do not. Everything I mentioned with SAL shipping already blew my DB budget at the time of purchase.

The only exceptions I've made in the past were with the Limited Editions of the recent films.

I know. That's why I buy my stuff with faster shipping. I ended up buying the Super History Book with FedEx International Priority shipping and it was worth it! It still costed me less then buying from scalpers on eBay! Of course I'm not sure if you want to pay a lot for faster shipping from Japan
Oh god it's terrible.

I used SAL shipping for the first time when ordering the Toriyama Jump Ryu. It shipped on the 7th of January and arrived a day ago. Lesson learned. :crazy:

It can vary a bit, but it usually takes my SAL shipments exactly two weeks to arrive, which isn't too bad. The couple of times I've made purchases around Christmas though...that was a nightmare.

No, why would it? It's fiction. The strength of the characters is not possible to reach in reality.

Has anyone ever bought anything DB related from hobbyshop2go ? Never heard of it.

The thing is, my 6 yr old is a huge fan of this toy that is about to be released in 04/2016 so less than 3 months to go it's a specific X-Plus gigantic Vegetto limited ed. with the black hair btw. I'm a huge noob when it comes to figures and such I'm having such a hard time finding this one I saw one on hobbyshop but not sure if it's legit and the price is a bit expensive too imo but it's the only place I could find it. Any advice would be so much appreciated.

Amazon Japan. I ordered from a seller that shipped directly from the warehouse. Box was like $185 with $15 shipping. I was so stoked! Came in like 3 days!
I made a Dragon Ball hip-hop album! It has a ton of awesome rappers on it, and samples many different areas of Dragon Ball music. You should check it out!

Dang it. The cheapest one shipping from the warehouse is ¥32,800. It's still cheap compared to retail price, but it's not as good as $200, or whatever that is in yen

If you check buyee.co.jp, you could get them for about $250 shipped via EMS. Bookoff2014 on auction.yahoo.co.jp has them for really cheap, starting at about 14,000 yen. I've been checking on them everyday, and no one has bought the yet. Also, some sellers ship internationally. The Japanese dragon box 1 on there has one for $160 shipped not from the warehouse, but from the seller. It's really hit and miss.

Raging Blast 2 was my recent DBZ purchase.

Then I broke it in two because of the horrid, unbearable voice acting from Coleen Clinkenbeard's Gohan/Kid Goku.
Vegito

Veg from Vegeta + I from Bejita & O from Goku

just that simple weeaboos.

2 days ago I bought the Xenoverse Season Pass on sale for $15 on PSN. Right after that, I went on Amazon and bought the Blu Rays for Seasons 7-9.

Still in disbelief over this haul. All in one bundle... cost me $50AUS (around $35USD)!
Cost me $35AUS shipping on top of that, but that didn't bother me one bit.
Three different copies of Movie #1! xD

I'm so ecstatic.

There was a seller on eBay.... because of how much there was, they listed it as pick-up only.... since it was several states away, I assumed I was out of luck.... but by sheer coincidence, a friend on my Facebook page lived nearby, and was able to pick them up for me.

I doubt they would have gone that cheap if the seller was willing to post them.

Just bought the three-disc 'BGM Collection' CD, can't wait to get it in and have that to listen to in the car. Anything to get it off the radio more often and away from political ads. :P

Decided to pick up Dragon Ball SD after work, but my local bookstore only had volumes 2 and 3. Volume 3 came with this Gotenks Dragon Ball Heroes card.
