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:
Even air mail is not that good either. I had bought a copy of LACCO TOWER's Light Pink single (with the poster) with air mail and it came in the 12 day maximum, when it says it should take 5-12 days

SAL seems to be taking extra long this time. As I had previously mentioned, it usually only takes about 2 weeks to the day for me, but I'm just about to pass the 3 week mark. I wouldn't be so antsy, but I really want my Super History Book. lol

Yeah man, that book sure is amazing. Hope you get that soon. Anyways, does anyone know where you can find the Godly Best Limited Edition in stock? Unlike the Super History Book, I made the bad decision of not preordering it ahead of time. I expecting it to be on iTunes Japan, but unfortunately, it isn't. Amazon Japan and CDJapan are currently out of stock. I'm aware I can just pirate it, but I really want to support the official release

Got in that 3 CD set I'd mentioned before, kind of surprised since it wasn't expected until early next month. A little disappointed since the case is a bit beat up, even though I bought this thing brand new...but eh. International shipping and all, I'm willing to be a little bit more forgiving, and the CD's themselves seem fine, so I'll manage.

Last month I got Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butōden for the 3DS. An okay game, but not something I'd spend dozens of hours on.

These I believe are 100% uncensored (including Popo) but they were never finished

I want to say it was because parents were mad at the objectionable content (but later printings had 13+ on them) so I'd say it was because they decided on volume releases.

They also had fanletters and art from U.S fans in the back too.

Just got a bootleg DBZ box set. Should be quite interesting (it also says the Japanese audio is in stereo, which is also interesting).

^ Those blue bootleg boxes tend to pop up very often on eBay. Let us know what's the sound quality they have.

I will. Though I do wish some of the old fansubs would appear more often. Those have better sound quality than the official releases (mostly).

^ Even though fansub tapes' audio quality can be unsatisfactory it's still better than the muffled official releases.

Anyhow, I recently bought this:

My Australian disc has a glitch so I'll replace it with this one and sell off the Aussie.
