And to Saiyamel, For a second I thought that Goku was the Medicom figure, and I became jealous, but then I realized it wasn't, and relief came over me, in an awesome wave.
It's made by Banpresto. It's quite rare - I preordered it a year ago,, it was out of stock at the time and it wasn't until Spring when he finally arrived... There's a thread here way back discussing this figure.

Some more of my shizzle...

I can't read Japanese except for a couple of words that I've come to recognize - such as "Saiya-jin", got them anyways... :P I love the illustrations.

Why is there English on the cover on the Daizenshuus?

Aw..photobucket resized it, the image is actually quite a bit larger..
You know, if you had all of those for all the covers, that would rock mightily.

I'm just saying ;)

I could scan most of them. I wouldn't remove the numbers though.

Did that copy of Dragonball Z Son Goku Densetsu come with the sticker page? If so (and this goes for everyone who has it) could you please scan the stciker of the symbol of Saiya-jin royalty, please?

Thank you very, very much SaiyaMel, I have been wanting that scan for a long time now! I plan to eventually make a family crest with that symbol as the main feature...and a few other things.

Thank you MajinVejitaXV for offering, but I just got it, as you can see. The funny thing is I don't have an AIM account but I do have a place to upload pictures (PhotoBucket)...well I thought it was funny.

Thank you ^^ I have a new background now. Though if you could mail me the bigger one somehow I'd appreciate that too.

I'm torn as to wether to get the Dragonbopxes/singles or not. They're beautiful and fantastic but very, very expensive.... oi.

Sadly the resolution dips in a few of them (from 1280x1024 down to 900x720) but thats only four or five, I also have HQ scans of the exterior covers (numbers and all) at a much higher resolution (the .rar weighs in at about 100mb), so If you're interested I'll upload it aswell.

It's at full resolution (1280x1024) in that file I uploaded, along with two other Piccolo covers and a Dende and Polunga cover :)

I'm currently considering replacing the two dreaded season sets I had to purchase to close the gap between my UUE Saiya-jin saga dvd's and the Ginyu stuff, with the Dragonbox singles, but they don't come cheap :( so I know your pain.

I'm glad, because I'd ask for my money back, it's asymmetrical as hell and the flames look like crap.

I'd also be very, very much interested in scanned dbox singles.

Well, guys if you want to buy the Dragon Box singles, the best place would be cdjapan.co.jp. I bought all of my singles from there, and it's pretty good, with all of the discounts etc...

Trust me. I bought the singles and never regretted it. I've still got 16 singles to buy, though. It's expensive yes, but the quality makes up for it. :wink:

Whats the use when I have the boxsets? I just want to print myself pretty "single versions" to put my own backups in there.

Edit: I see someone said they were wondering wheter get the singles or not, so you surely were answering that ^^; I'd say yes, get the singles!

I'm thinking of getting myself either the Dbox sets or the singles sometime down the road.

One of my first additions to my collection:

I also have two orange bricks that I'm thinking of selling... on the other hand - I'm keeping that Pioneer DVD in my DB treasure for nostalgic purposes. :D
