Since I got $250 I'll be getting lots of Dragon Ball things, but my siblings got me figures of Goku and Vegetto from the new Porunga series.

I gave Dragon Ball: Origins to my brother. I did not receive any Dragon Ball related gifts. Not sure what anyone would give, outside of the Dragon Boxes anyway. :P

As early Christmas gifts, I got DBGT Season 1 and DBZ: Infinite World. It's was my first time watching DBGT consecutively and I don't think it's as bad people put it to be, but I can definitely see where most of the criticism comes from. Infinite World reminded me of why I loved the Budokai series so much. Yes, it's quite difficult even in Very Easy, but I didn't mind the challenge. The only disappointment being the lack of beam struggles.

I bought myself those Dragonball DragonBox singles that are on sale on Amazon Japan. Then, on Christmas day, I got those old 12" DeeBeeZee walkie-talkies that double as figures of Goku and Piccolo still in their packaging.

Yeah, I did actually get some Dragon Ball stuff this year, which hasn't happened in a long time.

My best friend got me a cool Buu-saga poster of everyone chilling out, a Dragon Ball Christmas ornament, and, cementing my sheer love for her, a box with seven plastic dragon balls, each one holding a figurine portraying scenes from the Buu-saga.

She also got me a Dragon Quest VIII keychain of a Khalamari Kid, which is almost sorta kinda related.

Also, my Grandma got me the the movies 3 & 4 and 5 & 6 double feature sets, which is also pretty cool.

Also, Bioshock and The Dark Knight!

GT Season 1. That's it.

I remember one year for my birthday all I got was DB related stuff, well mostly. I got a bunch of Super battle collection figures, Japanese Final Bout, a couple DB T-shirts and so on. That was like 8 years ago, lol.

I actually got a pretty good bit of DragonBall stuff yesterday (from the best parents ever).

Dragon Ball Z: VIZBIG Volume 3
Dragon Ball Z: Movies 5-6 Double Feature

And, to top it all off...

Dragon Ball: Complete Song Collection

My first of hopefully a few more CDs! Yay! Oh, and in case anybody was wondering, the third DBZ VIZBIG has ALL of the color pages, which is a first. Oh, except for the title page gallery, but we got all of those in color with the first Daizenshuu, so it's not a huge deal. What matters is that all of the actual chapters are in color when necessary. Very awesome.

Oh, and just because I wanna show it off...

Detective Conan: Super BEST Soundtrack

Nothing to do with DragonBall, but screw it. It's mine.

Hope everybody had a Merry Christmas!

Such beauty exists in CD form?! Does it really have EVERY song from the Dragon Ball anime?

I got the GT season 1 as a present and bought Dragonball Origins with some X-mas money.

It was so great to hear Makafushigi Adventure as soon as I loaded the game up. I wonder if the American version of the game includes the Japanese song in all it's glory... (Has the British version, which uses the Japanese logo on the cover/in the game btw)

Aaaaaannnd sold.

... That is, whenever I can find it in stock...

Suck it, America!

I was about to buy Infinite World on PlayTrade, but I decided I'd wait until it came back in stock cheaper on Play's main store. And bought a Billy Connolly boxset instead. :P
