... That is, whenever I can find it in stock...
If it helps, I found it on sale both at Forbidden Planet and HMV. Though it was £35 at HMV so I bought it at FP for £30 :D

Well, lemme first explain that I'm apparently such a hard person to shop for (FUNi DBZ singles aren't exactly commonplace anymore at stores) that my parents just let me look up what I wanted on amazon and had it charged on their card. Not exactly Christmas-y but that's how I got the bulk of my presents.

In terms of DB stuffs, I just got Cell Games- Nightmare's End and World Tournament- Black Out. Though I was very much tempted to get something along the lines of the first Madman release and DB Saga 9.1 to finish off my DB DVD collection (well, with exception to the movies) but figured against it last second. Darn recession makin' me stingy with my moneys :(.

I also got DB: Origins on my birthday (November 30th). An alright game overall.

Really? When did you buy it? A search of both HMV and Forbidden Planet brings up no Origins (or IW, for that matter...). :?

I even tried "dragon ball" and "dragonball" and I couldn't find it (I tried "dragon ball" on HMV and got no results whatsoever... heh). I even tried just "origins" on FB and it was nowhere to be found.
New to the forum? Just want to know when you'll hit your next posting rank? Ever wondered why some users have special titles, and what they mean? The answers to all these questions and more are waiting for you in the Kanzenshuu Member Hierarchy Guide!!

I used a gift card I got for Christmas from my sister to pick up Dragonball Origins today, so I guess that kinda counts as Christmas swag.

I bought us the Goku/Luffy crossover figures, and that's it for DB stuffage.

DragonBall: Origins. And um... that's it.
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

My father bought me a wall scroll a few days before.

It wasn't for christmas, but it was in the spirit. :P

He saw a poster for GT, but didn't buy it because he thought he saw a curse word. Apparently, they put a small space in the word "Cardass" and it was a little misleading. :lol:

I'm not really sure what "card ass" could have meant. Unless he thought it was some weird Japanese insult.

Probably not, he most likely just saw the "card ASS" and passed on it. I explained it to him, though, and he understands now.

Dragon Ball: Complete Song Collection
Such beauty exists in CD form?! Does it really have EVERY song from the Dragon Ball anime?
It has 17 tracks: the opening, ending, and every insert song, in addition to five bonus songs and a remix of the opening. I quite love it.

It's got its own section devoted to it on this page of the main site, if you want a written tracklist.

I got my very first Dragonball Doujinshi this Xmas, it's called Nature and it's a Yamcha one. :D
