Amanda?! You're a girl?!
Anyway, that's pretty impressive, the only DB toys I have left are the Tenshinhan and Piccolo
Crazy Bones.

Oh my god, I remember those
DBZ Crazy Bones! Those were one of my first experiences with DB.
I remember I didn't know who Yajirobe and Raditz were, so due to their hair, I thought they were brothers.

Did they only come out in the UK? Are they rare?!
Tell us Oldphan! We need to know!

Crazybones actually came out in America as well - in the UK they were released under he name of Gogos. Read more about them here!:

I actually don't have anything from the Cray Bones DB series - they are pretty highly sought after now though!
All the best,
Oldphan

Oh man, I had a few of those Crazy Bones years ago.... I'd forgotten all about them!
I wonder if they're still around somewhere?
And thanks, Oldphan.

Yup. I think you may be right about that, Rambo. There was two different versions of this program. The one on the right is definitely for the Pippin, though. I remember well what the cover looked like.
The last time I saw that on eBay was, like, 6 or 7 years ago and it was going for around $200 if I remember correctly.

But the box on the right clearly says "CD-ROM for Macintosh" in the top left corner...

Wow, great collection Kingdom Heartless! I have to say that :
Australian packaging > American packaging
Too bad that Season One's Spine doesn't fit in with the others. I like the Fat Packs a lot more than the shitty Digipaks we got.

The members here have inspired me to work harder on my collection, which is part of why it's expanding so much.
I want to start getting more stuff imported though.
And yeah, the fact that the spine image doesn't match up has bugged me for a while aswell.

Wow, very impressive. I've been wanting to see your collection for some time now, so thank you! Just what you've showed so far has lived up to (and surpassed) my expectations. Do you have any idea how many more parts it will take to cover your complete collection?

I might actually end up needing your help someday by photographing some of those figures for a site I'm working on...

Ya, but it seems (I didn't even know this) that there are actually three versions, like
LPPanther said. There was a PC version and a Macintosh version (shown in
the picture) as well as a Pippin version. The Pippin version was not in that picture, and
here is an image of the cover for you.
Here's a little album of tons of neat images of the cover, the back, the booklet and screenshots of the Pippin version:

I have to admit, it certainly is a guilty pleasure for me.
But I've always been the kind of guy who needs a vice, and Dragon Ball is as good a one as any.
