Grabbed two of these
Dragonball Z Deformation Candy Toy figures two days ago, and ended off with the Videl and Dabura chibi miniatures.
Funny story; I was with my cousin at the time shopping for groceries when these things caught my eye. Unfortunately the packaging of these figures don't indicate which figure out of the set of ten you'd be purchasing. So, I started opening a few of the boxes up, and the manager caught me. I simply said.." I'm going to purchase these ", threw them in my basket and continued looking around the store with the man trailing me and my cousin for the rest of our visit.

A couple days ago I picked up orange bricks 4+5 and the first two Movies. Only cost me $75 AUS because I had a gift voucher, but Disc One is missing from orange brick 5. I'm going out later today to exchange it.

VIZ DBZ 10, 11 and 12. Now I'm finally done buying the manga, at least for a good while (I'd decided to take a long break after the Freeza stuff was done).

I can't lol, that was a typo, for some reason I kept putting Season 9 on every clip, I fixed it though so there will be no confusion

I think my latest "purchase" of a Dragonball item was a copy of Dragonball Origins for the DS. (Though, I'm not sure if it counts, since I got it in exchange for an extra gift I'd gotten at Christmas. >_> )
I haven't played it yet, though, unfortunately. Been playing with Chrono Trigger instead.

Art, etc. links taken down for now. Will be updated at some point. I dunno.

These finally came in last week for me! Apparently, the Chichi and Bulma I ordered is in already, but I got that with the other Bulma, so I can't pick those up yet...
And I with the exception of 2, got these quite recently as well (and in case you didn't notice the Columbia Dragonball & Dragonball Z 5-cd set in the last picture, which I got this past weekend))

I find it interesting that out of all those crossover figures, the Goku one is the only one with close to Human Proportions. Not that Akira Toriyama ever drew Goku that way anyway.

I still need to get a copy of DB Origins. I've been busy with Chrono Trigger myself, good to see another fan.
dchan, those DB/OP crossover figures look amazing, so glad I'm getting them. I actually have them on the way, they're waiting to ship but the 2nd half of the order has to be restocked before they send them. Blah.

Nice! That Krillin is one of the few Banpresto vinyls I'm still missing, hahaha. He's very cool! Nice set of Realworks and Deformation figures as well man.
All the best,

Just got home with volume 4 of DragonBall and volumes 1-3 of Dr Slump.

Gohan: At least he doesn't have his sword out anymore.
Kuririn: Yeah, and your dad put his finger away too.

The Goku and Luffy ones are cool, but the Bulma and Nami ones are so softcore I'd be embarrassed to display them.

Valentine's cards. "1 for teacher and 24 for your friends!"

Found them in a dollar store and couldn't resist.

Thanks! I had a budget to stick to whilst at the hobby shop, and I had quite a dilemma upon the selection between the vinyl Kururin, or Muten Roshi.

Trust me, when I tell you that it is the sex. It's a great figure, and for about six or seven bucks; it's well worth the price.

haha Awesome. I've seen it on ebay, but they want like $11.99 plus shipping. Any other place you know of that I could find it?

Just picked up GT Season 2, DBZ season 8 and Movie 7 and 9 two pack at best buy. I got them on Friday, so I guess they released them a few days early. Plus I had over a hundred bucks in gift cards from Christmas, so they were all free for me. Glorious Day.
