Androids mostly.
Bravo!
Also, they're called Kanzenban, and they're found mainly on some Internets, they're easy to find.
Next year hopefully I'll have earned enough money for a new guitar, the CD BOX and the Kanzenban collection, bought all at once.

I really want to start picking up the Kanzenban, but I live in Australia, and the closest (and only?) Kinokuniya is in Sydney, 2 hours drive from where I live, so it's not much of an option, whats the best (and cheapest) place to buy them online?

Anybody know of a Kinokuniya or similar store in the Seattle area? I've looked and it seems like we got nothing on the West Side.

I need more Dragonball "crap"!

I have been to one of those stores and they only had the Viz manga, I was pissed.
Does anyone know a trust worthy site I could buy the Kanzenban from without having to go through a third party to have it shipped to me?

Sasuga Books? Amazon Japan?

Here's good, but I'll be saving up for the complete collection, or maybe when I actually have money I'll just buy them one at a time...

God damn, over 500+ bucks to get all of them..... YIKES.
Maybe I will just have to pick and choose a couple.

The annoying thing about Sasuga is that the postage calculator to Australia "Can't be determined at this time", I'm not going to give them my credit card info without a shipping price.

Hey, I have the same Tenshinhan set! =D
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

Finally got ahold of a camera, so..
Dragonbox and recently purchased "Babidi Saga" box set to get me closer to collecting the entire series.
Plus other stuff, since I didn't take the picture specifically to post here.
Some recently purchased games - there's a Dragonball one there (and Dragon Quest, which kind of counts because it's Toriyama).
And no, that game isn't thaaaaaaat bad.

Woah, I'd always see the occasional user post up a shot of their DragonBox(es) but I never realized how much bigger they were than normal DVD boxes. Heh, sorry in advance to the guys at kanzentai for ignoring their given box dimensions in their DragonBox guide

Is that the Japanese version of Gunsmoke.?, cause that game totally kicks ass.
