Wow I'm actually located to 5 of the stores that have these machines. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled on these things.

Nearest one is in another country. No thank you.

It's too bad most of the figures are the stock power-up pose. Vegeta, Trunks, and Buu look *really* good.

Anyone who's planning to try the game want to sell Buu, if you manage to get him instead of the one you were aiming for? :P

No wai! There are, like, three near where I live, and I don't live in a very big area. I'm definitely going to keep my eyes out for this. I'm not a toy collector, but if I see one I'll have to try for Vegetto or Buu. :lol:

I still can't get over the fact there isn't a single one in the state where DB was "made" for North America. Not one. Second largest state in the U.S., plenty of stores and retail outlets, and nowhere to be found.

Thanks, Rocketman!

I wonder if these are anything like the Naruto: Shippuden crane game I've seen at my local Walmart.

I wonder if that's what their gonna replace with the DBZ one.

Dragon Ball was made for Montana?

But seriously, there's none in New Mexico around where I live either, and we're the fifth largest state....

YES!!! See, I wasn't in Heaven when I saw these! They're real! :D

All I have to do is drive down to the nearest AMC (about 20 miles or so) and *hopefully* pick these up in the future. Absolutely amazing that there are more than I saw. :shock:
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

There are three places that have these within twenty miles of where I live according to Blipstar. That's awesome.

Huh, it looks like 4 Wal-Mart's nearby have them. I gotta remember to bring money of my own the next time I'm at Wal-Mart.
