If I can afford to buy them at cons, then... yeah, possibly.

Just bought some of the original Toei Anime Festival film programs for some of the later DBZ movies. I'll do dissections when I get them. :D

I purchased Dragonball Evolution on Blu-ray. Thank goodness for the low price and my employee discount.

Bought 16 DBZ Dragon Box singles from Castor Troy... despite my intentions of buying the same episodes from FUNi. :|

Well, I should have another Gohan coming my way in a few days, courtesy of Sir Rocket of Man. (Wow, that was lame.) It's the claw game SS Mystic (PIMETARADOX) Gohan.

This shrine is gonna look damn good...

Does it count as a purchase if I played the new DBZ crane game but didn't win anything?

Was it a hard game? how many tries did you do, I've been thinking about trying my luck at the crane game soon.

I only had a couple dollars so 4 tries. The first try I happened to almost get one, but it shook loose once the crane ascended all the way back up and the box the figure was in fell down. The other three tries I didn't get a hold on anything.

They're like 6-sided boxes with holes in them and what you need to do is get one of the crane claws in a hole, but it's harder to do than it sounds.

You play it at ShowPlace 12? I saw one in there two weeks ago and about shit myself. At that time, I didn't know about the crane promotion.

No. Y'know the arcade in the mall by the food court? It's on the wall closest to the pizza place right next to the entrance. Just walk in and look right.

Interesting, I plan on trying out like 5 or 6 dollars, and if I win something after that then Ill do another 5 dollars, yeh those claw machines can be a pain in the neck sometimes.

Someone on Twitter said that they got a Cell figure after about $6 and they spent $12 on the game.

Sweet! I'm hitting it up tomorrow. I'm striving for a Tenshinhan. Once I get to my final 50 cents, I will then utter, "This is my last kiko-ho!"

Or I'll get whatever looks easiest.

When I eventually try this game out, I hope I can get a Trunks, Majin Vegeta, or Buu.

If I got any of these or all I would be one happy DBZ fan.

You guys are lucky to have found one. I went to Seaside Heights in New Jersey, and they don't have the crane game. :cry:
Gohan: At least he doesn't have his sword out anymore.
Kuririn: Yeah, and your dad put his finger away too.

Damn, 31 miles away. Not close enough. Thanks for the link though. Maybe one day I'll make the trip.
