There are some things that I'll never be able to destroy from my memory. The fact that I actually paid for it makes it all worse. Then there's the misleading cover art. I hate when the art on the cover looks fabulous, but the inside is just filled with half-assed scribbles. Makes me want to kill something.
Same to you ^^
And that.... is why I really only buy circles I know now unless the book is under three dollars. If you already know who did it you know you'll like the art, how the characters are portrayed, what they do in them, the flow of the story, ect.... You pick something up for just a cover it's a dangerous game, and it sounds like ya lost this time.
An E-baying you shall go I assume?

Although I posted stuff on this thread before It was mostly, if not all doujinshi, and it wasn't even for me. Well I wanted to start my own Dragonball collection and I recently place an order for the
Pilaf Machine.
I want to have a really good collection of Dragonball crap, I hope I'm off to a good start.

Where did you order that? What was the price? I must have!
I got it from HLJ.com (Hobby Link Japan). Here's the direct link:

I got the FUNi Singles DVD Box Set of the Perfect Cell Saga yesterday! The box wasn't in the best shape, but well worth the $14! Especially since it was still Factory-Sealed.

Hm, sounds familiar. Did that happen to be from a seller on eBay that sold it for a Buy It Now price?

Ah, okay. I remember seeing one from a seller on eBay that was at a Buy It Now price $12.99 + $3.00 shipping. It was originally $8.99 + shipping, but the seller "fluctuated" the price.

Why?
Because it's the only game in the PS2 Budokai series that doesn't make me use up 90% of my Capsule slots just to use the transformation I want.
Also, GT characters for the win.

Oh. First time around, I got a good chunk into it, then through a combination of getting frustrated at it and wanting to buy another game (
I forget which), I ended up trading it in.

Well, I haven't made any recent DB purchases in a while.
I'm deciding between:
-FUNi DBZ "Saga Box Sets"
-Some sculpture/figure of Goku (be it the Palisades 2001 bust, Medicom SS Goku, Banpresto 32cm SS Goku, etc.)
