That's so awesome. Seeing your collection makes me want to sell my whole Saint Seiya myth collection to buy the Dragon Boxes instead. lol

Congrats on your completion. :D
Thank you very much! :)

Took me 6 frickin' years.

Question: what's the rule about selling DBZ stuff? I see some people start a thread, and other times, a link to an eBay auction. So what are the do's and don'ts? (sorry if I posted in the wrong section for this question. I thought this might be the best place to ask since it's about people's purchases)

My dream release would be Budokai Tenkaichi Soundtrack (mostly 3), but I doubt it..... I'm now in no purchasing mode, because I don't want or need really something now. There is too much of things....

Used to retail over $100, and with shipping I got it for $22. I now have all of the DB two-dvd sets that were produced and they look unbelievably lovely all together. I love the whole design of this release, from the boxes to the disks to the menus, and I already had all of them but one so I figured why the hell not? :D

Next thing I'll be getting will probably be my English Dragonbox. MUAHHAHAHA!!

Dragonball Season 1... It's a pain in the ass tho as Funi have not made it able to play on Region two players like the orange brick set... Grrr. :evil: It finally came after weeks of waiting and now I can't play it on the big tv with surround sound :cry:

Hmm, no idea. I guess I like the images, card designs, the shiny prisms, and easiness for storage?

It's like how some others love collecting figures. :D

This isn't directly related to Dragon Ball, but I picked up 36th Chamber of Shaolin, which was a movie that heavily influenced Krillin and the "Oran Temple." I got it at Wal-Mart for $7.50. It's a fantastic DVD transfer; the colors are bright and vibrant, there is very little visible film damage. The only problem I had were some typos in the subtitles :lol:.

Anyway, see the resemblance?

You might not be able to tell from the picture, but there are also incense burns on the guy to the left's head.

Anyway, I suggest you guys check out the movie because there are quite a few things in the movie that I could see had a big impact on Dragon Ball. And it's only $7.50. How can you beat that?

Shinobi-03 sent me his Arabic box sets and they just arrived... definitely the most bizarre Box set I've ever seen, it's cover in adverts for other box sets too.

Hopefully soon I'll have some free money to buy the Dragon Box and the new German box.
