My Christmas list is pretty small this year. I want a new iPod Touch, the Harper's Island series DVD, and ZARD's "Le Portfolio." I already own the Dragon Box, so that's not my list. I don't plan on getting the Dragon Ball season sets... I want a Dragon Box!

I also made a "dream" list filled with things that I may never get. I've got all the Dragon Boxes there (come on, Japan Auction Center, give me a great deal!), all of the "Slump the Box" sets (all of which are in stock on CDJapan - unfortunately there's only two 90's sets left), and the ZARD Premium Box collection.

My birthday recently passed, so with some of the money I received, I finally picked up the first translated daizenshuu. There was only one left in my local Barnes & Noble - and it was a little damaged (the slip thing mostly). I got a great deal on it, though. It was on sale for $16 (I was unaware of that until checkout), and then I used a 25% coupon and walked out of the store with the book for only $12 (with tax included)!
An interviewer asks, "The soundtrack in Sonic 3 has become legendary. Is it true that you worked with Michael Jackson on it?" Takashi Iizuka kills all of our hopes and dreams by replying, "You know, those are just rumors, and SEGA does not want to say anything about them. So they will forever be just rumors..." WHY!?

I asked my dad for the Viz Daizenshuu and DB VIZBIG 2, 4 & 5. :/

The only Dragonball thing I scored was the collectors edition of Raging Blast.

I haven't popped the game in yet though.

Brace yourself for some epic disappointment Captain. Anyways It's still Christmas Eve here but I clearly have a Dragon Box under that tree!
I completely respect your opinion, and I respect you. I enjoyed discussing this with you, even if I don't completely agree.

If we're all here for a reason then I'm just visiting.

If it's held in your heart then you can't let go.

Impossible!, it comes with a completely pointless "art book" that doesn't even contain any of the new Super Saiya-jin 3 illustrations and is instead a couple of wireframe shots, some character models and then some straight up screenshots from the game.

Also it comes with some amazing DLC that lets me unlock SSJ 3 Broli from the get-go!.

..Yeah there is no way I'm going to like this game, but as a Dragonball tragic no doubt I will finish it and unlock everything.

I'm hoping to buy some more Dragon Ball Kai soundtracks aswell. I'll probably get the Dragon Soul single first! :)

You'll say that until you see how tedious getting all the Dragonballs/earning stars is.


Anyway...nothing DB-related from Santa this year...but he will be giving me money that will possibly go towards the first Dragon Box :P

I wish I had more Dragonball stuff this year, but the only thing I'll be getting that's Dragonball-related is the Dragonbox..... online, that is. And we have to get money on the Credit Card, so that'll be after tomorrow. Oh well. I'll still be GETTING the damn thing, finally. 8)

The MAIN reason I'm getting it now instead of later is this: I just want the damn thing, after sooo many years. :P And I'm going to be watching EVERY SINGLE episode of DBZ in Japanese in 2010. Starting with the first Dbox. I'll be getting the second one when it comes out, so thank GOD I don't have to watch the Namek arc in Funi's crappy remastering style. I have a feeling that set 3 will come later in 2010, seeing the closeness in the first 2 sets. As for the Jinzonengen/Cell stuff, I'll either get the Dragonboxes and watch them that way, or watch my Funi singles. I would PREFER to get the Dragonbox version of those episodes, though. The Buu episodes will HAVE to be in Dragonbox before I can watch them.
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Fan of Dragon Ball Z and various other Anime since '98! ^^

Shenlong Claus sent me Attack of the Saiyans.

And then my DS died.

I'm on vacation and don't have a charger.

I don't return home until late next week.

I got Attack of the Saiyans! And money with which to buy future Dragon Boxes!

He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

The only DragonBall related thing I got this year was the last DragonBall VIZBIG book which covers most of the Piccolo arc. I fucking love this book. I never read the Piccolo stuff before the whole tournament thing so this is all new to me and I love it. I had no idea Pilaf resurrected Piccolo in the first place!

I haven't gotten anything direcly DB-related for Christmas... YET. But I didn't really expect to, as my family knows I prefer to wheel and deal for my series DVDs and such on my own. If I'm lucky, I'll get a decent amount of Best Buy gift cards to put towards that DragonBox.

:cry: Awww man, I feel for you! How could you forget to take a charger - Not good! I hope your having a nice vacation mind, Maybe you could just go in a store and buy a DS charger in the boxing day sales. - Depending where your vacationing of course. New York (Lots of DS Chargers) Arizonia desert... (You get the picture)

I'm quite pleased, I bought my brothers the Dragonball Z Raging Blast, Of course not because I wanted to play it at all... :lol:
