Just added Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle & Mystical Adventure to my collection out of fear the 4 Dragon Ball movies won't be in a blue brick.

All I have left now is the rest of the Blue Bricks and I'll have every piece of the Dragon Ball anime.

For some reason, the next thing on my radar is a SSJ4 Goku figure standing up tall with his arms crossed. I saw one once eons ago and wanted it but didn't buy it. When I went back, it was gone. Lately I've been regretting it and looking for it but can't find it.

Kay, I know Nappa is doing his attack that destroys cities, but it REALLY looks like he's flipping Chaozu off and getting a real kick out of it due to Chaozu's back being turned.

Well I finally caved and purchased the Dragonboxes. Mainly due to a little thing called a "tax return" and through this phenomenon called a"Right Stuf" sell. I basically got BOTH boxsets for what would be the price of one if you went through Best Buy.

Well, Chaozu did annoyingly stick onto Nappa's back before he died. :P

If that's the case then Goku's about to box him up. :wink:

A friend of mine just recently got that DBZ Crane game at the theater she works at, and she won the SS(J) Goku figure for me! She said it took her about 5 tries!...which is depressing, because I did way more than that with no luck. What's even more awesome is that she isn't even a fan of DBZ/anime in general...she's one of those "Twilight" girls.

Those Crane games are awesome. Fig404 and I got 3 figures, Super Buu, Perfect Cell, and SSJ Trunks first appearance. I got Super Buu while Fig404 got the other two. We spent about $12, so that's around 24 tries to get 3 figures. We're keeping them in their boxes since the box design is coll looking.

I was so siked when I finally had a reason to go to a theater that had the crane game. But when I got there....no DBZ crane game. Instead they had a Naruto plushy crane game. I really wish they kept the site that shows the locations updated :(

I'd keep checking back. The theater my friend works at just got them recently. And my local Wal-Mart had them at first, but then switched to the Naruto plushies.

OMG i remember the first (and only time) I've ever seen the Crane Game.

Me and my Dad went to go see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen at AMC. When we were walking out, I saw the crane game. I never saw it before, and they looked like figures you'd get in Japan, with them being so detailed. Just my luck, we didn't have any cash for it. :cry: They had Cell, Buu, SSJ Vegeta, and SSJ Goku, and I think SSJ Trunks. I didn't even hear about the Gohan, Normal Goku, Normal Vegeta (he is in this line, right?) and normal Trunks until I saw pictures online. Man, did they look NICE. I have yet to find any more, and I haven't visited the AMC since I first saw them. I hope they still have them, I would love to buy one next time I go. :twisted:

And I don't know where these mystical Wal-Marts are that people are finding these things at, cause the two I go to (Parksburg and Kennett Square) have never got them. I've even been to one in NJ during our Atlantic City trip, and nothing there either. I guess PA just sucks at getting anything cool. :cry: The best things Dragonball-wise that I've seen at those two Wal-Marts were the Ultimate Edition figures (The ones with the Shenlong and Porunga that you build) and the Remastered DB (Only Season 1, boo) and DBZ (They get random ones of these, lol) sets. And I just happened to find the only Cooler's Revenge DVD I've ever seen there. They had a few copies when I got it, and I think it was $15. Completly random, and very awesome. 8) They also stocked Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan there once. They had about 10 copies in the $5 DVD section. Haven't seen them since. :lol:
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! ^^

I just placed an order for the DX Figure: Luffy-Style Bulma. Best part about about the figure, Bulma is very cheeky. :P

*Sigh* Still looking for that DX Chichi figure though.

Just bought myself an advanced birthday present.
The Dutch Kanzenban volume 6.

I noticed that in one panel the text between Bora and Goku were switched. :?
Other than that I'm just as happy as I always am when getting the Kanzenban, compared to the crappy pockets we got here a few years back.
