Yeah, it's not really a requirement, but they are made to be taken off easily, and are more for advertisement than part of the box.

Unfortunately, there's nothing to "handle" now, since it would be kind of redundant at this point.

But while it's nice that you guys want to help, remember that there's also a rule about backseat modding. Instead, you could use the report button to help get something taken care of. The power is yours...!

Now that that's settled. Back on topic. My most recent purchase has been the 3 Dragonboxes (1 from Amazon, other 2 from rightstuf) and Dragonball season 1 and the entire GT series (all from Amazon)

Could someone explain in detail how Best Buy's price match works? Can you, say, print out the price info of Dragon Box 2 from target.com and get it for Target's price at Best Buy? And if so, where do you show that printed out info at?

That's exactly how I've done it. It's usually up to interpretation by the individual store's manager, though. For example, for the first Dragon Box, they matched the Target price, but because it was only available online (and not in the local Target store), they tacked on the $2.99 shipping to the price, and matched that price. It was still a great deal, though, so it worked out in the end.

I took my print-out and the product itself up to the Customer Service desk rather than a standard check-out stand.

But hey, back on-topic for the thread. The Shoko Nakagawa CD is still my latest purchase. Waiting for those damn new books to show up somewhere other than just Amazon Japan... :evil:

Repurchased two games on Friday from ebay (probably arrive tomorrow) which are:

Budokai Tenkaichi 3 on PS2 (Never actually owned Sparking METEOR, only the first and Neo).
Shin Budokai 2 Another Road on PSP (Sold it ages ago but I crave it so much).

Okay, I bought this back in March, but had to wait until I could take proper photos to show it here.
I need some help identifying this model kit of casual kid Trunks.

I bought this from Amazon.com thinking "This can't be bootleg; it's being sold on a well-known site!"
But, when I got it, it's shrink-wrap looks like it was done in some red-neck way. Like they used a Shrinky-Dink oven or hair-dryer or something.

Image
I didn't touch it, this is exactly how I got it in the mail. The shrink-wrap is loose in some areas, while completely ripped in others.
The box is unusually light and when I shake it a bit, it's clear that there's just a lot of empty space.
The image of Trunks on the front is actually a sticker. The images on the back are printed on, though.

Image 2:

Does anyone know Korean?
There's something sketchy about whatever was crossed-off on both sides.
The top and the bottom of the box are identical. And once again, the image of Trunks is a sticker. I'm pretty sure that this box was meant for something else.

So what do guys think? Does anyone have any information about this company?
Why is something this sketchy being sold on Amazon? http://www.amazon.com/Elfin-DRAGON-TRUN ... 377&sr=1-1
Should I open it?
Should I get the Goku figure, too? http://www.amazon.com/Elfin-DRAGON-SONO ... 902&sr=8-2

Other figures being sold by Elfin: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_toys- ... tbin=Elfin

EDIT
I decided to open it and found that the model kit is highly detailed and looks just like it does on the box.

I'm still not sure whether it's official or not, but it looks fantastic! I might buy that Goku one, after all.

I'm not trying to stereotype(?) or anything....but looking at the quality of the shrink-wrap...and sticker-image...and the fact that it's from Korea...I'm guessing it's a bootleg.

EDIT: I just posted these in the other thread, but I thought I'd put them here, too. Got these in the mail last week.

They're great! :D

Oh, wow. They made figures of original color armor Vegeta and Nappa? Cool!

Original colored Vegeta!? :shock:

Thanks in advance! :)

Oh, you think the Grand Tour is your ally, you merely stepped into the Grand Tour. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the Super until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

A "limited paint" edition of Bardock, battle damaged. It's not at all accurate to the show.. but it's a rare figure. And I like to collect all things Bardock, so it was a must have. ^^
