lol, how did you forget them? Did you sit them down somewhere and just forgot about it a second later or something?
I had a cheese pretzel. It was delicious, and when I went to through my trash away, I walked right out the door without them. Then, near the car I remembered them and ran back. It was pretty funny.

Just got Dragon Box 4 in the mail:

Also got some super exciting books last week:

I was hoping the JSAT08 book would have that black and white V-Jump comic in it somewhere, but I was just setting myself up for disappointment. At least I finally own one version of the special, though.

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

I absolutely LOVE they made the new Jump! special but I'm hating what they did with the Super Saiyan hair. Why does it look SO illuminated? They should look like they do in the new PTETSS special.

I don't know what he thinks..

But I opened mine too.

It's not everyone who have money to buy things just to have it.. And never open...

If I was very rich, maybe I could do this kind of thing..
But most of us are not that rich..

Each cent is a drop of sweat.

So, when I buy something, I want to enjoy it the most as possible.

The items that came with it are sealed and won't be opened, especially the zenny pouch. I have some old school U.S comics that sell for $18,000 and up, because what my brother and I always did was buy two. One for collectig and being sealed, the other for reading.

This was supposed to be a picture of Dragon Ball Z Kai: Part Two Blu-ray, but it wasn't in stock, so I bought Dragon Box 2 & 3.

Those guides/comics look pretty bad ass.
My recent purchase is...one of those Chara Puchi/'Sit ball' things of Recoome.
Don't make fun of me for getting what everyone says is the most retarded character LOL.
Though I was disappointed they did not have that Android #16 one I have been looking for...

I recently got SH Figurarts SSJ Goku, SSJ1/2Gohan, and Piccolo. I am supporting this line because I hope they will eventually put out more characters. They were roughly 40 bucks each.

Although I can't support them releasing a "Base Goku" because they should have just included it as a head for the SSJ one.

Received these today:

Image

They're bootleg AF figures based primarily on the molds of the Real Works and HSCF figures. While I'm generally against bootlegs especially those of the new, more recent releases (as they easily fool buyers and generally do nothing more than cause me headaches) I actually purchased these as they are not straight copies. As opposed to some factory worker stealing the molds and producing their own inferior duplicates, these are (mostly) original sculpts based on Toyble's DragonBall AF Manga.

While still technically bootlegs, I see these more as mass produced custom figures and thus worth my purchase. They are surprisingly high quality and feature detailed paint jobs, with little or no slop. They do have that distinct bootleg odor though... The SS5 Goku and Freeza's mother appear to be entirely new sculpts built from the ground up. The normal Goku and Xicor are obviously based off the HSCF Goku body with Xicor having an entirely new head, and the Goku having a mostly retooled body. The duds of the set are the Broly and SS3 Vegeta as they are straight copies of the HSCF SS3 Vegeta and the Real Works Broly. I believe they gave Broly a new tail here though. What's also interesting to note is that the bootlegger/customizer took the stand from the Real Works figures and actually removed the Z and changed it to AF.

I posted some more pics in the New DragonBall Toys thread in case anyone is interested.

Actually, they are releasing a "Base Goku" figure, in case you didn't know:

And yeah, they could of just slipped in a regular Goku head, but that's not how companies make money, after all. :|
