Those look great! At the end of the series, if you did them all I would totally send you a message.

I definitely plan on making motion menus which is why I used the R2's as the base.
They're motion, except for the Bonus Features menu which wasn't needed.

Sure thing, but that'll be a good while away considering the time-gap between each episode and season.

My collection isn't as robust or amazing as the others here but I'm slowly adding to it :) ..... Well here it is:

EDIT: I changed the pictures to links because my camera takes HUGE pictures(3000x4000 pixels), and I didn't want to anger the people who dislike scrolling through pages of pics.

lol Even if I have all of the episodes & movies (several versions :lol: ), I don't have any toys/merchandise either. I've never really had an interest for that (no room either), the next thing I'd love to get is either the manga (only have volume 4 :( ) or the Daizenshuu art booklets

Thanks! But like BluezaBladeNZ said, I don't really have an interest in the toys/figures. The only ones I would collect are the Super Battle Collection and the US Movie Collection releases.

Well, that's not really picky. If you are describing something solely by color and you use (what is clearly) the wrong color, then... Well, you're not communicating efficiently.

This is the color. Image This is called Green-Yellow.

You can call it green, or yellow, because it encompasses both. If you wanna get technical, that is not green or yellow.

We here at these forums have a general understanding that we're calling them green bricks. I'm not saying you're wrong about the yellow. But green is what we're calling them.

So for all of you who have seen my collection.
Put a price you would pay for ALL the 112 Dragonball, DragonBall Z & Dragon Ball Kai RARE figures I have.
They are really awesome in detail and paint job. They are 3-3.5 inches but they feel bigger due to their SD fashade (facade??).
Might not be as tall but it's got a good amount of volume :P .
I'm just, you know, thinking a value that other collectors might think they have.

Remember at the time of evaluating that it's extremely hard nowadays to complete all the sets. And 80% of the sets out there on eBay are bootlegs.

For those who do not remember what I'm talking about, let me link you guys to my video so you can see them again and then judge the prices.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs00_Oh5QlY

Some(?) things to keep in mind when evaluating the value and collector wanted.

1. Extremely rare, only available in Japan, and in limited quantities
2. Super popular, very well sought after
3. Way more detail than your average SD or even some bigger gashapon
4. Very nice paint quality
5. Amount of figures: 112
6. Collector value
7. Re-sell value

OK, let's have fun and put your honest opinion, and how you would value them and what you would actually pay for the whole collection.

Edit: For those who don't want to check the video. here are some thumbails you can click to see the pictures.

You have a great collection but you would be crazy to sell your collection as 1 lot. Listing some of the rarer figures individually and then the others in lots would bring in more $. I am no expert with these figures but if you did sell them as 1 lot, I would estimate around $500-$600.
