Well seeing as I know you pretty much put in 2000 for them I'd say 800-1000?

Are you actually selling them? Why do you want us to value them? You can do it yourself. Just take the average price of one of your mini-figures, and mulitply it by however many you have.

I might, cuz i got to move soon and things turned to be more expensive than i thought down in Miami.
well is not that simply as just value them myself
i can say ok i vlaue them for 3 grand but other collectors and buyers might not.
so if i get everyone opinion and what they are willing to pay. i might get an idea of how much it should be the price set and who i can sell to etc.

i cant really grab the average price of the figure and multiply by the amount, why ? simply because there are Rarer figures.

i cannot do a $11.95 goku vol1 and sell ozharu vegeta dbkai vol 7 for same price , because that ozharu goes for $45.
the broly set or vol 7 for dbkai is one of the hardest and rares to find, and ozharu is one of the two most expensive of the set. why? because they are price machine figures and banpresto ship to business boxes containing at least 20 sets and only 3 of those sets are actually complete. creating more demand for the almost imposible to find figures.

I had a few figures of Saiyan arc Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta. They were terrible. The only thing they moved was their waist and their arms (up and down only). They didn't even look good. They were official too because I got them from Toys R' Us. I always wanted the ones that you can take the chest piece off and whatnot, but never got around to getting them. One time in China Town I saw a set of like every GT character, but all of their colors were incorrect (like green outfit for Goku, black hair for Gogeta Super Saiyan 4, etc.).

I don't know what they're called, I had them when I was a kid. I just know they were terrible. And Vegeta's hair had no sideburns, it just kind of looked like a really curvy "m" into his widow's peek.

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

My favorite Dragonball Z figures are the Ultimate Figures set. Those are badass.

They had a bunch of those figures in Mexico back in the day for 40 Pesos, which is $4 in USD.

Those are the American release of the Super Battle Collection, I don't think they got to release all of them, but I'm sure they didn't release all of GT. Not sure if there were actual release of these in Mexico, but based on the official-kinda-whoknows release of the series over there, anything is possible lol.

I have a few of the American ones, and some Mexican bootlegs of a couple of them. The bootlegs are weird, because they were either smaller, or larger. My friend had a Baby, Vegeta and Goku set that was actually normal sized though. That set came with Namek sized Dragonballs, a couple of which he gave me because he lost the other ones lol. I also used to have Broly and End of Z Goku in these small bootlegs, but have no idea wtf happened to them through the years.

Anyways, pics:

Most of my loose figs, the Mexican SBC bootlegs are in the corner. Ultimate Gohan and SS Buu Saga Vegeta (can't miss him lol). Also, those giant Dragon Balls in the corner.

Agreed. That figure is crapola. The HQ DX figures are so much better.

Crapola? Ok, find us some other Dragonball figures from the early nineties that look better. Seriously.

They're old. Not crap. Yes, the HQDX look way better, but that's because they're from this century. Compare any toy from today to almost 20 years ago. Everything older looks like shit compared to the newer stuff. :lol:

I am aware of that. I only said that figure was "crapola", because AnimeMaakuo said that "those are best line of figures I've come across in my life time". Which is absurd to say, considering all these awesome new figures that are currently out.

How can that be absurd? maybe he haven't seen the new figure line.

Or, maybe he has seen the new lines and due to personal preference is more inclined towards the Jakks figures. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, and maybe sentimental value on top of personal preference take precedence over the new lines... I think.
For me it's HSCF, HQDX, DX, and Digital Grade all the way to the bank. :D

I guess that's possible, but I don't believe it. Especially since he posted on a thread where people have posted their collections.
