I can't lie, I kinda want this. It has a freakin hole in the back where your "tail" is supposed to slip out through! Awsome.

Anybody want to guess how much a pair of these bad boys cost?

Not gonna lie, I'd get 7 pairs of those so I could wear one every day of the week.

So they are over $200 a pair? That's more than a little excessive.

Shame, they look pretty awesome.

They'd look better if they where skinny.

Funny story, I had one of those figures, and I gave it to my brother. A few months ago, it got chewed up by the dog.

A couple days later, I dug through my box of Dragon Ball toys and found another one I had of the same figure. He didn't know about it, so I put it back on his shelf and confused the heck out of him! :lol:

Because everyone in DBZ land wore skinny tight pants. >.> Adult man pants shouldn't even have the "skinny" option.

Vegeta did. :wink: Showin' off a little camel tail.

But yeah, I'm not a fan of tight fitting pants. Heck, I rarely even wear jeans.

I'm a T-Shirt and shorts guy. :lol:

Those jeans are so freaking cool. But seriously, Japan. No one's going to pay that much for jeans.

You should take a trip down to the expensive part of Manchester, or London sometime.

My friend bought a £300 ($479) jacket for Christmas. I've seen him wear it once! :lol: So yeah, people spend stupid amounts of money on clothes.

I have friends who spend at least $300 for a pair of sneakers, they would have no problem paying $200 for a pair of jeans. Oh, and they're not rich just extremely stupid and fashionable.

This reminds me of a Genshiken episode when Madarame went to buy clothes. And when he saw a price tag of an "overpriced" outfit, he said that he can buy a whole anime DVD set with that price!

It's in every otaku out there... including me. If it's for your fandom, cheap. But for something else, expensive.

I would believe people would pay that much for these jeans if they were made by a popular brand name company, but how many Dragonball fans would actually buy this for that price tag? Only Dragonball fans would buy this anyway, right? How much money do they think we have?

I forgot to put up the link in case anyone is interested in buying these :lol: The preorder deadline ends the 28th of this month! We've only got 14 days to make up our decision! Though it won't even be released till the 31st of December...

Oh wow, I would totally buy those jeans. XD Except that I balk at jeans that cost $20, so $200 is just crazy to me.
If they made a skinnier version, I'd prolly wear 'em...but I'm a girl, so. (I like baggy pants, though, too...but I would never give up a chance to look sexy whilst wearing DB-related clothing. XD)

By that do you mean you are twelve, and you want to reveal your age but you're too nervous to confirm it?
