Some are of Goku and Piccolo and some are of Trunks. I too have been looking for the issues with Bra and Marron with little luck. Actually, trying to fin ANYTHING of Bra and Marron is near impossible. =/

Bought Two Double Features last night. The Tree of Might/Lord Slug Set and the History of Trunks/Bardock: Father of Goku Set. - $20 in total

And a couple hours ago ordered Seasons 4, 5 and 6 of the Digitally Remastered Seasons. - $40 in total. Good deals :D

It's probably from the same people who made pregnant Vegeta. :lol:

By Planeta DeAgostini or ASA?
You're right, it's ASA.

I did hear a rumour that there was a few M-preg doujins floating about.
I might just buy them if I can find any, for shits and giggles. The weirdness factor is too tempting to resist.

"Shits and giggles"?! How can anyone find that funny? I almost vomited my lunch when I saw pregnant Vegeta.

I love weird shit. Seriously. Most of my doujinshi I buy because of strange pairings or disturbing content. I guess I just have an ... "odd" sense of humour.
Preggers Vegeta didn’t bother me, I’m not into that particular fetish and I don’t really “get” it, but it’s funny as fuck to me what some people get off to.
Bizarre, huh?
I also blame the internet for desensitising me. If you’ve seen some of the stuff I’ve seen, no drawing will ever upset you.

I haven't read many doujinshi, but I also am intrigued to see how certain odd pairings can be written into something believeable. I've wanted to buy some of these doujinshi, but I don't have the money nor am I in the know about different websites that sell them.

I can't read Japanese yet, so I really don't know how believable the writing is, of any doujinshi.
Check out ebay for doujin. Mostly it's overpriced, but you can find some cheap items at times. Or contact a shopping service and use Yahoo Japan Auctions, it’s usually much cheaper than ebay.

Oh god, Blue Lynx. They've got lovely art but the stories are just... awful. I stopped after picking up one. There is however a circle they work with quite often called Pink Palace who's freaking -awesome- and I can't recommend them enough.

I mainly buy for art anyway. I even buy doujin that's crappy if it's got an awesome cover.
Thank's for the recommendation, I'll be sure to check PP out. I think I might have a doujin by them already, hmmm.

I got the Golden Warrior art book today in the post. I'll post pics if anyone would like me to. Also, I am waiting on my GT Perfect Files to arrive. Then, I hope to buy the Kanzeban guides, and the TV anime guides. My wallet is hurting already. :P

I'll get to work on some pics!
I saw it on ebay, and snagged it while it was cheap! I've found another cheapish one too. Here http: http://cgi.ebay.ie/Dragon-Ball-Z-Anime- ... 2255wt_905
If you are interested in this book, I really recommend you get it. You have the Viz Daizenshuu, don't you? I think I saw it in your collection a while back. Anyway, the pictures in this book beat the crap into pictures in the Daizenshuu. They really are really nice. Some of the pictures you can literally drool over. :P

EDIT: Here are those pics!

it's used and the original price for a brand new GW artbook is only around $11.

I need this book! Thanks for the pictures and the link.

Yeah I've got the Daizenshuu, that's a great book as well. Especially the interview with Akira Toriyama. I much prefer the art in this book though. :D

Yeah, but when I find a new one, it's at least 30 USD not including P+P... And that's on ebay. :?
