Curse of the blood rubies came in the mail yesterday, so I'm looking forward to finally watching it subbed (I own the Dragonbox single and have only seen it raw) and also hearing Colleen Clinkenbeard's take on Son Goku.

I resisted the urge to just get the 4 pack as I own all the other movies and am holding out for a Dragonbox release. If not I'll nab them at a later date.

I forgot that I also just got in FUNimation's DB Movie 1 re-release, too. I'll be putting up a review of that hopefully this week (maybe Wednesday if that snow storm hits!). I was thinking that nothing else was coming in until the end of the month with Bakuman vol. 1 and two Legend of Saiyan figures, but I snagged these at Book-Off in New York over the weekend:

The daizenshuu is for a contest at some point in the future, and the CD (Bukkun, which I actually didn't already own!) is for me :P. The only other CDs they had were a bunch of the Hit Song Collections, all of which I already individually owned, or owned as a part of a larger collection. They also didn't have any kanzenban, which made me a sad Mike :(.

And yes, I paid only $15 for that daizenshuu. I think I've managed to find a daizenshuu there every time I've ever gone. I'm on a streak!

I was referring to the hard-to-find, expensive Daizenshuu that aren't released here.

Hmm, ok looks like my post was deleted for some reason? Anyway let's try this again... Christmas orders are starting to arrive and today I got a double whammy of Legend of Saiyan DX Part II, and also my Digital Grade Special "Saiyan Legend" sets. I'm overjoyed becuase the DG was something I was really anticipating, the LoS is also a dream too.

Now this set surprised me a bit. I already liked Trunks in his Ascended SSJ form, but when I had him in person it became my personal favourite, surpassing even the SSJ3 Vegeta which was the reason why I bought the set! lol. I really like the Trunks figure, the sculpt, detail and paint are great.
Otaku at heart.

The sizes range like this:
Smallest- 5-7cm (Freeza and SSJ2 Gohan)
Average size- 9cm (majority of the figures)
Tallest- 11-13 cm (only the SSJ Goku, and SSJ Vegeta reach this height)

What seller did you buy these from? I have had some bad purchases, in the past, from sellers selling fake versions of these. :cry:

Ebay:
Kakalolo 12, Hobbyheart, Isabellaibebe. They're all legitimate pieces as far as I can tell as the quilaity matches and/or surpasses the ones I already have. Who did you buy from that had fake pieces?

The Legend of Saiyan DX Part II I got from Angolz.com. They take a while to ship but the quality and price are top notch.

As far as I can tell, the Digital Grade stuff has not been bootlegged yet. Another great seller for these is k-toys.

Got a double whammy today with my Legend of Saiyan volume 1, and Figuarts ZERO Luffy too :D
The legend of Saiyan figures are highly detailed for the small size and I like the colours used. I deem the Trunks the best from Volume 1.

Angolz really needs to step up their game and not ship my boxes in such a damaged state :/. Other than that great buys all around.
