Are you getting the Legend of Saiyan DX part III Trunks coming out in a couple weeks? I know I'm getting 2 of him. He looks so good it's criminal! I need a MIB and a display version. lol.

Why. Why do you tempt me to buy things. :cry: Like I don't have enough things gathering dust.
My resolve to buy less figures is weak.

Never thought the day would come that I would actually whole heartily agree with this.

He looks so awesome, Goku & Vegeta just melt in his presence. And the main characters of the Big 3 now want a character remodel. :lol:

How tall do you reckon that Trunks will be? Would it be on par with some of the HSCF ones?
I collect this line and I can tell you right now these are double the size of HSCF, coming in at about 18-19 cm or about 7.5 inches +/-.

Lol I wish to share my love of figures to the world! That is why I do this :P. Just buy it. It's going to be a quality release.

Lmao I know right, they'll come back and attack the characters again to make them up to the standard of this beautiful Trunks figure. If this didn't inspire faith in the line, I think people will start looking now or at least get this one.

I already love collecting figures, that's the problem!
Ahhh .... I totally would, but I have 11 figures pre-ordered already, which are gonna burn a hole in my purse.
Might buy it later.
... why did I have to get into this expensive hobby. :?

Sometimes I look at my figures and I calculate the cost and I'm like. "I've spent so much but have so little" in the grand scheme of collecting. Lol.

I'm honestly a little afraid to calculate how much I've spent, LOL.
At least (most) DB figures are fairly cheap ... at least when compared to other figure lines like Busou Shinki, Alter and the like.

No DX figures for me. I like to stay in one scale, and I think my wallet's going to explode as it is lol.

Honestly if you pick up AT LEAST ONE DX FIGURE, make it this one. Seriously it's too nice to pass up, and if you call yourself a Trunks fan you should look into it lol.

I'm a Trunks fan, yes, but I'm also a "I have enough money to survive on!" Fan.

That once tends to be kinda short when you don't eat.

So you can't afford 17$?
Because that's what it would cost off HLJ right now if you preorder. Add maybe 10 or so for shipping with SAL.

Didn't realise it was that cheap...but nevertheless, it drives me insane to have one figure that's out of scale from my others. I don't think Broly or the Oozarus will want to share my desk with a regular super saiyan that's nearly twice their size.

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
