Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)

No problem, guy! It's nice to have them in such nice quality for myself anyway. :)
I was only five minutes late anyway, my manager didn't really notice. :wink:

Gameboy Micro systems are pretty damn rare to find these days, but I'm sure you can find a cheap one easily on eBay.

EDIT: Oh hey, 50 posts! I'm no longer a newbie! :D

DBZ bootlegs have the movie 9 cover with the pioneer movie 2 description on the back and the disc actually has a Japanese soap opera in MEPG2. :roll:

Just got a Micro back myself, managed to grab a steal from a friend though for £20.
Trust me to purchase a games system after buying Dragon Ball games for it.

Finally received my Digital Grade SP figures. These are perhaps the very best DragonBall figures ever made at this scale. The level of detail, the paint aps and the extremely sharp sculpts are just amazing and unlike anything I've ever seen before. When the HG Gashapon were released I thought those figures were superbly detailed themselves but when placed side by side these new ones put the HG gashapon to shame.

My images don't do these figures justice at all, you really have to have them in hand to appreciate the quality.

Yes yes yes!!!!! I totally agree Mike! Excellent catch :D

Bandai had to do something special for the end of 2010 and go out with a bang. I feel they really did it with the Saiyan Legend Gashapon.

Nice one! How much did it set you back? How much would be a decent price to pay for this set on ebay?

About $29 w/ shipping. The Tullece is the most pricey.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

Yeah you're looking at $30. the set is $20 without the Tullece, with him its an extra $10 tacked onto the set, but honestly just spend the $30. The Tullece runs for $25-30 just on his own.

The link Chibi Gohan posted is the exact auction I bought from seller k-toys. The set is approximately $30 with shipping. I'd consider that more or less decent. So that's $6 a figure for 5 figures. The retail price in Japan for one figure is 300 yen or approximately $3.65. I don't think the markup is all the bad considering you're guaranteed a complete set this way and the figures are shipped half way around the world.

Legend of saiyan mini, 1 and 3. That's it because I try not to juggle too much at the same time until I've got a stable job with decent pay.

EDIT: How tall is HQDX? 7-11 cm?

I always have stuff waiting at the beginning of a school semester. I end up spending some of the money I saved from buying my school textbooks online...

HQDX can go as high as 8-9 inches so like 20cm, it's bigger than you think :P.
