I think she might be talking about this figure.

VxG<3er, I'm interested in buying both the kissing and wedding figures also, if that's okay? If not, I totally understand.

You know the scene in the Cell saga when he wakes up at Roshi's after being sick and Chi-Chi runs over and he gives her a kiss before he flies off? Well, there is a small figure of that which I thought was really sweet.
Ooooh! What store did you find this figure in and how much was it in yen or usd? I'm going to Japan this March and am hoping it will still be there! ^_^

Did you have any luck yet finding a big Vegeta pillow? :wink:

You're so lucky, only thing I don't envy is the jet lag that you'll get on the way back :)
Will maybe check it out today if the rain stops :|
Will also try to google an image of it or take a 'sneaky pic' in the store..... :lol:
I have been travelling for 4 months now so I'm SO ready to go home! I miss everyone way too much, then again I could stay here in Japan and explore all the merchandise for another year! Flying Jetstar too on the way back to Australia so, yeah, NOT looking forward to that ultra economy reality check.

Yes that Kakashi is the exact line in which I want the naruto figure, thank you for looking.
Hmm that Goku and Chi Chi driving the car on their wedding day sounds pretty nice, any info on that would be great.
Lol congrats on the Bulma piece!
Why thank you! I also managed to obtain a massive pillow with Dragon Ball symbols on it.
Here is 2 pics of the 'stuff' collected so far :) Still 2 weeks left!!! Will check out the GokuXChi-Chi piece again defs!

Haha no not yet on the Vegeta pillow... I WISH!@!!!
Here is a pic of the Bulma towel, I took it just then and trying to find somthing to hold it upfor the lighting was not easy so it doesn't look as good in the picture as it does in real life!

So sad though, I found all these things in the discount bin, which, while being a score for me is still sad to see a lot of Dragon Ball merchandise in the 'less wanted' pile :( Then again there are some really cool new models coming out because of DB Kai so it's not all bad. :)

Hooray for Japan!! I remember you saying you were coming over here. It is amazing, let me know if you want any details or for me to suss anything out for you while I'm here. :)

Hmmm....Yes this figure DOES look incredibley similar to the one I saw yesterday. When I head back there I will confirm if it is the same.... Guess Goku wasn't driving after all! Silly me!

Buying figures for people I don't know scares me a little, just in terms of getting the money etc. etc. I'm sure you understand. I will check out the price though and if it's not too expensive I'm sure we could work something out. I talk about the expense simply because I have a daily budget and I just bought this 'bag' (I use the term bag loosely because it's more like a soft toy) for a friend of mine back home who is really into Loli stuff and it cost me $85 AUD. The money she transferred still hasn't come through so now I have to hold off on buying things I want till it does.

PM me about your ideas and maybe we can work something out. :)

Of course, that’s very understandable. If it eases your mind any, REMOVED my eBay feedback page.

Welp, if the prices are decent, I’ll pay straight away.

Thanks for even considering doing this, that’s really awesome of you.

Thanks for that awsome offer! Do they have a lot HSCF Figures? More specifically of Freeza? Or are they rare? I'll post a picture of what those line of figures look like here down below:

Totaly just ripped this pic from Mikes recent purchases.

I have seen the Goku of this line. As for the others, not so much.
I have stumbled across a few here and there in the original boxes but that is usually in the sale bin due to the boxes being damaged.
Freeza is a popular figure though, there seems to be a lot of him around. I'll head back out today with these figure in mind (the SSJ Vegetto hmmm....NICE!!) Couldn't get out of the house yesterday because it was SNOWING!!! haha So beautiful! I have never been in the snow before :) You are going to LOVE it here!
