I've got 7 different sets, the more common ones, I'm trying to get my hands on the more rare ones but they are going for $250+ a set which is pricey. Ill decide sooner or later

No one is jumping all over you. We just didn't really agree with what you said and thus we gave our opinion on the matter.

I'm jealous now, I want those LOS figures :mrgreen:
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone sees
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 :)

Your LOS collection is coming along nicely.
I'm still on the fence about getting that Trunks. I'll wait until your write up.

Alright so I recently got The Legend of Saiyan III DX featuring SSJ Vegeta and SSJ Trunks. (FYI don't order Fed Ex shipping with Hobby Link Japan, you'll be paying 15.75 on taxes or whatever). They came incredibly fast but I ended up paying far too much for them. Anyway, on to the review. These are WONDERFUL! I love them! The hair is a bit too orange most noticeably on the Vegeta, but other than that these are wonderful pieces. Very stern highly coloured. I love the Trunks, they spared no expense with his design, flawless figure. If you're on the fence, just go and get these, they are simply fantastic. I'm looking forward to completing my Legend of Saiyan branch collection soon.

As you can see I'm halfway there! Just two more Legend of Saiyan gashapon sets and for now 1 more DX release until the line is complete (so far), hopefully they release a few more on the DX scale. Would I buy this set again? Yes, but only if Angolz carries it.

One thing though, if you're a stickler for scale then prepare to have a heart attack becuase these are not to scale at all. Furthermore the SSJ Goku's head looks 2x too small for his body, that and his hair isn't big enough. Other than that, excellent line.

I preordered the Vegeta. He's somewhere between Japan and New Orleans lol. I didn't feel like using money i could use to buy more figures on shipping, so I went with SAL. I know it will take a while, but patience is a virtue!

I think there is also a little eraser shaped like Prince Vegeta. I'm sad there isn't any more figures of young Vegeta.

I read your post and thought I show you mine, I bought it last year at my Anime Central Convnetion where I live and it did come with the keychain! : )
