But I'm pretty sure they pop up on eBay, from time to time. Just search "Dragonball capsule".
I couldn't find the capsule pens but I did find a little capsule clock. I'll keep checking ebay from time to time, I'm sure one day they'll pop up.

Just placed an order for the "Kame type" Dragon ball headphones. The material is probably crap, the sound quality is probably crap, but you know what? They look so cool! When it arrives I'm going to take some pictures of it and test it out and see how it is.

Awesome! I am really tempted to buy some, but I'd probably break them, by throwing them at the ground pretending they were real. :lol:

This particular line of merchandise is quite cool.
Not only is there pens, there’s clocks, MP3 players, cutlery (chopsticks, forks and such).
All shaped like these little capsules.
They’re pretty hard to find on eBay though, sadly.

Those are some of the most awesome pens I've ever seen.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

They’re not really impractical.
I suppose they look quite cumbersome, but they’re easy to use, like any other pen.

Yeah, it is.
It was a gift from a friend, the content is not really to my taste however. (GokuxGohan)
It's still an okay doujin, though.

If you don't mind me asking, what shop in London did you get them from?
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 :)

Eh ... it's actually fairly tame, compared to other doujin I own. I'm just not a fan of that pairing or shota, for that matter.

I ddin't buy them, my friend bought them for me.
She got them from a stall in Camden Market. (Inverness Street, I think.)

Shonen Jump 100 with "Cross Epoch!" I'm so excited to actually own a legal copy of this story.
(I've had the figures for a while, they just seemed like such a natural fit that I had to include them in the picture.)

Ehh... Luffy doesn't look really good in Goku's dougi. He needs more muscle.

Agreed. I love those figures (they're the ones that started it all lol) but I definitely think the Goku looks way better than the Luffy.
