I came across these by chance whilst browsing a charity store. There were some other DB figures, but they were pretty beat up/broken.

Image
Tiny Gohan! Does anyone know where this is from? It looks like it maybe comes from a board game or something.

Image
The Raditz has some slight pen marks on one of his arms, but it’s very minimal. The Bardock has been played with a lot, lots of paint wear, but it should be easy to fix that right up. He’s missing a tail too. (Isn't that Bardock pretty rare/expensive now?)

Image
And the best find – the worm from inside Buu! It’s been drawn on a lot, but I’ll repaint and airbrush it at some point. The worm comes with a Buu playset, I've always wanted it, but I didn't want to buy a whole playset for just one little figure.

Really happy with these. I love second hand stores.

I saw that and literally the first thing that went through my head was, "WTF!?! A Saiyan sperm figure!" :lol:

Nice finds on the rare Jakks figures. The Bardock is worth A TON... however in that condition I'm sure the value diminishes. It'd make a nice display piece though.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

How much would a good/mint condition Bardock be? I'd like to get another one and maybe use this guy for a custom.
I think someone was getting rid of their DB collection, because the guy in the store said they had a lot more DB merch that they'd just sold recently.

They really don't appear that often. The last one i've seen.

$250
Holy moly. :shock:

I thought I was lucky with that Raditz figure, as I've seen that one at ridiculous prices (anywhere from $60-$100)
But whoa.

DBZ Kai Part 4 Blu-ray. Making my way through it. Greg Ayres is really making me fall in love with Freeza all over again! Great work! Schemmel's doing very well in my opinion. Brownie points for the use of Son Goku!

I bought today Dragon Box Vol. 1 and Dragon Box Vol. 2 over amazon.com YEAH!!!

Estimated time when I get the 2 boxsets should be the 21 April ... 5 days before the release of Dragon Box Vol. 5 !!!

I do not know if I should buy the rest parts of Dragon Ball Z Kai, because of the incomplete ending of the series!!!
The word "KAI" means in the old North Germanic language Frisian "Kämpfer engl. Fighter" respectively "Krieger engl. Warrior"!

I'm speechless.

Image

Sorry about the terrible quality, it looks 100x better in person :lol:. It arrived about 20 minutes ago, I couldn't believe the size of the parcel, it was huge! Also, it weighs a ton.

I'm really excited to have it, it's absolutely stunning, the box, the discs and the book are amazing. I'm still in shock :lol:. It didn't come with the diorama, but I wasn't too fussed about that.

How much did that cost you? :shock:
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 :)

Don't tell me you got it dirt cheap, I absolutely love the original Dragon Ball Dragon Box, it seems so much better than the rest, even though I prefer the story of Z :mrgreen:

I paid, for the Dragon Ball Dragon Box...£52!

I couldn't believe how lucky I was when I saw it listed on eBay. The guy who was selling it was selling the GT Box for the same price, but I completely forgot about it :(.

Same reaction from me, were they buy it now's? How? Why? What?
You should have snapped up the GT one as well at that price :P
That's the bargain of the century, how'd you stumble on that?

Either you are a lucky man, or the seller was stupid to sell it at this price and didn't know it's worth! £52?! That's about $84!! :shock:

Too bad you didn't get everything, but you got the episodes.

Well I was browsing eBay out of boredom, I was scrolling through (I think the 4th) page and there it was... I couldn't believe it, a Japanese Dragon Box on eBay.co.uk. What shocked me more was the starting price, £40. So, the auction had 4 days left, so I was thinking "someone is bound to see this and there's going to be a bidding war". So I left it a few days, being patient, still couldn’t believe no one had bid on both of the boxes. So, there's one day left on the auction, and someone bids, again I was being patient and kept an eye on the auction for the last hour (by this time the GT Box had sold, I'm guessing the person who bid on the DB Box had won the GT Box). So I was a little disappointed, but the DB one was still going. There was about 8 seconds left on the auction when I bid £42, and, I won! I was so happy :). Plus shipping the total was £52.

I'm going with "very lucky man" :lol:.

Well, in the description he said he paid a lot of money for it, so I'm guessing he just wanted to get rid of it.
