I'm sure they are. I'm just too poor at the moment to collect anything lol. I got the Selypa out of impulse after saving up a little change here and there. And because these things are supposed to be like, limited... right? :|

I should probably try and finish my Super Battle Collection before anything. I have like, maybe 80% of everything for that line. Bah... I hate money.
Yeah uber limited. I hear you on that though. I have just enough money to complete this series fully, after that I'm broke until July. But I'm glad since all the toy releases I'm watching are pretty much on break until August anyway save for a few releases.

It's strange, when these LOS figures were first released, I really liked them. But now the more I see them the more I'm just ... "meh". I mean, they're still decent figures, but I just ... I dunno. Perhaps if I see them in the flesh, I’d change my mind. Anyway, it’s cool you’ve nearly completed that collection.

I'm still probably going to get a few, like the Bardock crew set, Bio-Broly, Paragus and the phantom Saiyans. (Finally, a Paragus figure. My wish came true ~)

Do you have a photo of all your figure collection, Raithos? I’d love to see it, it must be huge.

Yes almost there! :cry: Definitely, you see it in stock and you want it- you get it. If you have the means, just get it trust me. I look forward to seeing you complete LoS also! :P Your pictures will always be better than mine though with your epic shading and what not :P.

You know what's funny? I'm meh about it too! I actually like the Digital Grade line better than this. But I committed to buying every single piece of LoS merchandise so here we are. I am extremely grateful for the release of rare goodies like the Prince Vegeta child ver., Future Kid Trunks, Bardocks' crew, and King Vegeta DX. But on the whole a lot of the figures are meh. They're not spectacular but it's nice to see some figures of characters never before seen in figure form or characters that have very little merchandise based on them (Like the Prince Vegeta child ver.). I just want to be able to look at my collection and say "well yeah at least that entire branch is complete". I say this, becuase I won't complete HSCF for a long time, along with HQDX, Ichiban Kuji and the like. I collect only my favourites at this current time, making sure to be a stickler for high quality and detail mainly in Japanese releases. Believe it or not my collection is quite small, I only started last June? So I haven't even been collecting for a year yet. I have the knowledge now... just not the money to get everything I could. That's why I commend people like Kayo83 and Legendary117 that have huge collections (especially 117). The praise belongs to those guys :P. In the next few months I hope to invest some more into collecting and then I'll take a full pic of what I've got. :D

If you don't mind me asking, where'd you find series 2 and 3? If you need a SSJ Broly it's £5 on play-asia at the moment and about £3 shipping, they only have 2 more in stock, so I'd hurry.
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 :)

@ oXdanXo I'm checking on amazon from this seller:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss? ... an&x=0&y=0
They have decent prices on the Series 4 for a US seller but they sell individually. I asked if they had any other series in their store no response yet. Hope that helps.
No go on SSJ Broly :( sold out

Alriiight, more Selypa. :mrgreen: Up top! (waits for e-highfive)

Hey, are those scouters removable? I kinda want that Vegeta, and though I doubt I'd find one when I have the money, I might not be so interested if his scouter stays on. They kinda off-set the rest of the awesome detail of these.

Today I just received Baby Goku in Spaceship by Ichiban Kuji. It really is massive. It’s a gorgeous set, so detailed. I’ll take photos later/tomorrow.
Now I just need to figure out where I’m going to put the damn thing …

I just need to find Volume 6 at a good price, and buy the last 2 DX figures when they come out. I ordered the Trunks and Vegeta from Angolz at the beginning of the month... Still waiting for that. :(
