Well, that's harsh.

Oh right, should have quoted DragonBoxZTheMovies' post about this. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Movies-TV/nz/a ... 824/k-.htm

Those headphones are pretty boss. If they didn't suck so much I'd totally get those.

Not really a purchase but most of my VHS recordings being shipped from Japan, it includes the final freeza battle-rest of DBZ and includes all of the original GT tv airings and yes the commercials are on there. I was never able to find anything earlier, probably destroyed in the recent events(which sucks.. as my dad had ALL of dragon ball recorded><)

I also had the movie airings from their original air dates on tv well sorta..

$50 to ship 60 vhs tapes, this is gonna be a fun summer transfering these to dvd..

Once I get these I'm going to have a lot of fun syncing the audio to the dragonbox masters^^

That happened. It was a rather large purchase that officially began my Dragon Ball fandom.
Tally ho...?

If you don't have these figures, get them now. You may never see them for this cheap again.

Steals? If you look hard enough you can find them for $25-$35.

While I don't think $62 is a particularly attractive price for those HSCF SS3s (I wouldn't pay it), you're simply not going to find those figures for around $25 dollars easily, if at all. The SS3 SP Series of the HSCF is clearly the most popular and most sought after in what already is a highly collectible line whose prices soar after initial release.

My Last Dragonball purchase must have been Dragon Box 5 and 6, of which Dragon Box 5 is beeing shipped at the moment.

And there is another thing that I want to buy, but I would like a little bit of advise from you guys before I do.
I might go a bit offtopic with this one, but there have to be a few One Piece fans around here and most of you guys are experts in seperating the bootlegs from the legit figures. :P

I recently became a huge fan of One Piece, and so I started collecting fome figures from the Portrait.of.Pirates line from Megahouse
At the moment I am looking for a figure from Tony Tony chopper. These figures have long been sold out, but there are a few on Ebay which are reasonly priced.
But as most of you probably know there are a lot of bootlegs floating around, especially when ordering from the Hong Kong region. I have ordered some legit items from Hong Kong before, so I know its not all bad but I would like some advise for the following items from you guys.

The first two definitely seem legitimate to me. The key on those two is that they show the box and on the box you can see the gold Toei seal of approval sticker. The third one also looks alright, but without a box you can't be sure.

They all seem legit to me, first two becuase of the box images as CODii stated and the last simply becuase the price falls in line with the price that's pretty much a standard for this figure from various sources I've seen. It's funny becuase I recently just got hooked on the One Piece craze too (since db releases are pretty much all accounted for) and after just ordering my Ichiban Kuji Naightmare Luffy, I wanted that exact same chopper! Lol I'm ordering him as we speak. Lol
No money? Yep.
Otaku at heart.

Today's arrivals.

Dragon Box 5

Two more left.

Image
Freeza's Force Spaceship

For now I'm just filling the space on this shelf with some figures I already have. I'm waiting for a bunch of figures that would go very nicely with this ship.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

Where'd you get the ship from man?
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 :)
