It's actually pretty commonly known, I did a face palm when I found them there, anyway it's in PM.

Where, are they better than Angolz? Is it PlayAsia?


I also figured we should all try to make a list of the shops that are good for DBZ figures, so I thought I'd give it a go, I haven't added in most USA sites yet as I don't normally look there since the postage is off the scales.
http://www.angolz.com (Usually the cheapest, but never have items in stock on day of release)
http://www.HLJ.com (great place, but more expensive than Angolz)
http://www.1999.co.jp
www.Inxspro.com (Good place, but their stock levels change rapidly)
http://www.archonia.com (not the cheapest, but a good solid service)
http://www.up1.co.uk (Good for manga and anime)
http://www.lacitedesnuages.be (expensive)
http://www.ibuyxyz.com
http://www.eyeonasia.co.uk
http://www.aikoudo.com (great place for ordering figures that Angolz don't have any left in stock at a similar price)
http://www.play-asia.com (more expensive than Angolz, but quicker)
http://www.greattoysonline.com (Shipping can be a killer)
http://www.biginjap.com
http://www.mangaparis.com (good for WCF, HSCF and some other stuff)
http://www.alixonline.fr (some of the prices will amaze you)
http://www.ibuyxyz.com
http://www.yesasia.com (Free shipping)
http://www.mandarake.co.jp
http://www.amiami.jp
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 :)

The more he shares the link, the harder it will be for him to get the toys he wants, I guess. :P Understandable.

If it is, then I might know since I asked Rathios to keep a few secrets, just untill I can afford to get a bardock figure from a certain site, shame, I'll have all the LOS apart Gohan and 2 volumes of the minis, which I'm working on, since Rathios managed to find a Gohan for $30/£20 which is reasonable, so I'll be getting that this weekend if no one beats me to it. :)
Still I don't envy Rathios too much, because going into collecting One Piece figures is the same as just burning cash :)

Everyone is correct! Lol, but I guess it's fine. Dan guessed it right with PlayAsia. It's basically the same low price as Angolz give or take a few dollars.

(Price: US$ 17.90 (~17.33 CAD)
The Vegeta is out of stock (sold out in one night, lol.)

http://www.play-asia.com/Dragon_Ball_Ka ... -47j0.html

And curb your tongue Dan, I'm not jumping into One Piece full force. I don't have anywhere near enough money for that. I'm just sticking to my favourites for now.

I made the mistake of trying to jump in :) £50/$75 for a zoro figure, worst thing is it's the first figure I want to double up on, so as soon as I see another at a cheaper price i'm in there :)
I'm verging on too addicted now, since I started on only the Mini LOS line, which grew to the DX line, now I want all of these DWC ones and all the one piece DWC and POP and DX lines, so, ummm, student loan it is then ;0

Hmmm... I'm not sure if I have the space for those Wild Style figures. At the moment I'm looking for a few Megahouse figures... but those are very expensive.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

You sound like me – I’ll just buy some little gashapon! Oh, these Nendoroids look cute! Oh, wow, Alter makes some nice statues! Then I started collecting Busou Shinki figures and it really went downhill.
A full purse? What does that feel like? :roll:

I’ll probably pass on these Wild Style figures for the moment. Spent way too much after buying Alter’s Dizzy statue and a bunch of Madoka Magica crap.

My boyfriend heard me bitching about the Wild Style figures and brought for me from Aikoudo. He's such a sweet heart.

Damn I want a girlfriend who will buy me figures when I bitch :/. I'm really taking a fondness to the world collectible figures but the prices are a joke. Plus I just dropped two bills for an Ichiban Kuji Nightmare Luffy, so I can't really go overboard on the spending right now at least for a couple months. Oh, Angolz is a man's romance! I just want my Panty and Stocking Nendoroids, lolol. Thankfully a lot of my personal big releases aren't coming until around the end of summer, and by then I'll be relatively wealthy :P.

Around $45 in total. I know, it was kind of expensive. I told him that they might have it at Angolz one day for a little less but he didn't want to risk it being sold out before he had a chance to buy it.

Haha it hurts at first when you order something and then see your money go bye-bye. But then by the time your order gets to you, you've already forgotten how much you've spent and it feels like you're getting gifts in the mail!
