@ Drabaz so yours is like that too huh , I got the Zarbon on Amazon from a seller named "AnimeNGames" he was about 45 dollars though :? I looking for a decent price and it wasn't as bad as Ebay outrageous prices

@ Bura & Raithos I didn't realize Android 18 did the same thing

So this is the real Ginyu he's got a little Master Roshi characteristic going on

Oh no Kayo. You got Zarbon AND Freeza? AND you paid $45 for JUST Zarbon. I've never ordered from Aikoudo, but doesn't this seem like a better deal:

Aikoudo - Freeza & Zarbon

My SSJ4 Gogeta leans forward a lot too :lol: . I really want to get a Michael Jackson figure and post a picture of all of them doing the forward lean!

I actually just noticed that there was only 1 left in stock of Zarbon and Freeza, and I didn't order a set for myself yet. I was like, "Crap, what did I just do!? I need to order it now before someone else on the forum does!" So yep....I got it. Sold out! Sorry.

I never noticed that #18 leaned forward, so I wonder what other figures I have lean forward too lol.

Yea I was like its sold out now so i'm ok with my purchases now but "DAMN those good prices" What did the total come out to be? It seemed like a process just to make an order and to determine the final cost.

Nah it shouldn't be too complicated. It came out to be around $46. At the top right of the web page, theres a drop down list to convert the currency to USD. And for shipping prices, there's a shipping price chart under Shipping Fees. Just take what the description says the weight of the item is and match it up with whatever shipping method you want to use. I used the cheapest one. SAL Small packing.

I hate their Engrish though. It makes things confusing. I scratch my head every time I read this:

"We can not ship a different order number, however, if there are in same order number, we can ship together."

Yes! I love that Trunks too. Incredibly tall, great size, sculpt and paint. Definitely one of my most favourite Trunks figures to date.

I don't think it's for sale yet.

Just pre-ordered that on Thursday at JB-HI-FI and am getting the second collection for my birthday from my sister. Done with Dragonball after this but I may in the distant future buy whatever boxsets contain the Cell and Boo arcs.
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.

Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

It looks like some sort of party favor thing or something that goes in a gift bag for parties...

It looks like a disc shooter to me, but I'm not entirely sure. I've seen toys before that come with discs, you load them up, and a button/trigger/magical device of mystical awesomeness sends them flying across the room. I'll google it when I get a chance and try to find out if this thing is a disc shooter or something else.

EDIT: Well that didn't take long. I was right. http://www.tammystoptoys.com/DRG-165795 ... eship.html

Someone thought my Frieza Space Ship was a Party Favor, lol.

But yes, Eddie found the Stock Photo of My Frieza Ship.

Here's a different angle:
