Hi, Daizex.
I`m going to Orlando, Florida in a week, and i have a question:
Is there anywhere i can by Dragon Ball stuff, or just general Manga / Anime stuff?
Thanks.

In Epcot they have a store in the Japan Pavilion called the Mitsukoshi department store, and they have loads of Anime/Manga stuff.

Do you know if they have DB stuff?

It's likely, I've never been there personally, but I did see Youtube videos of it, and I know I saw a DBZ shirt.

Nice.
I`ll be looking for it there.
I`m also going to Tampa and Jackyll Island.
Someone who can help with those locations?

I live in Tampa, and for a fact there is really no Dragon Ball anywhere, but if you want DVD's check stores like Target, Wal-Mart, etc. For Manga check book stores.

If you're just going to buy manga, might as well import Carlsen's Danish stuff than Viz's English stuff. Carlsen is far superior.

Nope, i have all the Norwegian Dragon Ball Books, so, in USA, I`m going to buy the VizBigs, The GT and Dragon Ball Box sets, and any other stuff i can find. I`m also going to buy the One Piece and Naruto Manga by Viz(Not the VizBigs) and some Pokèmon Manga.

If you're looking for stuff like that you can just go to the standard places. Wal-Mart or Best Buy should have the DVDs, and you can look for manga at places like Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Hastings.

I might be at Epcot tomorrow, I'll have to check that store.

I'm assuming OP is from not America? Cause best buy's and walmart's are the same everywhere for the most part, unless you're just visiting and that's the only way you can get them.

Ah. Then I would suggest trying Walmart first then anything else second. You could possibly order the Dragonball stuff you want online, then get it shipped to the store for free, all you would have to have is a credit card/paypal and a location where you would just go and pick it up.

Or Best Buy, but they overcharge on everything and they suck IMO.

As for manga, I'd go with borders/barnes & noble, both are pretty good.

I was in Epcot in May and they had some DB stuff. Mostly t-shirts and wall scrolls (and tons of Pokemon items). If you're an anime fan, check it out (it's probably obvious, but it's in the Japan area of the World Showcase).

I didn't notice any DB/Z items. Lots of Hello Kitty, Domo-kun, Pokemon, and Ghibli stuff. There were a few obscenely price gouged Gundam model kits, too, and some miscellanous wallscrolls (Haruhi? At Disney World?).

I bought a Spirited Away artbook and postcard and called it a day.
