... payed 50 USD for all of them, but shipping from Japan now is 30USD ...
I dont know about pricing this old Bandai figures and stuff, but i love the packaging alone, vintage stuff for me.

It's finally here! Got here two days after I sent payment!

Box is not in perfect condition, but judging how old this is, I don't mind. The booklet/mini posters/inserts and CD's are all in mint condition!
Now, onto the 13-CD Boxset!

Graahh! It taunts me! It's the only of the main SBC I'm missing. That and the damn 3-pack, but... fuck the 3-pack.

My latest purchase would be Dragon Box 6! Weee! ...kinda!

What worries me is all the people saying they get disc errors. I haven't had the enthusiasm to watch any of these things since the first one. I open it, look at them, make sure nothing's broke, then... set it on the shelf until I can marathon all 7 someday. I will be furious if I get some error in the middle of that marathon. I will punch children.

Haha, what disc errors are you referring to? For me anyway I haven't had any disc errors yet (fingers crossed). I would just try all of the discs first before actually watching them... you could just put each disc in a laptop or computer and play a random episode for a few seconds to see if it works. It might be a bit of an effort, but then again, it's a little of your mind knowing the discs or alright. :D

I got DBox vol. 5. I still did not unwrap it. Vol. 6 is for the next month, and hopefully I'll get a part-time job in college that'll give me a better income.

Just purchased this Irwin Chichi figure from ebay. Photo is not mine but the sellers.

I'm starting to actually like these little Irwin toys. Sure they're not the most exciting DB figures out there but they have a certain charm to them.

The Irwin figures, with the blue back, didn't come with weapons. The old Greenish Orangish ones did, those were from the early to mid 90's, somewhere in there

Oh I see, Its been forever since I bought them. It seemed very odd that they'd include weapons that they couldn't even hold?

Mailman just handed me my Dbox 6, it is beautiful.

I SOOO wish FUnimation would have done something like the JP singles where if you sent in the P.O.P. or whatever it was you could get the dioramas; they could have used those yellow pages stuck to the back of the boxes. I now have 6 of them just laying around in the boxes.

I lost most of my yellow pages over time and only have three now. One of them is stuck to the back of one of my Orange Bricks :lol:.

As for my most recent purchase I received Dragon Box 6 early last week.

I always put mine back in the box they came in because I have the boxes and the cases/books displayed seperately so the spine art isn't broken up.

Haven't picked up many DBZ items lately, all these XBox 360 games coming out are draining my wallet. I did happen to get this bad boy along with Dragon Ball Kai 1-6
