I bought one of the official Kai iPhone cases, and boy am I disappointed.
I got the orange Goku one. It looks amazing on the phone, it feels great...but it's completely unusable. The hole around the back for the camera is too thick or something, because taking a photo with the flash on causes a weird orange glare around everything. I expected more for 55 bucks! I guess it's not that big of a deal, but I'm pretty bummed since I love officially licensed Dragon Ball products that are somewhat subtle.

Woah, those are sick! I personally like the Capsule Corp one. It's a bit disappointing these cases don't allow you to take proper photos.

Lol I wanted to buy one of those Red Ribbon ones but I couldn't find one for the Galaxy-S2, by the sounds of it though I shouldn't be too disappointed. But it does look awesome.

The more I think about it the more bummed I am about that case. 55 bucks for a case is pretty outrageous in the first place, so I guess I only have myself to blame. This is a stretch, but can any tech minded people think of anything I might be able to do to modify the case? The hole is pretty wide, so I don't know if cutting it wider would help reduce the orange tint...

Just ordered Dragon Box 2 from Amazon.com
$187.89...
I had to get it asap before they disappeared. Stupid card can only have 200 dollars max on it for the first month or w/e...So I'll have to wait a few more days to get the rest.

I think you overpaid.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

For sure, but I don't care. I just had to get it no matter what, and unlike some others, this is actually my favorite part of Z. Vegeta and Goku stompin' fools.
Sucks b/c they were going for $54 just two weeks ago...

Yeah I guess there not as easy to find anymore, but I personally would've tried to get one off eBay for cheaper.
Hmm... I should have invested in extra box 2s. I would've made a killing.

All they had was a used one starting at $209.
I must have new.

Yeh personally I think should have waited (like I'm doing) for someone from here in the EX community to check in the weekend (its only tomorrow XD)), because the members here are kind, and are are willing to buy it for us and than we can get it from them (for a non ridiculous price).
EDIT: I just checked on Amazon and someone is selling it at $130 (too much for me, but you may want to cancel your order and get this one instead) brand new:

Waaaaa How did I miss that!!!!!! I've been all over ebay for days (To be fair he didn't ship to the UK so I wouldn't have been able to get it
) If there are any more that pop up could someone PM me.

Just bought Dragon Boxes 3 and 5. Fives here and three's on the way. So I have 4/7 boxes now. I just need, two, six and seven. Sevens been going in and out of stock on Amazon but I'm not worried. Six has been at a steady $31.99 for quite some time now. Two, bah, I'll probably have to get it used or maybe I'll find it at a discount of retail price somewhere.

Wow, I got mine for 30$! I don't really consider these 160$ worthy to be honest, and definitely with 7 of these sets. Might as well go for the Japanese Dragon Box's.

That's what I think. But, to some this is worth every penny... until FUNimation re-releases them that is.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Yeah, except for the camera problems, I would totally get the Red Ribbon one.
