$187.89... :shock:

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.

Holy fuck.

Since when did they become sacred to you? Like a week ago? Because they obviously weren't sacred to you a couple months ago when they were still around for $30-$40.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! 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!"

Is it sad that I have (More or less) that same collection three times over? Working on a second set of Yu Yu Hakusho VHS too...

Just got SCultures in
Really like them though, about HQDX scaled, very nice quality. Of course Gohans face is a downer but it's not THAT bad, it's actually okay, just not super up close, lol. The Goku is amazing though. The boxes are nicely detailed, but a lot wider than say a Master Stars Piece box, but definitely the same height as an MSP box. In terms of actual height of the figure they range in the 20cm region, about a full 5 cm under Master Stars.

That Goku one is awesome! However, I wouldn't suggest putting him next to that Luffy one, it looks really awkward. 8)

Those photos where they are with different characters was for size comparisons on MFC, They are each displayed in their own slot on my shelves allocated to their own respective anime.
