All I need is the Broly Triple Feature and I'll have completed my collection of the Z movies! Still need to get DBZ Kai parts 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 and possible Season 1 and 2.
Just wondering, where the double features on BD or DVD? If it was DVD, how much was Bojack?
DVD.

In NZD - $16.99, so in USD that's $13.13. It's the same price as all the other Double Features they sell.

Huh, that's surprisingly good. The Bojack one and the Coola one especially are expensive.

Might be because they're Madman's releases region 4 releases. They're not gonna be discontinued any time soon. By the way Gonstead, did you purchase the double features at the Warehouse? :P

Grrr, still waiting for my VIZBig's, I wanted them for Christmas, but from the looks of things I wont' be...
:cry:
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.

Along with the 2 parts of Kai, yes.

It's too bad they don't carry the DBZ Blu-Rays or any other parts of Kai at my one here in Auckland. All they have left now of DB related DVD's are some of the Orange Bricks and 2 seasons of GT.

Yeah I did get 3, had to! I've been in love with this since it's conception almost a year and a half ago XD

I will be getting the Cell once I sort my money out, just had to make sure I got SSJ3 ASAP
Still need to get the Vegeta too, the Android 20 us available everywhere so I'm not worried about him (no one likes Gero) lol!

Nice Raithos! I promised myself I wouldn't buy anymore figures unless I really liked it. So the only one I bought was the Casual Style Goku figure. But you gotta show me what this figure looks like standing next to the Wild Style Goku. That is, if you have the Wild Style Goku figure. Those two always looked very similar to me in form of style.

OMFG lol funny that you mention that becuase that's exactly what I thought of when I saw him. Of course I have the Wild Style I actually had to dig him up, but yeah definitely:
I can honestly say WOW to the SSJ3, like seriously WOW. I've been anticipating this figure since it's conception almost a year and a half ago and today I am not dissapointed. The detail is disgustingly wonderful, from the veins running in his biceps to the top of his hands, The battle damaged look fits him great too. I love the arrogant smirk, it adds an element of darkness to him and it's great. Crazy paint job and really nice size. Not too big but not too small. I think he's just the right size! My only complaints are that I wish the hair was a more vibrant golden deep yellow, and his overall colour pallet was a little brighter... like how it is on the box, and that the stick to support his hair would have a hole to stick the hair into to lock it in place instead of just a curved surface. Other than that I rate this like a 9/10. Wonderful figure, super cheap and well worth it XD.

He was one of my most anticipated figures almost since I started collecting. Had to get 3 of course.

Love this figure, simply amazing to have in my collection. Details are top notch, Banpresto has really outdone themselves on this one!

Image

Image

Image

Love how huge and well sculpted the hair is!

SCultures that I have so far, I was super focused on getting the SSJ3 so I completely bypassed volume 2 (Vegeta & Android 20 [Gero]) and Cell as well. I plan to get the Cell however as he looks downright awesome, and the Vegeta also. I will take my time with the Gero as he seems to not be doing too well in shops as he is available everywhere.

SCultures SSJ3 Goku and Wild Style Goku have a striking similarity in terms of looks and sculpt/design. Similarities in the torn clothing and battle damage effects. The SCultures SSJ3 Goku harnesses a darker colour pallet, while the Wild Style Goku uses a brighter more vibrant colour pallet. I would prefer the bright vibrant colours that are present on the Wild Style to have been continued on the SCultures, especially in the hair. I think a more vibrant golden yellow would have fit it perfectly (like the box art). It's still an amazing figure though. I feel the darker colour pallet gives the SSJ3 a more worn, rugged and beat look which can add to realism. The Wild Style SSJ battle damage looks good, but also looks a little too plastic like gum or paper mache. With these photos you can see the blatant colour difference between the Wild Style and SCultures.

Thanks for all the detailed pictures Raithos. That SSJ3 Goku has amazing detail and I actually like the darker color to it since it does make Goku look more rugged.

However, I stuck to Casual Goku since that is the only figure I really wanted out of the bunch.

xD, casual Goku is great too! I only went overboard becuase the SSJ3 is the one I wanted the most.

I love the figure of Goku in flip flops :D Where can i pick up one of those? Is there any Pikkon figures?
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Where'd you buy SSJ 3 from? Was it Angolz? As I'm trying to get a 2nd now since I've seen those pics, my first is yet to come :(
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)
