Currently I just have one and to be honest, I like it more in its original box than out of it.
If I plan to resell a figure I'll usually buy two (one for me, and one to resell), and if I'm not going to sell the figure then I display it for a few months and put it back in it's box

I'm guessing you don't want anyone to snag it eh? Sure, it is done.

thank's um... is it still just as good even if It doesnt include the dvd box it originaly came with.
There is also a complete all 3 of them set for 269.99 but I'm getting a good deal on this one. Then I'm getting one of those creatures line figures (is there any news if a new creature is coming out soon)

Well obviously the DVD box would increase the value, but it should be fine
Yeah you are getting a good deal, 20$ is a steal
I'm pretty sure the creatures line is dead, Banpresto likes to do that. Start a new line, release like 2-4 figures and then end it, lol. If my memory still serves me right, nothing has been announced for creatures since 2010 and DB merchandise is going to be pretty quiet this year barring the SCultures 2 releases and some Figuarts.

I might not get it.

How is the 2008 piccolo different from the 2010 repaint (what's wrong with it)?

SDCC Figuarts Gohan is retailing for $30, and Trunks is shipping, so retailers should have him soon:

Why is he so short? He's as short as Vegeta, but I thought he was supposed to be just below or around Goku's height... :?

He's actually shorter than Vegeta. >.> I just posed them so the height difference wasn't as noticeable. He's supposed to be a lilttle taller than Vegeta when 17 and much closer to Goku when 21. They based him off his 17 year old self, so he should be short...but not that short.

I'm rather new in this thread but what are good sites to buy those DragonBall figures from?
Jord doesn't have a avatar because the combination of Jord and a equally cool avatar would cause the universe to implode.

Didn't know where to place this, but since this has basically become the general Japanese figure discussion thread, I'll post it here.

Toy Arena today has gotten a new stock of the Piccolo Figuarts. They are charging $49 for them on their site, with $7 USPS Priority shipping. They accept Paypal as well.

Also, they're definitely reliable. They're also pretty well known in the action figure community, and I'd definitely recommend them.

I had some trouble with using Paypal on their site at first, because I was using my "technical" address (my address can be written as two different "cities"), that was giving Paypal some trouble for unknown reasons, so I simply altered my address and it worked. I had to contact the Toy Arena staff to remove the first order, as it was stuck in pending and I didn't want that to mess up my orders. Just a tip in case anyone else gets that error.

That's not too much, that's dirt cheap. lol All of the Figuarts jump pretty high in price after the stock runs out. Piccolo, Gohan, and both SS Gokus seem to be ranging $100-$200 right now, and most of the time that is before shipping.

I know that's a good price I just don't want to pay that much.

Is Gohan getting a reprint?
(thats the only one I really want)

Are S.H.figuarts to scale with the MG figurise?

Are the MG figurise cancelled?
(I thought Trunks and Vegeta should have been out by now)

???

You ask a lot of questions...

Yes Gohan is getting a repaint, as a SDCC exclusive similar to Goku last year.

As for the MG Figurerise for Trunks and Vegeta, they're likely cancelled...
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.
