Just bought Kai part 8 to complete the set and the GT complete collection for 29.99 at Half Price Books. Today was a good day. :D

I just got the pioneer release of dead zone :) But it turns out you get what you pay for with ebay, they've sent me a dodgy pirated copy. :(
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 :)

That's why you're supposed to avoid listings that use stock images. :wink:

My last purchase from sCultures: Dr Gero (A20) and Vegeta. They look simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
I love them because they look exactly like in the anime, no humanized facial features. Vegeta is on his typical pose. Being able to remove Dr Gero's hat is nice too. They are a MUST BUY.

I bought this used beauty at the [mainly] used game shop at the mall out of town: http://pics.mobygames.com/images/covers ... 805-00.jpg

Actually, they did have one copy of it long before, but I never thought I'd see it again. They just recently switched locations (still in the same mall though), and oddly enough, IIRC they had about 3 used copies of Idainaru Densetsu, and 2 copies of Ultimate Battle 22, all imports.

...Now if only I could actually play the game on my tv :(

To be quite honest my last purchase was probably Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi.

I was about to buy that Goku. He was fighting Vegeta on the display, I was so close to buying them both, but figured I really had no where to put them.

Haha that's funny because I saw them too and thought the exact same thing. I still have one of those pixel art thingies I bought from MsDBZBabe a while back just laying around. No space!

And yeah, the early copies of the Pioneer movies came in a jewel case, while the later ones came in regular DVD cases. Pretty neat.

I ordered the 4th Dragon Box volume from the Funimation Channel shop four days ago. It's still "awaiting fulfillment." :/

Dragon Ball Z Kai Part 4 on DVD and Dragon Ball Z Big volumes 4, 5 and 6.

I've always focused more on the anime but I feel like it's time I get the manga while it's cheap, and of course I'd like to see more of Kai! And once I'm done reading those 3 I'll probably get volumes 7, 8 and 9 together. I actually got the first 3 volumes together as well before now.

$20 for all that? Great deal.

Are those VHS with the original music (Kikuchi) or replacement (Canada/US)?

I think the designs of the logo's along with the GT titles speak for themselves, since I'm 99.9% pretty sure the dub never had Kikuchi on VHS.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes the Funimation Channel shop to ship things? I ordered my DBox 4 like 6 days ago and it's still marked as awaiting fulfillment, which means it hasn't even shipped yet.
