Probably gonna hit it up tomorrow for more.
Wait, are those the Jakks Pacific versions or some other ones?

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!"

I just got these in from Japan! It's mini posters for the new Dragonball Z movie. Sorry for the quality I'm over at my grandparents and this cam is horrible :P but regardless I'm happy that I got it.

They're flyers from Japan. I managed to pick a few up a while back ago. Pretty neat.

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Does anyone here know how much the Jump Special is going for these days? If so, could you please provide a link?

I picked up a few of the old Viz DB and DBZ comics today. The DB one is "13 Part Two," and it has chapters 48 and 49, so basically it's all Goku vs. Jackie Chun. The DBZ one is "9 part two," and that has chapters 35 and 36 (I'm guessing that's 230 and 231 overall?). While obviously not that important with the VizBigs and graphic novels available, they are neat to have. The letters in the back are often amusing, and, while I don't have it, I believe Mr. Popo is uncensored. That, and the cover art is nice. Just out of curiosity, is anything in those chapters censored in the VizBigs?

I bought Dragon Ball Z Kai Collection 3 Blu-Ray yesterday. It cost me more than what I really wanted to pay, but it was also the cheapest online here in New Zealand. $NZ42 + Post.

I'll probably get the 'Season 3 and Season 4' sets now that I have Parts 1-4 with their original music tracks.

I bought Jump Super Stars on Wednesday. Does that count? I know it has Dragon Ball in it, I was just wondering if it actually counted.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

No. Please post me your copy of the game and then leave the thread quietly.

Subs + HQ video.

I was miffed that my mac won't play R2s without stupid consequences... So I ripped it on another computer and flash-drived it back to my main. Also, the packaging is awesome!

Yep, they're Jakks Pacifics. Loose figures, though, no packaging.

Got a school-outfit Gohan, GT Base Kid Goku and Pan.

I got word from my friend in America that several Dragon Ball Z DVDs have arrived safely at his place. Just waiting on another 8 to arrive before he forwards them over me :D
