Holy cow! That's quite a collection. You'd be sold for a fortune! :shock:

As for my old item, I used to have several Japanese DBZ cards. Also I had my first ever Dragon Ball Z manga in magazine form (I think it was back in 2000). Never had a rare item though.

Speaking of the Viz manga, whenabouts was it that they finally stopped saying he lived in Tokyo? I seem to remember it continuing at least until the beginning of the US Shonen Jump; I got on their case about it a couple of times, but eventually gave up. Toriyama actively hates even the idea of living in a big city, let alone the big city as far as Japan is concerned.

Here's my stuff.

A folder full of trading cards, two boxes of some Gohan and Tenshinan toys (the toys got lost, I only had the boxes tucked away for some reason, lol), a coloring book, a sticker book, and Goku & Krillin Burger King toys.
Image

Some cards inside the folder. Some are in spanish, most in english.
Image

Oooh, shiny cards!
Image

Hatchiyack!
Image

Inside the drawing book.
Image

I've always been a shitty artist. I only drew Goku and left the book alone, lol.
Image

Inside the sticker book. I didn't really stick them to anything, just left them alone.

The Krillin Burger King toy from like almost 13 years ago; it says ©2000. The light still turns on!

Well, that's about all I could find in my closet and garage. :)

I had the Burger King toy of Gohan. I think it was 1999 when DBZ started to grow more popular at the time and that's when I used to hated the show.

These are great! Glad this thread was made. Definitely brings back memories. I used to have Tenshinhan and Vegeta model kits as well. :)

I wonder if there's still old DBZ items selling on Amazon...

Edit: Wow, they are still selling model kits for $30!

Here are some of the packages the cards came with

Also some action figures! I got interested in customizing figures after seeing some a website dedicated to custom DBZ figures *cant remember the name now*

Maybe 2003 March (when Viz switched from their Viz Graphic Novels line to their Shonen Jump Graphic Novels line)? I own the first ten volumes in Viz Graphic Novels edition, then volumes 11 through 16 in Shonen Jump Graphic Novels edition, so there's a bit of a gap... They're all first printing by the way. But anyways, volume 11 has "Tokyo" removed from the author description.

The oldest DBZ merch I had was those DBZ toys, where Ginyu and Vegeta were shooting these beams and you could press a button or something and it would launch a ball (beam). I had 2 Goku's, both with a removable shirt and his SSJ form had removable rubber hair However, I gave all those away :(

This is the Vegeta I had all those years ago. And that Goku and even Freeza (I had lost his tail) looks like the one I had.
