What is your most precious Dragon Ball related item?

[Duo]

DBZ Movies 1, 9, and 12. Kanzenban #16. Dragonboxes, oofff course!

For me right now I'd have to say my most precious Dragon Ball related item would have to be my Saga of Goku R4 DVD, just for the fact it was for a long time the only official English uncut home release of the first 13 episodes.

My most precious items right now are my Dragonbox Vol. 2 signed by Ryo Horikawa and my Dragonbox Vol. 6 signed by Toshio Furukawa. If all goes according to plan, in May I'll have Dragonbox Vol. 3 signed by Ryūsei Nakao and Vol. 1, Vol. 5, and Vol. 7 signed by the great Masako Nozawa!

Hmm...this is a tough choice for me, mostly because...well, I don't really know if I have anything Dragon Ball related that I'd really, really call precious. I guess in a way, I have three items though. There's my VHS copy of Bardock: The Father of Goku since I'm pretty sure that was the first official Dragon Ball product I ever bought (though it may have been the 'Crash Course' volume of the Great Saiyaman Saga...not sure). Then there's Dragon Ball: Volume 16, as it was the first manga (DB or otherwise) that I ever bought. Finally there'd be my Japanese copy of Ultimate Battle 22 that my mom got me for Christmas a few years back, simply cuz it's this totally random item that I can say I have just to say I have.

...So, yeah. Nothing really truly precious I'd say, so I'll include the three things closest to that status.

If it wasn't for those Americans it is very unlikely that we would be getting any Dragon Ball series outside of Japan. I love the Ocean dub but i don't rip into the Funi or Japanese voice cast at any chance i can, and i can't stand the Japanese dub. Some people just can't seem to understand that people have different opinions to them.

The first to dub and get the series out of Japan was France, and because of them FUNimation kept the replacement name of Mr. Satan which is Hеrcule.

By the way, Japanese audio not dub.

Ok then fine, if it wasn't for those Americans then the Dragon Ball series probably wouldn't have gained the popularity it has gained now.

Also about the bit in bold, who cares, it's basically the same thing.

Masako Nozawa and Ryūsei Nakao are planning to be guests at a convention in North Carolina this May. I'm still so very excited about it!

Probably my Dragon Boxes (only need Vol. 2 as of yesterday!) and my DBZ Kai Parts 1 and 2 as far as DVDs go. Why Kai Parts 1 and 2? Well, Kai Part 1 was my very first Dragonball DVD as well as my first anime DVD that wasn't a movie. It was the start of my collection! As for Part 2, I had that signed by Ryo Horikawa at AWA last year. As far as non-DVD stuffs go, I would definitely have to say that my Irwin Super Saiyan Goku would be it. My parents bought me one for my birthday when I was in first grade, and it was my favorite toy growing up. Over time, he got beat up and eventually lost a leg beyond repair, so I unfortunately had to let him go. Then last year, when I was at a local retro toy and game shop, I happened to see the same figure on a shelf. I had to snatch it up; I vowed to take good care of this one, so that I could one day pass it down to my own kids. He's currently on display along with my DVDs and other Dragonball figures. I suppose all of my figures are precious to me, though, for they all have wonderful (although not all that exciting) stories behind them all, given to me by people precious in my life. However, that stupid Irwin Goku is the most precious out of all of them.

My most precious Dragon Ball item is very small, but it's pretty valuable to me because it was my first ever introduction to Dragon Ball. A really long time ago, I think I was 8/9 years old at the time, my friend gave me this card (along with a couple of Sailormoon cards). She was from Hong Kong and she was already familiar with DB and I remember her brother's room had all these huge DB posters hanging on the walls. I didn't have a clue who or what was on the card because DBZ hadn't aired yet in my country, but I appreciated the gesture nonetheless. Over the years I kinda forgot about the card, but I still remember thinking that this one guy (who turned out to be Trunks, one of my favs) looked like a monster. So when DBZ finally aired on television and I became a fan, I went looking for the card and I could finally recognize the characters on it.
So this little card kinda foretold what was in store for me.



(BTW, does anyone know which deck this card is from? )

And my other valuable Dragon Ball items include:


The Dutch Kanzenban, and also the DBZ Complete Manga Box Set.

Everything Dragon Ball related I have is equally precious, but the 7 Dragon Boxes really are at the top of the list.

Only because of it's price, Dragon Box 2 is actually my absolute most treasured... ...

Tie between the Dragon Boxes I have, the VizBigs and LOG trilogy...
