:shock: I want a movie ticket so bad. I wonder if I can find one on ebay for not $1000. :(

Those tickets were Limited Edition to people who bought tickets early, right? I wish I had a Julian living in Japan.

Mewtwo FTW :D .

So it seems we all agree on here that D-Arts Mewtwo is totally awesome. Good job VegettoEX. I have one myself, too. 8)

My season 2 of kai just came in. I might be a little late on the purchase, but hey, nothing like showing love to help the industry.

You have a pretty sweet collection (and your swords too :wink: ) Payne222!


I got Budokai 2 today (I had to re buy it as my old one broke a long time ago). I would totally post a picture but my Macbook won't read my SD cards! :evil: :cry:

Haha thanks! The Toriyama stuff is maybe 1/3 of the whole manga collection...which I expand on every week or so with visits to Sanseido/Barnes & Nobel!

Most recent DB purchase? I just bought DBZ Budokai for PS2 yesterday. I also purchased Season 1 of DBZ Kai on BD in January, got Season 2 for my birthday in March. I just gotta save up for the rest of them.

You can't use hot glue on it? or some type of glue? I bought a really expensive Wolfman figure and his arm was broke so I used glue on him. :wink:
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

It isn't a matter of gluing since that peg doesn't fit. I'd have to sand down the peg, then glue it on and I wish they would just send a replacement pedal :/

They were both reverse-threaded?! :o

...I'm surprised there's that level of detail on a model. :?

In all seriousness, though, I'm not sure what you should do. You could try and hash out a DIY solution, or maybe contact the manufacturer and hope for a response, as it seems like a mistake. Don't know if they have anyone who speaks English, though.
