It never to late to change. You can buy the series at quite a reasonable price now. I still don't have all the manga yet though (missing 13-15, 20, 24 & 25 of Z)
This is so very true! If you're a fan of the series you really should support it by purchasing what you can. You won't ever regret actually owning this series!

Prepare for the agonizing pain and sorrow you will go threw to find Dragon Box 2 for a reasonable price.

Welcome to the club.
Just by looking at the prices of box 2 on Amazon, it looks like that'll be the last box I go after. I plan on getting them in this order:

Box 5(Just bought)
Box 6
Box 7
Box 1
Box 3
Box 4
Box 2

Besides the Limited Edition of Battle of Gods, I recently nabbed a Vegito figure on ebay that I used to have when I was a kid. Was one of those Super Big figures that were made of hollow plastic. I remember when these guys were sold at Toys R Us, damn did I wand Cyborg 13 back then.

Probably not, since that's the digital version's cover.

Did you order yours from Amazon Japan or Shueisha's Manga Online website?

Viz's digital release is nice and all, but I'd love to be able to get the Japanese version.

Also, how do you receive it? Do you download it as a PDF that you can read on your computer or tablet or phone or whatever?

I purchased it from http://seiga.nicovideo.jp, haven't tried purchasing from Yahoo's bookstore but the jump bookstore only accepts Japanese credit cards, won't even accept my banks debit card...
Also the amazon download is kindle only and for the android/iOS kindle app I believe you have to purchase it through that.

It isn't really a purchase, but my friend gave me his old Super Big Super Saiyan Goku figure. The only problem is that his head is broken off. Planning on gluing it and uploading pictures of it when my Dragon Box comes.

EDIT: It's the same line as KentalSSJ6's Vegetto figure.

Actually, that's not the exact figure from back in the day if you're talking about the line that included Android 13. :p

I still have my original giant Vegetto and 13 from back in the day. I didn't even know who 13 was back then. The one you're thinking of has a yelling face and his arms are bent halfway. Though, I think the figures from the line you just bought from have better sculpting.

Yeah that was it, do you happen to have a image of them? I cant find them anywhere, not even google images.

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!"
