At last grabbed a copy of DBZ:TTT with the original cover and regarding that YGO I'll just sell it on Amazon or something.

Unfortunately the English edition of Tenkaichi Tag only has the Kai dub voices but it's passable.

Yesterday I got the UK release of GT Season 1 and am really enjoying it so far. Truly an underrated show.

Yeah, I enjoyed my Complete Series set enough to warrant having friends borrow it. I love the score and the art style can be fun.

On topic, though, I also rebought myself Raging Blast on the PS3. It's as broken as ever. -content sigh-

FINALLY. I've been trying to get my hands on the Chōgashū ever since its release date. I waited about a week, and by the time I had my paycheck, it was already long gone. CDJapan was out of stock. Amazon Japan was out of stock. I still don't think Amazon Japan has restocked this thing since its release week. Either this book was severely under-produced or it's just selling that well. I checked CDJapan every week for months. I was really starting to think I would never own this book. I was lucky enough to snag a copy from CDJapan when they briefly restocked (which I think only lasted a few days). I feel so lucky to finally have it. Easily one of the best pieces of DB memorabilia in series history.

I've been hunting those two CDs for a while. Thanks to an awesome eBay seller, I now own every single piece of commercially released Kikuchi music for DBZ. It's kind of sad, actually. I don't really want it to end. Now I just need to track down that lousy, overpriced, literally impossible to find Daizenshū set for those exclusive DB BGM tracks. Then I'll finally have all the Dragon Ball music I wanted to collect.

I bought this Imperfect Cell DVD box for $3 (Plus $4 shipping but I got another DVD as well so it wasn't too bad) from a used DVD site. It came in fine condition. I find it odd that Funimation used Semi-Perfect Cell for the boxart instead of Imperfect Cell for this when he doesn't even appear until the end. Anyway, I mostly grabbed it solely because it was cheap, but I really liked these episodes as a kid with the English dub replacement score so I don't mind the redundancy in my collection (I also have all of the US Dragon Boxes and Kai on Blu-Ray).
I also got this as a birthday gift from my mom. I almost bought it a month ago from a Barnes and Noble, but I had reached my spending limit for the day. I came back this month with my mom (I don't get to shop much because it's over an hour drive to any decent stores) and they didn't have it. Luckily, a comic store I had visited had it for $10 more (Which was still cheaper than the current online prices). Anyway, this is my first SH Figuarts DBZ figure (I have the Sailor Moon ones). I don't really like the faces on most of them, but I've pre-ordered the regular Goku and wanted this guy to go with him. Those two figures are the only ones that I like enough to spend the cash on.

Anime meetings? Sorry, I don't know what you're referring to. Are these in Newcastle?

I did get the Dragonball Cola for Christmas off my sister... I was pretty chuffed to be honest! Going to keep the cans. Might pick up some more next time I'm in town too. The drink wasn't the nicest I've drank, I'm not going to lie, but I won't complain if it has Vegeta on the front looking like a boss!

The last time I told folks here where cheap DBox 2's could be found I got screwed over by a member who bought um' all up before I could get one... Yea, mistake on my part, but still... :problem:

yamiace, you already got um' and by now people really want to know how to afford them, so I'd spill the beans lol. Even though odds are they wont be so lucky.

Yeah, I think I remember that. I recall seeing a photo of all of them too. That's pure evil. :evil:

This is really nerdy, but I hate the thought of all of those people who have Dragon Boxes in their possession, but don't have any idea on what they actually have. Same goes for collectors who prefer and own the 'Orange Bricks', but still have these. "Come on! You already have the series! I don't even own it once. I'd actually watch those Dragon Boxes." :cry:

Sometimes, I feel like I need to grow up a little...nah.

*Goes back to watching children's cartoon from the 80s/90s* :lol:

EDIT: Picked this fella' up for a grand total of $24, including shipping:

Apparently it's missing the last two discs, which are the 'Baba' episodes, but $24 for 67 episodes. Yeah, like I'm gonna complain. The 'Fortuneteller Baba Saga' set is fairly easy to track down, anyway.

^Lucky Bastard! I never see those sets for less than what Madman sells them for.

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!"

Just received Battle of Gods on Blu-Ray in the mail today, along with the Season 1 Blu-Ray (Wasn't as bad as I was expecting, looks pretty decent however I'm only on the Gohan meets the robot episode). Is it possible that I can add Subtitles to my BOG Blu-Ray?

Received my Tenkaichi Tag Team copy and it's all in English, I was actually surprised to see that there were copies like these because all that I've ever seen for sale were the "Essentials" edition which I hate.
I know that I'm nit-picking but since I'm buying it I should have the right to choose. ^_^

Next up should be the other DBZ games for PSP (SB1 & SB2, Evolution is just Shin Budokai reskinned).

Just purchased the following Dragon Ball Saga sets:

Tournament Saga
General Blue Saga
Commander Red Saga
Fortuneteller Baba Saga
T ien Shinhan Saga
King Piccolo Saga Part One

And now my DB collection is complete... except for the first thirteen episodes. Damn it. Need to find the Australian version.

(Can't believe it's been this long, yet I haven't seen most of the DB portion of the anime)
