Nope. I live in Jersey. Not close to where ever that is. Also, I used the key words "comic shop" so it wasn't just an exclusively otaku themed place.
Otaku Hobbies is mostly comics as well, the owner just went with Otaku because most people around here prefer anime/manga (smart move)

Looking at some of those pictures, other than comic book character figures, most of that store seems anime focused.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

He does pictures of his shipments from Japan. He's got a wall of weapons there, boxes upon boxes of comics and figures, and apparently has a amazingly rare sketch of Disney's Snow White concept art along with a original newspaper with the Titanic Sinking headline.

Quick question for people here.

Do you guys think it would be more advantageous to sell all of the U.S. Dragon Boxes together or separately? And I mean all 1-7!

Tough question. I'd try to sell them seperalty but price them so you'd make what you'd want to make selling them as a set?

I don't really have a fixed amount of what I want...but I obviously don't want to get shortchanged too badly. :P As long as the final selling price isn't too ridiculously low I'd be fine with it. I've sold a ton of things on Ebay before but not sure how to approach these bad boys.

Hmm perhaps the amount it cost you to get all of them and maybe deduct a little (depending on the shape of each set). ^^ But then if you sell 2 and 4 for a bit more, I dont see a problem with that. If it's ebay, even if you start with around what it cost you, you'll be lower than a lot of boxes on there. Plus then a bidding war might start. So if you put Dbox 2 starting bid $30 and if goes up to $200+ then you milked nothing because bidders made it go that high :)

@rockthedragon I'd be interested in buying dragon box 2 and 4.
It is clear that sometime in Mark Satan's life, he acquired the dragon balls and called upon shenlong to grant him immortality.

I would be interested to buy the whole set maybe for $360. I could trade the Dragon Boxes I have for yours also, but they haves some wear.

Opps. Didn't expect that to happen. :lol:

Well anyone who IS interested in any of my Dragon Boxes can go ahead and shoot me a PM. I can't say for sure that I'll sell them to you (still thinking about selling them as one set) but we can discuss details at least. Thanks.

I'd be willing to buy all the Dragon z Boxes for $300. BNIB

This man is my hero:
To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the fans a re-issue might alienate because if all they're concerned about is being able to scalp the people who were either unaware of the Dragon Boxes or couldn't afford them at the time, they're just leeches and deserve to have their greed backfire on them.

For anyone wondering, this stands for Curse of the Blood Rubies.

I'm not the only one that took ages to work this out, right? :shifty:

I am not 100% sure but I know it's from china. Judging from "Dragon Ball II" I'd assume it was released before the official version.

People around this forum have mentioned that there has indeed been an official Mainland release but I've yet to see it for myself. It'd be great if someone could post more information on the official PRC release if anyone has it.
