Yeah I waited quite a while to get them but incredibly worth it. The Chi-Chi is spot on and the 18 is PHENOMENAL. From the base, to the figure, holy crap. She goes with my other SCultures 16, perfectly. I'm dying for SCultures to make a 17 and 19 to complete the final set of the latter Androids. An Imperfect Cell, Semi-Perfect Cell and SSJ2 Gohan would just be the perfect addition.

:P Thanks, I love figures so of course I'd have to have something like this, lol. A shame I sold my HQDX SSJ4 Gogeta + Vegeta or I would've thrown that in too and done one for Vegeta as well and then one big wall of them together :o damn, giving me ideas in my own replies! Lol
Otaku at heart.

Whoa that took long enough for you to get Full Colour Vol. 01 but congrats.

Still, Viz only intends to release up to volume three? What a dick move of Viz. I was planning to buy all twenty mangas from them. :?

It's volume 2 actually, but it was dispatched a week last Friday within the U.K

But yeah, they told me on Facebook but then they liked my comment saying that its a shame and I would like to own all of Z on this format. So who knows. Maybe it is dependant on sale's.

I got my Full Color Vol. 1 today and couldnt be happier.
I hope Viz will release the other sagas too. Its the legendary Dragon Ball, after all.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Why do you feel the urge to respond to everyone like this? You're acting like anyone who didn't run out and pick this up the second it hit shelves has no business posting the fact that they bought it. I'm not trying to be rude and I don't know if you intend for it to come across this way, but it's just coming off as incredibly dickish every time I see one of these responses.

It's great that they bought it and I'm not saying anything negative regarding that but now if Viz really plans to cancel this by the third volume I'll just never buy Dragon Ball mangas from them again.

For anyone wondering, here's their exact reply:
For the time being we only have plans to release the Saiyan Arc. If we release other arcs in the future we will be sure to make an announcement.
On a side note, I must say, I'm very impressed with Viz's Facebook/Social media team. While searching for this post, I noticed they'd replied to almost every message they'd gotten.

Folks in the UK who want Volume 2 of the full colour manga:
http://www.bookdepository.com/Dragonbal ... 1421565934
Not the fastest company, but for what £9 certainly worth it.

Thanks for that. Just placed an order with them. I'm in no rush to get a hold of it so that's perfect for me!

Nabbed Dragon Box 1 on eBay for $50. It's shipping now. Lots of people trying to sell you that one for around $70 to $100. Saw the color manga in store yesterday and was really tempted to buy it. I'll have to wait a minute on that.

No problem. They're a pretty decent company in my experience, they pretty much have books in stock from the American release dates and there prices are no more then what say companies like Amazon sell them for.

Sweet!

Thanks a lot Baggie_Saiyan, I just ordered Dragon Ball Full Colour Vol. 02/20 from Book Depository, and cancelled it from Amazon UK although I still kept my order for Vol. 03/20 because it's at £10.01 so that's kinda the cheapest for now.

Can't wait to start reading part 2 of the Saiyan arc and hopefully Viz releases the entire series.

Edit: Also bought this just now from eBay.

I figured I didn't have a poster and liked this one of Dragon Ball GT, plus it was cheap so why not!

Oh wow, all I've ever seen of that art before is a scan (that I then had to have help finding a better quality picture of it), nice snag!

I don't mind saying. I'm hoping I didn't get scammed though. A "Just Launched" seller put up a listing for Dbox 2 for $140. I debated on it, but after discovering Amazon's "A-Z Protection" I decided to try it out. Basically, if the product is not as described, never arrives, etc, etc. As long as I first try to sort it out with the seller, Amazon will refund my money.

So, I'm in it about $140.
