Yes, but couldn't you tell I was desperate?

Try and forgive me this once. I'll try to be a bit more subtle and humble next time I "move up a rank."

I have two greatest achievements: The first was getting the British version of Final Bout. It's crap, but I always wanted it when I was younger, because I owned a Playstation, it had SSj4 Goku, and it was in 3D. The other achievement was when I found a store that sells the DB manga, well, any manga really.

I would have to say that my greatest achievement was getting the Dragonball Dragonbox for 150$ less than its original price. :lol:
Also, getting the entire daizenshuu collection and the japanese manga as well (all 42 volumes).
ORA SONGOKOU DA!

I guess this is mostly material-based achievements. :P
OK then, I don't own much DragonBall stuff. But I got a couple:

Getting DragonBall GT: Final Bout for $10 from someone online. This was before the re-release. It was only the game disc though, no jewel case or booklet.

I'm also rather fond of IF Labs's DragonBall toy line.

I got all 8, new in their boxes, for $20 online (well, $45, but $25 was the shipping).

Errrrrrrrrrrrrmmm... getting all the manga volume and the entire run of GT on DVD, I guess would count as "achievements". There isn't much I try to "achieve" as far as Dragonball is concerned. About the only other thing I'm shooting for is getting the DVD box sets when they come out.

When I finally got the awesome Mecha Freeza toy. Oh man... it's so sweet, articulated, detailed... Makes me so happy to finally own it. I also got an X-Men sentinel the same day... It was a good day.

A have a couple:

1. Still owning a sealed version of DragonBall: Legends for Playstation. (Oh, so very sexy, I know and no I'm not selling.)
2. The additions I add to my lil' DBZ games. (What was that, you need a link, well since you begged and I'm a nice guy click here)
3. Bringing myself to complete a collection of something (DragonBall Manga)
4.Defending DragonBall in an mature way to the immature.(i.e. Naruto >DB Fans)
5. Explaining it to a level that my female friend can understand. (Hardest accompishment imo)
6. Preforming a successful fusion dance. (I'm dipping into those stupid " You know your into DBZ when.." lists, I know..)
7.Getting involved in the Daizex world. (I've learned a lot through the forum, podcast, and site so thank you.)
8.Meeting cool people through DragonBall (It's a small world.. dragonworld that is.. corny I know.)
9.Hearing Vegeta's voice in Japanese (The most badass voice ever. I wish I talked like that 24/7)
10. Discovering Mr. Popo (Finally someone darker than Bernie Mac :P ).

Note: When Mr.Piccolo says "couple" he probably means about ten.. 8)

That's the shop in the Launceston mall right? I've gotten a few things from there. Anyway, the shop that I usually visit in Hobart is called 'Area 52'. It's loaded with manga and anime DVDs. I'm quite happy I found it.

*dusts self off, clears throat* Whoo...it's been a while.

Anywhoo, I have to say my greatest DB achievment so far is owning the final Dragon Box. Though I recently found Daizenshuu 1 and the 5-CD Daizenshuu set (at the same comic shop, no less), the Dragon Box is really the peak of my fandom at the moment.

Way back in the day, the greatest achievment for me was buying and playing DBZ: IDD for the Saturn. It was my first exposure to Japanese DBZ. Following that would be discovering a store in a shopping mall close to me that had a wall full of fansubs, with a crapload of DB tapes.

Getting kanzenban and some of the guides and tankoben from Kinokuniya in NYC.


Oh, and Kakazilla. He's this awesome foot-tall Goku figure made a couple years ago in japan that I got at a semi-local mall.
On hiatus.

My biggest achievement was buying the Movie 12 two-track mini-disk thingy from a fellow forumer who lived in Hawaii, for $2 plus shipping, and then breaking the track "Saikyou no Fyuujion" by putting tape on it. Luckily, "Ai no BARAADO no you ni ~ BEJIITA no TEEMA~" was perfectly fine. It was only after I got it, though, that I realized it wasn't Vegeta usual voice actor singing the song. (Aw poo... :? )

Oh my god, I love that! XD It reminds me of how whenever my brother listened to "Cha La Head Cha La," he thinks Kageyama shouts "Fuck you!" when he's really saying "Sparking!" XD

This also reminds me of the "Yatta" video. Who knows what I'm talkin' about? Yeah! :P
What's scarier than a DBZ H-game?

Another one of mine would be actually being able to go to the store mentioned in the travel episode of the podcast and get DB Landmark.

And here's one for all of us: Being able to admit our DB fandom (to at least some extent) regardless of all of the shiznit it's been getting from haters. :D

Ohohoh!! HERE! Green leaves forever dude!!

And yes, being an open fan in a society like this is certainly an accomplishment. No joke, people have pointed and laughed at me and I'm still sticking with it.

Yeah, it's pretty daring for anyone to go out in a DB shirt nowadays, but whenever I do, I either get some whispers behind me and I end up being paranoid, or I get one guy who says something like "Oh I used to love that show when I was a kid!" which can be interpreted as either negative or positive. :?...

My greatest DB-achievement is probably my fansite, which has around a 1000 visitors a day. :D

The manga still hasn't ended here so no achievement for me there. :P

My greatest DB achievements:

1) Finally watching ALL 291 episodes of DBZ in Japanese. (I've never seen all of the Boo episodes in Japanese until just a few weeks ago.)

2) Owning all of GT on DVD (It's the shortest/easist DB series to collect though.)

3) Owning all of the DB-Z-GT TV Specials & Movies on DVD.

4) Being a DB fan for almost 10 years now and still proud of it. (I'll declare it proudly to anyone who asks: DB is my favorite anime BAR NONE.)
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.
