Wow, stuff. I love stuff. Here's my stuff:

Image
My DVDs.

Image
My video games and CDs.

Next are my bookcases. I have two bookcases dedicated to manga, and they also double as display shelves. I have a gashapon addiction, so the bookshelves are pretty much at their limit not only for holding manga, but also for gashapon ^_^;;
Image
Japanese manga 1-42, plus a series of assembleable (not a word?) action figures that come with different heads and hands and stuff. There are two Trunks heads because one is an extra for the Trunks figure that's currently in Super Saiyan form and the other one I got from a guy working at a comic book store. Those dragon balls on top of the books are from a gashapon set that came packaged in those rather than the usual plastic containers (wish I'd bought all of them so I'd have the complete set, but they were pretty expensive, and I don't think the comic book store I got them at even had them all).

Image
Since I've moved a couple times and forgot which sets individual gashapon belonged to, I've taken to dividing them by character. So, this shelf features Vegeta and Trunks figures. My favorite one, the Vegeta ripping apart #19, I got from a machine in a gashapon store in Japan. It only took me a couple tries, so I was really happy to get it ^_^ I'm also partial to the Vegeta figure in Oozaru form....he comes with alternate heads to make him Super Saiyan or whatever....but I prefer him in this form, taking a bit out of the tiny Gokuu that's supposed to be standing on the scenery behind him ;P (but he's so perfectly bite sized! How can I resist shoving him into Vegeta's mouth?)

Image
More random gashapon, mostly ones I got in Japan whenever I happened to have extra change ;P

Image
Giant size Vegetto totally pwnz Vash and Fuu.

Image
The Burger King toys from a few years back....which I didn't actually get at Burger King because the one time I went to go get them they were out and I got some Pokemon cards or something instead :P I actually received them as an extra for some reason when I ordered something from Funimation's online store (maybe they had a bunch left over?)

Image
More gashapon, plus all of the Daizenshuu.

Image
Some Gohan gashapon, the Landmark, Forever, and other anime guides, Neko Majin, and the GT Perfect Files (Number 2 is the first edition one, while number 1 is the recent reprint....I thought I was never going to find the first one again after I chose years ago to only buy the second one instead of both, so I'm glad they re-released them).

Image
In my car, there's the Trunks plushie with the "Super Safe Driving" sign (it must be working....haven't been in any accidents yet ;P).

And for the win....

Image
Certainly the weirdest Dragonball item I own is this: Dragonball kewpie cellphone attachments (I'm sure they're neither official Dragonball nor official kewpie merchandise :P). When I was in Japan in summer 2004, I found a little hole-in-the-wall toy store that had tons of these little kewpie figures from all different anime. They had another Dragonball one that was Gokuu & Gohan or Gokuu & Freeza or something, but I just had to go for the Piccolo & Kamesennin set. Why would anyone ever pair those characters together? It makes no sense, so I had to have it ^_^ And it's so absurdly cute, and if Japan is good for anything, isn't it absurd cuteness?

Assloads of trading cards
Probably more....

Sorry to keep you waiting! Are you ready for this?

This is every scrap of existing manga, all 7 Daizenshuu, all five DragonBoxes (AND the hidden special-edition Super Happy Fun-Fun Secret Time!! 6th box-- too bad, Corey), the DragonBox singles and the three collectable dioramas, all the DragonBall games from every generation system and YES, I even managed to get FUNimation's Vegeta Saga Season One set two months ahead of release. Envy and die:

You can call me Rick because I'm not actually Piccolo.
I missed out on all of the DB Movie fun, huh?[quote]Point blank: it's gonna suck if you want it to. Personally, I'm seeing it as a comedy.[/quote][/size]

Question capsuleman:
Do you just have the two arcade boards or do you have the machine to plug them into? If you don't, how do you play them?

Yes I do have an arcade machine that I use both games on. It's a Un Squadron machine that I converted for the DBZ boards.
As far as I can tell these two games never had a real arcade unit officially made for them. There's pics floating around for DBZ 2 but they always look "Home Made." The one I am looking for is the first DBZ game in the arcade unit that Mr. Toriyama actually designed. Well I should say I have found it I just dont want to spend that much quite yet.

Here's a few cels I found laying around. I think I have more cels, but I dont remember what box I have them in.

Hopefully I can post more pictures soon.

Where did you get those Bio-Brolly standee's? Those look so badass, and I've never seen any on eBay...

And you have an amazing collection. Do you have the Super Battle Collection toys? :lol:

I got those standee's from Suncoast Video, they were on display until the DVD's were released.

Yes
