The Best Buys and Barnes and Nobles and such near me sell a good amount of DVDs and Manga volumes. Toy Stores sell the recent action figures and stuff, too. But other than that, it is hard to find stuff.

There's one local small anime and J-pop store that opened last year. I took my sister there, as she'd been bugging me to... and there wasn't squat in DragonBall stuff. There was like, maybe one Goku keychain or something like that, but otherwise nothing. No DVDs, Manga, T-Shirts, nuttin'.

All I can find here in Southern California:

-Crappy DBZ Action figures at K-mart

-DB/DBZ Graphic novels at bookstores

-Very few DVDs at places like Best Buy and Suncoast. It seems they only carry the newer DVDs, Like the "First Strike" and GT boxsets, and movies 12 and 13.

No use complaining, after all, that's why we have the intarwebs.

I've never actually seen DB, Z or even GT DVDs anywhere. I've seen toys in a couple of places, and they sell the video games practically everyhwere as well. As for the manga, although most book stores have it, they're often missing volumes, so I often find I'm missing the last volume of a saga, ie the Freeza and Tenshinhan Sagas, and some sagas I dron't have altogether, like the Cell Saga.

In the UK, you can find the manga of Dragonball and Z here and there, and the horribly dubbed DBZ movie DVDs. There used to be a lot of toys around but i'm afraid they've left us too. Availability of DBZ Merchandise in the UK is very poor, especially in London.

In SG, the amount of DB/Z/GT DVD/VCD is quite low, the amount of them in english is even lower (not japanese but some other thing with subtitle). The manga, I can't find anything! Toys, also hard to fins but sometimes the fastfood stores like McDonald and BurgerKing sell them, so its hard for me to get any without Internet. :cry:
