Awesome acquisition, Rambo! Will you try to complete the set with the other programs little by little?

Brownie point. :D I might be going to the Streets of Woodfield Loew's Theaters in Illinois (that one that Oldphan went to) for that skill crane machine to rack up a couple o' more. Just need normal Goku and S.S. Trunks. (The other theater I went to was overflooded with Super Saiyan Goku figures. I guess the Japanese aren't the only Son Goku fanboys around. :x)

I'd love to, but they're so hard to come by and often go for ridiculous prices (I've seen individual ones listed in the $100+ range).

Geez. I'm seriously a horrible poster. I edit like every post once or twice. :lol: Oh, that sucks. I envy the people that actually do have a skill crane machine location from walking distance. :?

I finally got my Ore wa Tokoton Tomaranai!!/Kusuburu Heart ni Hi o Tsukero!! CD Single in from Japan today. The songs are so much clearer in CD quality. 8)

Now all I have to get for the Game songs in the Hikari no Sasu Mirai e! CD single, and maybe the Biggest Fight (Final Bout opening) CD single, if it exists...
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Fan of Dragon Ball Z and various other Anime since '98! ^^

Nice! I've really been wanting to start my own Dragon Ball BGM collection for a pretty long time now. Just don't know where to start or when to start. :?:

Nope. Gotta get the whole OST if you want it. CDJapan has it (~$23), Play-Asia has it (~$25), and Amazon Japan has it (~$23). Pick your poison :).

I figured that Biggest Fight would only be on the Soundtrack. Oh well. I can deal with getting the Infinite Word single, it's the same as the Final Bout soundtrack, and I do NOT like the sound of putting down almost 80 bucks for 2 damn CDs. :oops:

The last purchase I made was getting "season 9" of the "remastered" Funimation boxsets when it was released months ago... I know, I know.

Well, not all, but about 99.9%.

Anyway, I picked up Super DBZ and Legends before leaving Japan.

I picked up the Evolution "Z edition" DVD at Target today. I actually enjoyed the film for what it was, so I'm looking forward to watching it again when I've got the time :)

My most recent purchase was Dragonball Evolution on Blu-ray.

I still think it's a good Dragonball movie. o_o;

I got $200 because it's my birthday today(I'm 19 now), and I used about $45 to order 3 Hybrid Action Figures.

I haven't yet received them (I just ordered them!:P) but I am very excited and hope the Hybrid figures are worth it!

Here are the ones I ordered:

Only thing I am worried about is Super Saiyan 3 Goku's hair looking weird when looking at the actual figure... :? I hope it looks better on the actual figure...
