Thank you very much sir!
One thing I would like to mention, is that I chose the Hybrids because I have some Rockman X Mega Armor model's and the articulation is great! They are around 4 inches so the Hybrids would go great with them, and I could even make some "Dragon Ball vs. Mega Man X" scenarios on my shelf!
I understand that the hybrids can look a bit awkward in some areas, but I think the amazing articulation would make up for it in the long run...
That, and I don't want to have a bunch of stiff, uniform statues on my shelf!

I ordered the first 2 Dragon Ball VIZBIGS for less than $25, and that includes shipping. They should be here any day now.

I ordered 2 Dragon Ball Z posters for $8 and Ranma 1/2 Season 5 boxset.
(Dang, All Vegetto action figures are expensive! I'd love to get a big figure of Vegetto cheap but I have plans. Either I drop Kai orders or Vegetto figures. Can't decided.)

Or if your store is like mine and kicks ass, they're 2 bucks.

I just bought the first Daizenshuu. I had a gift card and a coupon. I only spent $5 of my own money!
I just got done flipping through it, I'll check it out in more detail later. I sure hope Viz gets around to releasing the rest of them.
Also, the game store I work at got a copy of
Dragon Power in today. Should I buy it?

Awesome! I hope that they release the rest of 'em here, too.

As for Dragon Power... the game is really a rare gem. If the price is reasonable, I'd say go for it.

Actually, it's not all that rare. I wouldn't pay more than 5 bucks for it. And if you absolutely have to have it, I always see them on ebay.

Wait, seriously?!
Edit: Huh, I guess it isn't all that rare.

It's much more monumental than rare, but would still be a neat thin to have, if you're into video games and America's involvement in Dragonball.

Pre-ordered the first Dragon Box, bought Daizenshuu #1 and #4 and a couple of figurines. The next thing will probably be the upcoming Kai game on the DS. These are all the first DBZ things I've bought apart from a few PS2 games. Oh, years I also bought some trading cards that I was really surprised to see at my local off-license (liquor store).

Maybe if your house was somehow inside of mine.

Dragon Ball The Complete Illustrations.

Are VIZ releasing the other ones?
