Amazon finally came through with Dragon Ball Season 2 yesterday. Now I'm just waiting for my Dragon Box. Come-freaking-on already! I ordered these things in like September!

It does look a little off. Maybe it's smaller because of the figure's size? :?
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! ^^

Goku and Gohan coming out of the ROSAT was one of my favs from that early set. Mine came in the copper also. I kinda wanted it in color. Rightstuf has the 1st set, for $12. HERE

I don't want to rub it in, but wow. I got mine awhile ago. I guess I have just had it so long it seems weird people still don't have it. I ordered from Rightstuf so it came a few weeks early.

I have the RoSaT one in color, looks pretty nice. To continue the off-topicness, does anyone have the Saiyan Saga of that set? I bought the Freeza, Cell and Buu arc sets from Rightstuf, but they've never had Series 1. Just curious as to what it came with.
Not a problem.

He's part of the cold statue thingy to the right of Piccolo and Kami, and left of Goku and Gohan. He's in his super-duper buff form, punching the ground as Gohan dodges. It's a bit hard to see his wings, due to the angle. It looks like he's wearing Batman's utility belt for some reason. Maybe it's just because of the angle or the lighting or something.

Hey hey hey hey hey...hey...hey...hey hey...

Just because I ordered it in September doesn't mean that it should've come to me at that time because as we all know that's impossible. I got a good deal on it, I'm paying $47.99. I'm anxious, and excited, but at the same time, it's so close that I feel alright with it. I mean what, I'll get it by next week anyway.

What you're seeing is the piece that connects Cell's upper torso to his lower torso. You have to assemble these figures, so it must've come loose while I was handling it.

I think his comment about delivery time was in reference to Dragonball Season 2, not the Dragonbox.

Too bad Dragon Ball figurines seem a lot more common than action figures. Action figures are better, you can make them fight and go on adventures and stuff.

They've changed the name to DragonBall Kai on all the new figure releases. Simply a merchandising tie-in situation.

I've got the entire DBZ and GT [minus cell saga][and they didnt go a full run of DB] and i cant even get rid of them for 1 dollar a VHS.
You are both nuts, man. Why would you get rid of them? They are freakin' collectibles no matter if you use them or they have been used or not. To me, you aren't too much of a true fan if you gotta give away DB stuff, especially VHS. You're nuts, homie.

Dude, I AM the market for VHS DB/Z/GT, especially if they are the Japanese VHS versions. Those are classics. All of my recent DB purchases 'cept the Dbox have been VHS. My collection of the Japanese version VHS is movie 1, 7, 9, and 11. I am really looking for the episodes now, since I know I can get the movies easily as hell. The episodes are the hard ones.
