I bought them on ebay from a Japanese seller.(anime-export-com) He's a great seller who I've bought from many times in the past.

Just finished placing the order for these 2 Figures :P (Thnx again Bussani)

ImageImage

But while ordering these figures i came across some more figures from the same series, and it seems Android #18 was already release once before under the Dragon Ball Z DX series #3. Can anyone tell me if there are any differences between the 2 versions, and why it was released again?

And does anyone maybe have a list of all the figures Banpresto released for Dragonball/Z/GT?
I just recently started collecting a few figures, but all the differend series are a bit confusing.

There are literally hundreds if not thousands of Banpresto Dragonball releases. You can check the archive on dragonballtoys.com but it is currently far from complete. As far as the Pichi Pichi Gals series here is a list of all released figures:

Series 1
1. Chi Chi
2. Bulma (military outfit)

Image

Series 2
1. Bulma (black bunny suit)
2. Bulma (military outfit) - rerelease

Image

Series 3
1. Bulma (white bunny suit)
2. Android 18

Image

Series 4
1. Android 18 - rerelease
2. Videl

I just got an unexpected email that my second Funimation Dragonbox shipped today from http://www.dvdpacific.com

So I guess that makes US DBox 2 my latest Dragonball purchase.

:shock: You may be the first here to get it then since I don't think anyone has mentioned their RightStuf order shipping*.

*EDIT: And now people are mentioning that RightStuf is charging them for DBox 2. So maybe not. :mrgreen:

Thanks a lot for the information Mike!

Do you happen to know a store that might still be selling the authentic Chi Chi and Bulma figures?

Toys Logic has Bulma (original bunny suit) for pre-order but not Chichi (I'm still looking for her myself). They also have Android 18 and Videl too.

You can also get Android 18and Videl over at Hobby Links Japan.

If I find more legit online stores that has them, I'll post them here. And hell, there's always ebay.

You ordered it online and still chose the expensive prices. What. Unless you ordered from some place different though. >_>

They were cheaper though even though I ordered them from Barnes and Noble so it came to $25.90 since they were both $12.95.

Ah, you are a member. That's not so bad. Manga is cheaper there than at Borders since they're 40% coupons doesn't apply for it.

Either way, Amazon Market is cheaper most of the time.
New DragonBall Z VizBig 1 + Shipping = $8.47

For Volume 2, it is worth it at the price you paid at B&N, since everywhere else is within a dollar of that price range at the least.

Yeah, I'm hoping to catch up to Z by the time my birthday rolls around the corner it's on the 28th of next month though technically it should be the 29th but that's besides the point. So I hope I can get volume 4 of Z some how then get 5 and 6 for my b-day and then work on Dragon Ball. I just hope my plan works.

Just got Evolution off of Ebay for about 8 bucks, including shipping.

C'mon...it's only $8...and for some reason...I just don't feel right not owning this movie.
