As for DB toys, I only collect Super Battle Collection. Honestly, it's all you need. They are amazing.

Yes, Toywiz is a very high-priced site, yet they get all pre-orders before everyone. It's a good reference site, or for cards, and sometimes they have good clearance items. I got a nice Imperfect Cell Bust for $5 there. (Even though it was for a friend)

The SBC is awesome... except for when you have them all, and then start to get a craving for having Raditz, or Bardock, or SSJ3 Gotenks figures. O_o

Or green Vegeta's :D

Ok, I'll stop rubbing it in... especially since I don't have a camera >.<

I give them credit for uncurling Vegeta's tail, but his hair just looks so plastic. o_O

I really like the SBC figures. I have two of them.

Also, it may be me, but those figures just strike me as the type that kids will play with rather than the type teens and adults collect.

Oh they will. It says Dragonball Z on the box afterall lol.

But even the ones that teens and adults collect (Super Battle Collection) I was one of the kids who got his mom to buy some SBCs just so he could play with 'em. :lol:

That Super Battle Collection looked like the type kids would play with anyways. I meant more along the lines of the IF Labs figures that were made more for collectors.

If it says Dragonball Z on it, chances are, kids are going to be playing with it. :lol:

Yeah, I especially played with the IF Lab toys. You could make, like, every pose! And those blasters were fun as well. The only one I have that I only looked at, is a battle damaged 9" SS2 Gohan with his arm broken, so the only thing you can do, is move it around.

I have all forth-three Super Battle Collection figures. We must not forget that there was a Volume 00. I've gone back at times and almost rebought some of the Super Battle Collection figures that came with more then one head, that way I could display both version's at the same time. The only thing that stopped me was I didn't take them out of their box.

I don't know if a thread has been created yet over the Toy Fair this year, and after I'm done searching the rest of this place, if there isn't one, I'll make it. Because there they have the figures set up next to each other to give us all a better idea of their heights.

And if they flop they can just repaint them with the later colors that are used. One thing though, Vegeta is way too tall. Also, they have one of the coolest ideas ever coming out in August, Chibi Piccolo action figure!
I wouldn't hold my breath on that Chibi Piccolo. It doesn't explicitly say it's a kid version of Piccolo, and as for the image, look at SS Kid Goten

Damn you, and your Vol. 07 Super Vegeta! I've bought that thing twice from the net, and still never got it... it's a shame, cause it was my first ever SBC (I lost the one I had originally... oh well, it was '98 or so...)

I don't forget that one. Vol. 00!! kicks ass; what we shouldn't forget is that damned 3-pack. Only time I ever saw it on eBay, it was going for a buy-it-now at $250... it's a shame, cause I almost was able to buy it, and then someone bought it two days before I could... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Oi, the movie pack. That's one of the rarest ones out there...I just saw one on eBay as well. It's probably the rarest DB toy out there.

And I want it! :x
