I only have one thing WORTH showing off (because getting it is kinda hard).
This is Issue 36-37 of 1992 of Weekly Jump. Back when Jump was 200 yen instead of 240 yen.
The cover:
DB chapter title page:
DB chapter has color:
Now, you know how some chapters were full color? The first 3 pages got great color. Here is how the rest of the chapter looked:
Now what makes me proud to have this issue? 2 chapters:

For all those curious as to when Trunks' backstory was shown, you now know.
Color:
That is all.

Yeah, that was kinda strange when I saw them in the kanzenban, too. Those were the days when SJ couldn't spare color for more than a few pages. I mean, the later manga don't do any of that grayscale/color meshing kind of thing (at least I
think they don't)

Holy.....Shit.
Where the hell did you get your hands on that? I haven't even found issues of Weekly Jump with DB chapters on Yahoo Auctions Japan!
Also, tomorrow I'll post all of my Christmas presents (straight out of my LiveJournal page

). It'll be great!

Oh yes. Christmas. I'll be getting more crap on Boxing Day and in the mail, but for now:

I've started playing. Amazing. I'm still getting used to it, but it really plays like a DS SSB.

It is about 190x more beautiful when it's in your hands.

Yellow hair=the pwn.
And, last but not least.

Yeah. Gold tag and all. That is rare.

Now, I must learn Japanese!
Anyone else get presents?
BTW, all my cool presents are in my Live Journal:

Nope; I have to decide what I want first.

I did win all the Daizenshuu 3 weeks ago, though. Best birthday ever.

I have a few action figures. A Vegeta, Vegetto, SSJ Vegetto, and a Brolly somewhere. And a video or two.

Okay guys. I finally got the equipment to put these pictures up online. I want to set this up as a Dragonball episode... This will be fun.
Intro: Dragonball Manga
DragonBall Games
Some Filler
Eye Catcher
Various FUNi releases (1)
Various FUNi releases (2)
Eye Catcher
Last but not least, my
dragonboxes. Jealous?

Insert a copy of Final Bout, Buu's Fury, Budokai 2 for the GC, and DBZ vol.1.. I didn't get them in the pictures for various reasons. Yes, those are two Jump Ultimate Stars and DragonBall Z Legends. I also wanted to show my spiffy DS and every Zelda game. Feedback people

You can call me Rick because I'm not actually Piccolo.
I missed out on all of the DB Movie fun, huh?[quote]Point blank: it's gonna suck if you want it to. Personally, I'm seeing it as a comedy.[/quote][/size]

Woah, people still get DragonBall stuff for Christmas? Those are some pretty sweet gifts, you've got there. I haven't seen an SBC figure in quite some time...
My DB gifts were kanzentai 26, 27, 32, and 34. Ya gotta love having a sister in NY who can get you stuff from Book Off

Oh yeah, I got BT2/Sparking! NEO for my Wii as my DB Christmas gift!
Otherwise, I've been meaning to gather all my DB stuff again, and take an updated picture. So... expect that within a few days.
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

I didn't get any DB-related gifts... or anime-related for that matter. :/ (Well, I did buy myself the new "Black Cat" DVD). I did however buy my little brother Jump Ultimate Stars so he can fight me and play with me on Wi-Fi! He was pretty stoked!
You guys have gotten and are showing off some impressive DB stuff. I keep bugging my dad for his camera so I can post some of my stuff but to no avail... Y_Y

Since when do you have the Dragonboxes, do you realize how rare and expensive those are? You sure they're not just bootlegs? And by the way, that pic could be a lot smaller for us dial-up users. o_o
At the moment, I'm just gonna proudly announce my collections of all the DBZ movies and every North American DBZ Ps2 release.
(Ps1 releases of DragonBall Z Ultimate Battle 22 and DragonBall GT Final Bout [re-release])
DragonBall Z Budokai
DragonBall Z Budokai 2
DragonBall Z Budokai 3
DragonBall Z Sagas
DragonBall Z Budokai Tenkaichi
DragonBall Z Budokai 3 Greatest Hits
Super DragonBall Z
DragonBall Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2

I picked up the Wii version of Budokai Tenkaichi 2. It's actually a helluva lot more fun on the Wii than it is on PS2. o_o Though it still carried over the odd quirks that bugged the crap out of us all. >_>
And...I think I've broke down. I need to come up with some money to finish school, so I think I'll end up selling my Daizenshuu collection as well as most of my FUNimation DVDs.

They're books 1 through 5. I'll probably end up putting them up on eBay or something.

Pfft, who cares. That's just stupid worthless garbage. Look, the quality is so bad. I can't believe you actually keep that piece of crap around. And it only has 2 Dragon Ball chapters in it, the Kanzenban are better quality and have like 15 chapters in them...
...yep, the only reasonable thing to do here is to give it to me. I'll gladly take this garbage off your hands (free of charge) and dispose of it properly.
Seriously, though, I want that fucking book. I'll pay double, nay,
triple what it's worth! 600 yen! You can buy a PS3 with that. Incredible! You're getting a bargain here! You can't lose! Sell it to me now!
PS: Why is there an ad for pantyhose in Weekly Shounen Jump...?

I lol'd!
Honestly EvilGamerX, where did you get that thing? I've NEVER seen anyone anywhere own that thing, even on those Japanese forums where they post their "UBER, WAY BETTER THAN OURS" collections. Did you get it off of Yahoo Auctions? eBay? Drug dealer? Do tell! I'll give you 1000 yen! 5x the worth of that issue! *goes Marlon Brando* I'm making you an offer you can't refuse.
