Heh heh heh...what lies do you tell him?

I've told him so many lies I can't even keep track of them anymore. But here are a few I tell him regularly:

-Goku and Krillin are brothers.
-Goku and Bulma used to date but Bulma thought Goku was too stupid to be the perfect boyfriend and she dumped him.
-Chichi forced Goku to marry her (half true).
-Master Roshi is Goku and Krillin's father.
-Roshi used to be as powerful as Vegeta but the Demon lord Piccolo stole his powers. Now he's just a normal old man.

I also tell him lies about future episodes as well, my personal favorite:

-Goku gets possessed by a powerful ancient demon and kills everyone on Earth except for Vegeta. Vegeta, without anyones help, defeats Goku for the first time.

-Goku and Bulma are hot for each other.
-Krillin is a kid.
-Freeza and Seru are brothers.
-Broly is weaker than Bojack.

Just received this today:

Now I FINALLY have all 24 Hybrid figures. Tracking down the SS4 Goku for a reasonable price was quite a long and daunting task.

Now that you have it all... ask yourself. Was it really worth all that trouble to get a Hybrid action figure?

Well, I quite like the Hybrid Figure line actually. Aside from their fragility and the fact that Bandai ended the line prematurely, they are still some very nicely articulated and detailed figures.

Ordered Dbox #2 off of Amazon since I heard about the scarcity thing. Dashing through the last disc of the last set since I didn't want to start a new arc before getting the next part of it.
