Everything else came from YahooJapan auctions.

What did you search to find the world collection figures?
Thanks
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)

For ebay:
Dragonball DWC or Dragonball World Collectable. If you go here and click on "only show items" under Location and choose worldwide you'll get more items.

For YahooJapan Autions:  ドラゴンボール ワールドコレクタブルフィギュア
You will have to use a shopping service for YHJ as most sellers don't ship outside Japan. I personally use http://www.sosjapan.com

I hope that was of some help. If you have any other questions, I would be more than happy to help.

DBZ bootlegs have the movie 9 cover with the pioneer movie 2 description on the back and the disc actually has a Japanese soap opera in MEPG2. :roll:

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Sure.
Okay, from what I can make out (I can’t read Japanese yet – I just buy doujinshi for the art), it’s an original romance story of Vegeta and a female human (pretty sure she’s a human- she doesn’t have a tail anyway) the author has made up. It also features some original Saiyan characters. It bounces between past and present. There is some suggestive imagery, but nothing overly explicit. The art is quite lovely.
It’s … not quite what I was expecting when I bought it, the cover is fairy misleading I must say. I thought it would have an action theme rather than romance.
Overal, it’s a fairly decent doujin - if you can find it cheap it may be worth picking up. I got it from here, they might restock it.

The Lunatic! and Tenshinhan/Lunch have pretty cool cover art. I got a laugh out of the "Lunch Box" and "Lunatic" titles because for some reason I said "Lunch Box Lunatic" in my mind as I read them. :P

Though now I realize there are some Japanese characters in front of the title of the former.

(Actually, they're both Videl)

Irohani has a GohanXVidel story, a TrunksXTeenage!Pan story and a Futa!18XVidelXTrunks story.
Y has a GohanXVidel story, a TomaXSeripa and a Futa!18XVidel story.

The full title is Miracle Lunch Box if you're curious. It's one of my favourites, actually.
Admittedly, I mainly bought LUNATIC! for the pretty cover art.

By any chance, do those happen to be officially licensed? Just curious.

The doujinshi? No. Doujinshi is simply fan manga, much like Dragonball Multiverse. It's not official at all.

Thanks, I found that out when I looked at the link you provided actually. That's a neat store. I was surprised to see they had some issues of Head Cha La.

I really woudn't know.
Kinda going off topic now.
Holy crap, look at the amount of times I've replied to this thread. Because of one post. Amusing.

Head Cha La is a very popular dojin, so not too surprising. I should get my hands on a couple of volumes at some point.

Oh, I knew it was more popular, but for some reason I thought it was hard to find. Maybe because whenever I see one on ebay one issue is like $30 or more.

Nah, that's just ebay for you. Always jacking up prices way too much. I've seen easy to find doujin going for $60+
It's ridiculous.

Happy birthday, by the way.
