It flows precisely and fluidly from where things left off in the aftermath of the 23rd Budokai and mostly hits the ground running from there without really stopping to look back. You're plopping someone into the middle of a book starting at chapter 195 out of 519 for absolutely no good goddamn reason, with very minimal opportunity to look back at much needed context and character/story growth.

In the back you back see the poster my girlfriend made me when she asked me to prom, it talks about how I'm her one wish for the Dragon balls to grand. (We asked each other at the exact same time) There is a Goku, Krillin, Piccolo, Roshi, etc. Each figure has sentimental value in someway.
You're a lucky man. It's amazing that a girl made you a promposal (that probably won't happen to me you lucky guy) and it's even more amazing that she made a DB one for you. Since I'm clearly never going to have a girlfriend who appreciates DB I'm glad some people are able to have that.

$599.99, which was a pretty good deal considering they usually go for something like $1000! How much did you pay?

Ooo nice. $670 (used, like new condition) but they come with DB Blue Brick Season 1 and four of the DBZ two pack movie blu rays...so I came out pretty good too!

Niiiice.
I'll never forget finding the last 3 sets in a pawn shop for $8 (Canadian) each. I am
never that lucky.

Though I'll never see the first four, that's for sure.

Definitely not as nice as yours, but for the price I can't complain.

They have some small nicks and tears on the outer boxes (and unfortunately there were price stickers put on the box that were impossible to get off without some minor damage) but everything inside is mostly in great shape.
I'm gonna be on the hunt for a miracle deal on boxes 1-4 for the rest of my life, though nobody's
that lucky.

Can't edit else I would've. Goodness, it just hit me how much I spent on them and I feel a little woozy now, haha. Anyone else spend a small fortune on these things or did most get them on release?

I prefer Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, DB/Z/GT Movies, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT in Japanese.
For DBZ Kai and two new Movies I like both Dub and Sub. I Prefer Shunsuke Kikuchi Soundtracks over All other Composers.

Behold, the strongest warriors in the universe!
I'm trying not to make a habit of collecting too many Funko POPs, but I couldn't resist one of my favorite Dragon Ball characters and my favorite wrestler, the legendary Iron Sheik! I traded a Jason Voorhees Glow Chase and a Weaponized Rick Chase variant for them, and I'm super stoked!
This is the episode of when Gokuh enrages himself after Freezer talk shit about Kuririn

Decided to post a picture of my old and new Collection
Of BR/DVDs and figures (other stuff I own not pictured or on order) This display is temporary though I'll move this stuff because my cats will get mad.
As you can see I have some of the original singles on DVD but back in the day I wasn't really trying to collect the whole series. Now I think I will eventually get all of Z BR too.
The Future Trunks & SSJ Goten and Trunks were crappy figures I picked up probably at K-Mart about 17 years ago. I also had a cheap SSJ Vegeta in his Buu outfit but I seemed to have lost that. Oh well I guess I am not lacking in Vegeta figures.

I finally had the will to put my posters on my room's wall! The photo doesn't do justice to it, but I'm very proud of the result. I'll definitely expand it in the future.
Oh, and Super is finally getting some merchandise here in pizza land!
The first one is a sticker album by Panini. The logo in it's back it's very cool.

[/spoiler]
Second one is this seemingly bootleg collection of chibi figures (taken directly from the
UDM Burst gashapon collection). Better than nothing. Nice Broli by the way.
