Sorry, dude. I'm a college student, and looking at the prices even used copies of this have been going for, I just can't give it away for that little. I went back for the other one today and have listed it on eBay starting at $30, though: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :MESELX:IT.

I've also set it up for 10 percent of the profits to go to a Japan fund.

I got a really weird thing. I bought what I thought was Movie 4 on VHS. On the front it says Gokou vs. Lord Slug, and the back is all in Japanese. Inside was an unmarked VHS tape. I put it in, first to see an ad for some Squaresoft game, then I come to see Movie 3 (yes) fansubbed by S. Baldric Productions. It's really strange.

Sorry man but over here in the USofA we get sets for like $25.
You have to take into consideration the Anime industry in Region 4 compared to the Anime industry in Region 1. Anime just isn't as popular in Australia and New Zealand (expect for mainstream stuff, like Pokémon, which is pretty cheap here in the Great Southern Land). While in the States there's over 70 Anime conventions, to give an example.

Does anyone know if the U.S Shonen Jump is weekly or monthly, because I've been meaning pick up the 100th issue with 'Cross Epoch' and I haven't the chance to do so yet.

Yeah it's monthly, but issue #100 has been out for a while. I wouldn't wait too much longer to buy a copy.

Will be sure to check for this next time I go to a place that has Shonen Jump, my subscription ran out like a year ago, but issue #100 is something sorta special, but Cross Epoch is worth it.

Alright man, wish you the best of luck with getting a high price, if you change the shipping on it to worldwide (United Kingdom, that's if you don't mind shipping internationally), I'd bid my max of $40, but at the moment it only shows shipping to the USA.
I'm in university too, bieng skint is fun :roll:
Anyway good luck with it.
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 :)

I don't know who put that up there on eBay but seriously... Pull the sticker that says "7.99" off before you try to sell it to someone for 30...


Also, I GOT SOMETHING AWESOME TODAY!!

Don't think the price tag really affects anything. Might make the buyer a little mad though that you got it so cheap.

You really think that affects anything? I was worried about messing up the plastic wrap by pulling it off. I mean, people either know how rare it is or they don't. I can't imagine the price I got it for being a deterrent.

You'd be suprised on that, if you wanted my $37 I'd have felt sick about it, knowing that I'd given soo much more than what I could have paid had I been in the right place at the right time, but it's the same with buying figures, if you miss the window of opportunity, you loose out when you finally cave and buy them :roll:
Congrats on the Dragon Boxes DemonRin.
As far as latest purchase I just got two small figures on dragonballs SSJ3 Goku and Majin Buu, Rathios I was wondering do you know what they're from? They're tiny, even compared to the Legend of Saiyan.

So, all this came in the mail. One portion from Amazon(Double Features+Kai Part 4 Blu-rays) and the other from a member here (DVD Singles+Broly 2-Pack Blu-ray).

Not a big fan of the Double Features, but they do look decent on Blu-ray.

Wow. That's amazing. I just hope it didn't cost you nearly as much as it did me lol If I got all of that in one shot, I think I would have put myself in debt at the time.

Here they are, sorry for the bad quality, they work out at about $2 each, come from a gashapon machine in Japan, they got a set of nine or so they'd keep back for me.
