I just need to find Volume 6 at a good price, and buy the last 2 DX figures when they come out. I ordered the Trunks and Vegeta from Angolz at the beginning of the month... Still waiting for that. :(
Excellent!!!
Just wait for 6 and Vol 4 DX from Angolz. They take mad long to ship/deliver but the prices are excellent (as you know).

I don't think Tarble will ever get his chance to be in the LoS line. :(

Yeah... you see, I ordered sets 4 and 5 together from Angolz and EMSed the whole thing. Got to my house in 3 days. :D

Though EMS is only really good when you're ordering multiple items, otherwise the cost isn't worth it.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

Got these over the past couple of days.

I picked up the Evolution DVD at Wal-Mart today since it was $5 and I thought, "Oh, why not." It'll go nicely with the other DB DVDs in my collection even if I can't sit through the movie. :lol:

I also finally got around to picking up the last two Viz Big volumes. So after thirteen long years I finally own all of Dragon Ball. Kinda neat yet bittersweet, I think.

I know this isn't nearly as astounding as other peoples' collection of Dragon Ball products, but owning this with Yamamoto's score intact makes me think of myself as a pretty lucky bastard.

My most recent Dragon Ball purchase... and it hurts me like hell because it's $800, but I KNOW that it's practically a steal... So far THIS and the Japanese manga are my proudest purchase of the series ever...

Image

Well what can be said? At least now I don't give two dog droppings if they release a domestic Dragon Ball Dragon Box. However... I'd still get it even if they did -_-
Sad news for my bank account, but hell, it makes me ecstatic to say... hopefully... MORE TO COME! :-D

Alright, here are some photos I took of the baby Goku and spaceship set. I wasn’t originally going to take that many snaps, as Sshadow5001 already provided some very nice photos … but as usual, I got a bit carried away.

Excuse the washed out colours of some of these photos. Some idiot “borrowed” my camera and fucked about with the settings, I haven’t fixed them yet. WHY do people do this? Assholes </rant>
Image
So here it is! I’ll admit this was a complete impulse buy, after seeing Sshadow5001s photos, but I’m so glad I bought it.
Image
The seller stated this set was new and unopened, but that’s clearly not the case. It’s a little dirty and a bit … greasy? I’ll give it a good scrub later.

The pod also makes a nice ship for Busou Shinki figures:
Image
(You can see some of the dirtiness more on this photo).

Itty bitty Goku:
ImageImageImage

Size comparison:
Image
He’s about the same size of a standard Nendoroid.

Image
I just like this photo, despite the colour being washed out. =V

I want to buy another one, so I can customize the pod to look aged and old.

The LoS are a mix of dark undertones with heavy shading, contrasted with bright metallic colours. It's meant to give it that shiny look that makes you go Oooo ahhhh.

@ Star: nice pick up of the Ichiban Kuji Goku Saiyan Capsule, I'm considering getting one myself...

Also gotta get me a Panty and Stocking Nendoroid, but they're so damn expensive...

You'd need to find a giant Bardock to hold that baby. =D

Get it! You won't regret it.
As for the Nendoroids, I advise stalking Mandarake, that's where I got that Snow Miku for a cool £40 rather than the £80-£100 eBay try to sell it for.
Or you could pre-order them here, quite a decent price:

Speaking of which, they should make DB Nendos. I'd buy a ChiChi or Zangya Nendo in a heartbeat. The male characters probably wouldn't look too good, but they have enough figures anyway.

I don't know what these things are you're talking about, but a Zangya figure would be great. Only thing she has released is an old little 1" thing, I think. That, and I found a giant expensive statue of her and Bojack (and Bido and Gokua on another statue).

Ah, a Nendoroid is basically a chibi styled figure. They're very cute.
You can see a bunch of them here.
Yes, I would love to see more figures of Zangya (and the rest of Bojacks posse).

...meh. That's too chibi styled for my liking.

A LoS type set of the Bojack crew would be great. Dunno...

I hate you. :P The statues this seller has are awesome. I'd have to sell my soul to afford them though. That Trunks is epic.

Here's Zangya and Bojack.

And here's Bido and Bujin. I was mistaken, I thought there was a Gokua in there... they're missing one. :x Bastards.

If anyone wants to be a super cool guy and buy me Zangya and Bojack, I will happily be your slave for a week. You pay for the bus ticket. =P

No problem, AmiAmi is the best place for ordering figures, in my opinion, particularly for Nendos. Other shops like to overprice them a lot. It's sad they don't really stock DB stuff.
Gonna get those two at some point, but I’ve ordered this bad girl for the moment.
