Oh, and I hope to win myself this off Trademe:

Yeah, I know they're the 'Orange Bricks', but the current price is dirt cheap and I only own a small portion of 'Z; and the first half of Kai.
Where did you get this, how much was it, and what region?

Ha, ha! It's not mine....yet.

Anyway, to answer everyone's questions:
This is a Region 4 Box Set put out by Madman in New Zealand and Australia. There have been two limited printings of the set so far and it's a pretty good deal. In NZ each individual season set costs around $50-$60 and this box normally retails for around $350-$400, so you're saving yourself a fair bit of money, but the user that has put this up on Trademe is selling it for only $50. :shock:
The artwork on the box is pretty fucking spectacular as well. :mrgreen: On the first printing it had that classic shot of Gogeta, Gotenks, Piccolo, and "Mystic" (Don't know what else to call him) Gohan, but it has since been replaced by more appropriate artwork.

For those who haven't read the last page, the item in question is this thing here:

I'd say! :shock: Wow dude, that's awesome! I'd love to get my hands on that for $50! :lol:

Wow, $50? To think, I paid more than that for just one of my season sets.... ah, the days before I became internet savvy. :?

Heck, poor quality aside, it's almost worst spending $50 just for that awesome box!

Dude, all 9 Season Sets for $50 nearly negates the bad video quality; I can put aside washed out colors and cropping (Though not so much motion blur and line loss...) for that price. Their niche as it is is cheap DragonBall, smaller cases and a kickass box is like... wow.

My eyes would never even touch an orange brick. The quality is really that bad. However the box art on that set is simply amazing. Horrific quality aside, $50 is a steal.

Bare in mind guys, the regular retail price is nearly $400 for this set, this guy is only selling it for $50, and I'm sure the bids are gonna sky rocket to at least $200 in the closing minutes.
This is NZ money by the way, so...
RRP for this set in U.S money is about: $262-$300
The price this guy is selling it for in US dollars: $37

those statues are incredible tho! I just bought an AMAZING SS Trunks statue, I can't wait to get it! :shock: :D :shock:

Woah!!! Insanely awesome. Look at that hair, magnificent!!!

But it really is expensive. (TT-TT)

Auction photos, no idea where my camera is. The larger one is 18cm/7inches tall, the other one is the same figure as posted last page, but not pearly.

I also have Freeza's leg, that came with 18. Hooray?

I got it randomly with that Prince Vegeta, but I know of here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Banpresto-Dragon-Ba ... 4aa8525843

I don't know of anywhere else really, it's part of the Ichiban Kuji line, so search for Ichiban 18, android 18 ichiban etc...
Otaku at heart.

OH! That's actually pretty awesome! I've been wanting the Ocean dub movies but specifically wanted the Box.
Glad it looks cool, might try and track it down.
