Dan, no. We don't have to pay import or customs fees here in the US on packages from other countries. Shipping on this package was about 160 usd but , there was also a ichiban Kuji vegeta oozaru and a kid vegeta in there for my friend. If you're familiar with the vegeta oozaru; you know it's huge. So 160 to ship all of that really isn't too bad.

How can you be Jealous of that haul? If it had a really cool custom figure in it i might be jealous but not of that haul I'm not impressed at all, and why would you want an mp3 Dragon Radar that only has 128 MBS of space on it? I think thats a waste of Money unless you bought it to sell on Ebay for a profit. Sorry for my vicious rant but I'm not looking for things for my collection that were cool 10 years ago I'm getting things that will never die in awesomeness. Good Luck with your collection I'll post my posters soon and I'm changing my Wall Scroll Gallery again very soon.

The whole point of being a collector is to collect anything. It doesn't matter if it's not that "awesome", it's just part of an on-going collection. :)

If thats the point of a Collector how could i even define myself and what my collection is after it's complete?. Since it seems this website only praises figure collectors (or atleast seems that way) not those that collect outside of figures.

It's not that we only praise figure collectors, it's just that a few of us on here really like the figure collecting aspect of it and generally find that more interesting than wall scrolls etc. I'm not saying figures are the only part of collecting, clearly they are not (hell I still want all the Dragon Boxes), but it plays a large part of it and a lot of people enjoy posting pictures and sharing news of new figures.

There's just a lot of us that love figures. I would love to collect wallscrolls if they weren't so expensive. I'm not saying that buying rare figures arn't expensive either, but they're worth it to me. $30 for 1 wallscroll seems outrageous to me unless it's amazing (such as the one wallscroll I purchased recently of Goku.) Truth is, if there were more amazing looking wallscrolls out there, I would definitly purchase them if the price was reasonable to me. You for example have some amazing wallscrolls that I would love to have, but my cap on wallscrolls is about $15 for each. The tall Goku wallscroll I have was the exception.

People like different things. If you don't want "things that were cool 10 years ago", then ... don't buy such things?
Isn't that the point of collecting things, because you like them? Heck, I like collecting doujinshi. People constantly ask me what's the point when I can't even read the language, but I collect simply because I enjoy them.
Even though that Dragon Rader MP3 hasn't got much memory, it's still cool to look at, in my opinion.

Some wallscroll are nice, but I agree with the price thing ... the only time I would buy a $30+ wallscroll if it had an awesome picture of Tulluce or an Oozaru.

Easy killer... No need to bash others for their opinions. Not impressed by my lot? That's fine, but don't nit pick at it. You really think I bought that dragonradar because of it's amazing ability to play back mp3's? Yeah not so much. We got these things now , they start with I and are followed by pad, phone, and pod. That was purchased because it's a unique little fun item. Oh and you'd be impressed if the lot had a custom figure in it or something that would "never die in awesomeness"? Well ... When I posted that custom videl from my last haul I believe all you had to say was "I don't think this site supports xxx rated photos like that" and not a word about the oozaru. I'm pretty sure that the fact that there are 20 of them in the world ensures it's spot in the "never die in awesomeness" category.
Listen I'm not trying to flame you up but, you don't see me up in your wall scroll thread like "bro you don't have a custom scroll in here, this shits weak." so just give me and my toy collecting brethren the same courtesy , okay? Cool.

That goes without saying. In this case its figures, I'm assuming dbzwish is a general merchandise collector.

this one was a steal tho! I'm not a hardcore Broly fan, I'm really not, but I know that the figures are very rare and bring in a pretty penny when you try to sell em. That's why, when and IF, one comes along, Ill try and buy it. And yes, it's my 4th. Id do the same with Omega Shenron, Nova Shenron, ANY of the Bardock figures, Super Monkey Bebi, etc..... I know most collectors would do the same
