Just got these doujinshi in the mail today. They were only £10 for the lot, so I grabbed them.

I got two boxes of these in the mail today.

I managed to avoid getting two gold versions of the same figure this time. Overall the set is good and offers a nice variety. Getting the door on the car figure was pretty difficult though.

And the spares..

I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

Nice pickups Chibi...

I swear if I get a gold Semi Pefect Cell/Vegeta, Android 18/ Kuririn, or Imperfect Cell or SSJ Gohan/SSJ Goku father-son kamehameha, I'm going to be oh so pissed :|
Otaku at heart.

whats up guys, its big ass box from japan time again! ;D

heres what i got this time...

first off, the box.
Image

the group shot...
Image

Krillin, yajirobe, super saiyajin vegeta vinyl's. The yajirobe and krillin i really wanted, the vegeta was more of an impulse buy. I just need every vegeta figure i see, even if they suck.
Image
Image

next up we've got series 2 and 3 of the dragonball dwc figures along with an extra super 3 vegeta hscf. The vegeta was virtually retail so i figured why not pick up another.
Image

megahouse desktop real McCoy Gokou and medicom child gokou.
Image

Custom chichi figure with a few random megahouse figures...
Image
Image

The two remaining DVD diorama parts i needed. I'm beyond stoked to have the whole thing now , i cant wait to throw it together. I cant believe its going to be 2 and a half feet tall once assembled.
Image
Image

and last but certainly not least... LIMITED 1 OF 100 MANGA COLOR EDITION ICHIBAN KUJI PRIZE BULMA, AND MINE JUST HAPPENS TO BE EXACTLY 50 OF 100. I am damn excited to have this in my collection, hunting limited Kuji's is a royal pain in the ass.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Ill get comparison picks of the two Bulmas next to each other when i get a chance to dig through my boxes and find the other one. I'm still waiting on my display cases so everythings packed away.

I wish I did dude... My friend just finds them in hobby shops being sold on consignment. It would be awesome to know one of the actual customizers. I can think of a few awesome ones I'd like to have made...

Just got the 'triple feature' of the three Broly movies which completes my collection of the remastered DBZ movies, plus the specials. :D Gonna have a massive marathon of them this Christmas before I continue my quest to purchase all of the series (minus GT). Oddly enough, the guy at the register was also a Dragon Ball fan and asked if I'd seen 'Super Android 13'. :)

Me too, I always wanted to learn how to sculpt so I can create my own figures. I know the first thing I'll create... A statue of Goku scratching the back of his head with a wide grin on his face! And then most likely I'll create lewd figures of Chichi.

With the whole financial situation in the U.S right now I decided it was a good time to import some Dragon Ball crap. But before I do I have one question:
- Can I use my Amazon UK account on Amazon.com?

I'm spending a fortune on the 5 CD Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshū, the official Columbia Records release from 94'. I saw it on eBay and I fought to its bloody end to get it!
I'm happy and sad. Sad, because I won't be spending or going out much for the next two weeks, lol!
But still, I've wanted this release for the last seven years. Always coming close or the one time I got tricked with a Son May knock-off!

...Now I just need to find the 13-CD collection cheap. Or a little less than 200!

LOL! You're referring to the one that ended at $178.50 about an hour ago, right? I was on the page 'til the very end. I was seriously considering on scooping it up at the last second, but decided not to because I would of had to stretch eight dollars all the way to 11th of August. :(
