Well, I managed to score some good DragonBall stuff at Otakon. My sister actually dropped and broke our digital camera (no big loss, it was an outdated, bottom-of-the-line piece of crap anyway; time to upgrade!), so no pics at this time. But a short list...

DVDs

- The Slug and Cooler movies box set.

- The Trunks special (They had a copy of Bardock, but they'd sold it by the time I got there. But they have copies for cheap on their website! I'm not telling what it is until I've got my copy safely and securely ordered, though! :P)

Figures

- Series 1 Trunks, SSj Goku, and Freeza from Irwin. They're pretty old. Are they worth anything? Should I take them outta the box?

- Japanese Hybrid Action "Super Saiyan Son Gokou" poseable figure. Little Goku figure with poseable and removeable parts; very nicely crafted and painted, and comes with a little display stand. Him I DID take out of the box. He's going on display on my shelf.


Games

I picked up Jump Ultimate Stars! I've started looking at guides on GameFAQs. I'll hopefully manage to figure out how to play and be up for WiFi before TOO long...


Also, this one booth had ALL the Kanzenban for sale, except for volumes 1 and 2. I didn't stumble across those until this morning, when I was already out of money.

Also to add to my collection, during the weekend i went to a Japan Expo, and bought the Dragonball z Landmark and Forever books. :D
Just another Dragon Ball fangirl in the world.

DB & Tiger and Bunny are my main fandoms, along with many other animes.

Ever since I got my new camera, I've been goin' crazy! :shock: Here's some of my stuff...

Image
He looks like he's jacked up on steroids or something... eww... creepy... it's not nice sleeping in the same room as that thing... :shock:

Image
This thing really flies! I SWEAR! Look, I'm not touching it at all... it REALLY flies! I'm not kidding! :shock:

Image
I bet none of you have this... or the bed cover for that matter. :)

Image
Err... I can't be bothered to take close-ups of the collection, so... whatever...

(oh my god, what are those two big marks on the mirror? Never noticed them before...)

*Cleans mirror*

I no longer have any qualms about opening the new merchandise and giving it away... I'm not an obsessive fan anymore, just someone who enjoys Dragonball with his brother now and then. I think what's kept my liking alive is this forum, and all the interesting people in it.

Yeah, you can open him up and look inside-

Wait, I think I'll do just that. :wink:

Ladies and gentlemen, I posses the rarest Dragonball toy in history...
Image

...the 'Filler Worm'. I think I can remember it talking at some point during the show... :? And if I remember correctly, they were pretty friendly. It's a shame that they got killed when Buu got blown up. But hey, maybe they were reincarnated as part of Uub's body. :P (most pointless talk ever)

Image

Inside Buu. He's got whole, undigested cake slices down there... Hope he doesn't get heartburn or anything. :?

Image
Haha, Gotenks and Vegito have been absorbed... (damn, it's hard pulling those toys out of the membrane thingy :shock: )

I remember that! It HAS to be the Rarest Dragonball toy in history, because I have not seen any of them in about, 2 years. :oops:
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Check out these super-awesome SPECIAL EDITION cards! I spent hundreds of pounds on these as an over-excited fan all those years ago...

Image

Funny ones:
  • -Evil Gobum (don't ask me... :| )

    -Zolee (once again, don't ask me...)

    -Namek (okay, they were on crack when they thought up all these)
What I don't understand is why they call normal form Goku 'Goku', but SS4 Goku 'Kakkorot'. Wait- I know, when he transforms he turns into 'Kakkorot!'It all makes sense now...

Hahaha. Those cards are all messed up. They think that Master Roshi is Dr. Briefs, they call Freeza "Namek", and they use kid Goku pictures for Gohan. This is disgusting.

EDIT: Wait a second... They're basically all messed up. Tapion= Android 15? WTF?
