Dude nice trix box! Haha no, I've been looking at those big boxes and wanting one bad Giant ape Vegeta looks awesome.
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

I definitely use the wrong thing for size comparisons.. but everyone knows how big a box of cereal is T.T That shenron is AMAZING and they were 3,000 yen each it was the shipping that kicked my ass ><

*EDIT* to commemorate my package getting here fx decided to play dragon ball evolution in my honor. I've never seen it before and so far I am sort of horrified...

There is virtually no difference between a superfamicon and a snes when it comes to playing the game so there isn't a need to have both is there?

I got mine here, should still be in stock. If not there's some sellers on Amazon with it for $60ish. Still looking for 2 myself though. :(

If you want to play Super Famicom cartridges, you do.

No you don't. You just clip the two hinges where you load the cartridges and boom, you got yourself a universal SNES!
Back when "modding" was so simple, lol!
I did this many, many years ago.

My eyes bugged out when I saw how expensive Dragon Box 2 is. At least I know where I can snatch up 3 and 4 for cheap though!

I need to get me one of those pimp Piccolo SCultures. However, I am curious about something. Almost all of the images I have seen of the figure out of the box show the fingers on his extended hand bending backwards. Is this something that can be corrected somehow, or are the fingers too fragile to try to bend back in place?

Because of the way he's placed in the box his fingers are jammed backwards until you open it. I just bend the fingers forward as much as I can until the fingers retract into an outstretched open hand. The hand will always have the fingers in the open palm position though, the most you can do is bend the fingers forward
Otaku at heart.
