Yeah, good for you, but that was released in 2002, so you're like 12 years late to the 'party', but welcome. Oh, and they filled the disc with an entire hours worth of anime, but it's a last century technology DVD they used, unfortunately ;)

Don't forget that's like the only arc (regardless of being filler) that Son isn't the one to save everyone.

My comment on the anime included is not in regards to the actual anime on the disc. It's a mere statement that the company behind these discs had the courage to put an entire hour on a single DVD.........

But nevermind.........

I don't mind saying. I'm hoping I didn't get scammed though. A "Just Launched" seller put up a listing for Dbox 2 for $140. I debated on it, but after discovering Amazon's "A-Z Protection" I decided to try it out. Basically, if the product is not as described, never arrives, etc, etc. As long as I first try to sort it out with the seller, Amazon will refund my money.

So, I'm in it about $140.
Haha! You are literally the guy who nabbed it from this poor fellow!

I just found out about this....

FUCK.
The sale fell through, so don't feel too bad ;)

So basically I now have an entire DragonBall outfit. But I'd never dare wear all the items at the same time.:lol:.

Here are some Converse I got made.
Image

A New Era Snapback that I posted a while back.
Image

A Son Goku T-shirt.
Image

A hoodie I bought (I think it's based off of Son Goten's outfit).

And a Postal bag :)

Dragon Ball Daizenshu: TV Animation 3 & Movie
I'm mainly using the Daizenshuu for reference for a 2d RPG I'm working on, the anime is great but stills from "front, back, and left" idle poses helps out a lot especially when trying to keep on model"

Today's orders were:
* Dr. Slump - Cards
* Dragon Ball - Full Colour Vol. 02
* Dragon Ball Z - Fusion Reborn

And here's what I've done with the Dragon Ball GT boxes -- used them for the Dragon Ball Z Singles, and for the 2 TV-Specials that's a Naruto 2-disc box which came in handy too.

Would you mind photographing the table of contents? I've been collecting Toriyama comments from all his one-shots and short series, but unfortunately, most of the issues of Fresh Jump at the Osaka Prefectural Central Library were missing that page. I'm curious about the comments from both Toriyama and Akira Sakuma (Toriyama's collaborator with the Hetappi Manga Kenkyūjō). Oh, and the next issue preview, too, if possible. If memory serves, issues came out on the 22nd or 23rd of the month and were post-dated by two months (like the later V-Jump), but I'd appreciate being able to confirm.

EDIT:
OK; I got too excited, and neglected to click the link. You mean that it's a fresh copy of Weekly Jump, don't you?
In that case, could you please check which chapter of Dr. Slump was in there, as well?

Dragon Ball Z - Season 7 of 9

Image

Dunno if it comes with the booklet but it'd be nice if it did, but besides that, FUNimation could've used Gohan the Great Saiyaman instead of Piccolo for the seventh "season".

I plan on getting the other last two and that's it of Orange Bricks for me.

A small pamphlet about an Earth conservation project. It contains Oishii Shima no Ū-sama, a short manga that Toriyama did to help promote it, as well as other illustrations using the manga's characters to explain the other parts of the book's project information.

I can't tell you more than that. There is some interesting looking stuff inside though, but I have no actual idea what is going on since I don't read Japanese. This is one reason why I kinda wish Kanzanshuu was more lenient on posting Toriyama work topics that aren't exactly related to Dragon Ball. As I don't know where else to go to get more information on something so obscure. Especially not from a knowledgeable and reliable source, like our favorite staff members handle the Dragon Ball related information.

That Biosphere booklet is so cool! If you go here: http://npo.2030.jp/education/ and click around you can find some more info and pics.

I searched for it for years, even emailing the program to see if they would sell one internationally. Finally I found someone selling a copy on eBay! The seller mentioned that this is a rare case of Toriyama published outside of Shueisha.
