Models

Post by Travis Touchdown » Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:51 am

Anybody remember those Dragon Ball Z models from ages back? No, not the endless supply of Japanese models, I mean that really short run of North American models, by... I think Irwin. They released, to my knowledge; Goku, SSJ Goku, Gohan, SSJ Gohan, Vegeta, SSJ Vegeta, Future Trunks, SSJ Future Trunks, Android 16, Perfect Cell, SSJ Kid Gohan, Tien, and Piccolo.

Anywho, you guys know where to find all the cool stuff. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a Vegeta, SSJ Kid Gohan, & Piccolo? I have them, but they have defects and it bugs me. No matter where I look, I manage to find every one of them EXCEPT these 3. Can anybody help me find them?

On another note, did anyone else buy these? They were a lot of fun to put together, in my humble opinion.

I remember those. I owned SSJ Trunks and Tenshinhan. They were pretty cool.

Indeed I have, and as with previous attempts, I can find every one of them except the ones I want.

Well mostly at least. I found a Piccolo the other day, but it was being sold along with a SSJ Vegeta, Tenshinhan, and Gohan. I didn't need the others because I don't have a problem with the ones I already own and don't want to spend the extra cash.

Wow, way to bring up a funny memory. I bought two of those models(I think it was Piccolo and Tenshinhan) for my friend on his birthday.They were like a dollar each or something and I had saved some money to get him a present. It turned out he was handing them away in his goody bag thing, I was really funny and kind of embarrassing at the same time. Luckily my mom had my back and gave my friend 10 bucks so I still looked good. :lol:
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

Good luck with Vegeta and SSJ Kid Gohan since I can't find those neither. But Amazon has Goku, while eBay has Goku, SSJ Goku, & Android 16 last time I checked.

The only one I had was Tenshinhan.

And he fell apart. :evil: And I, of course, lost all the pieces. :cry:
