Where does everyone buy these DBZ figures/collectibles from?

Post by extrafuzzyllama » Thu Dec 30, 2010 4:44 pm

Hi all. I am not new to DBZ but I am new to buying DBZ merchandise.
I finally got a steady job with school and everything and can finally buy some DBZ stuff.

Last year was my real only DBZ purchase besides DBZ boxes.
It was all the daizenshuu books minus the 7th book.

But I really would like some of those high quality/detailed figures but I have no idea where to look, or guides on fakes from real ones and which brands to buy from.

Any help would be really appreciated.

www.angolz.com
Angolz is a pretty great place to buy figures. Also Hobby Link Japan.

I get my stuff from:

Mandrake
AmiAmi
Angolz
HobbyLink japan
CDJapan
YahooJapan Auctions (You’ll need to use a shopping service. There’s hundreds out there with different rates so just google.)
Amazon Japan (Again, you’ll need to use a shopping service)
eBay (watch out for bootlegs)
Other figure collectors at MyFigureCollection (you’ll need an account, however)

Hope that helped.

I get most of my DB stuff from Bigbadtoystore, Mandrake, and HobbyLink Japan. I only shop on eBay if I'm desperate.

I shop on Ebay for gashapon, minifigures and a few HSCF.
I get my HQDX from trusted Ebay sellers. The newest Banpresto Legend of Saiyan figures I got from Angolz and Hobby Link Japan, since Ebay prices are ludicrous for those.
Um, also try bigbadtoystore.

Check out "Mikes upcoming JPNS toy releases thread" for more info figures and what to look for/ where to buy, also look here: http://www.dragonballtoys.proboards.com ... &thread=19

I also mainly use Hobby Link Japan, but it's worth noting that things can go to "discontinued" on there quite quickly at times, so they're not a great place to get old items from.

It depends. I see DBZ action figures at Rite-Aid, Toy's R' Us, Tuesday Morning, and even at Ace Hardware during the Christmas Season. Oh, and Hastings. But like Raithos said ebay is a good option. But this is in the United States.
