A Dragonball Christmas

Post by samuraix123 » Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:36 pm

Hello! I've had this topic on my mind all day! I hope VegettoEX will allow me to keep this topic open. So I wan't to know about your Dragonball Christmas stories. what were your gifts and such. So I'll start off with mine.

I remember along time ago when I was younger, I woke up on Christmas morning. And we all had dinner and watched the classic movie, A Christmas story(you'll shoot your eye out kid :lol: )
Then The Presents! I was so Excited :) My first Gift that I opened up was a box that had a-lot of Dragonball Z VHS tapes! I was like yes! :lol: Then my Grandfather got me this piccolo toy, And said. *here this is the only Gohan toy I could find* :lol: Thanks gramps.(He called everyone Gohan :lol: )
Then my mom got me this huge Dragonball Z bed sheets and stuff. This is what it looked like.
Image I Freaking loved that! And that's about it. So please share your stories and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas And a Happy new year

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

When I was little, I got a SSJ Trunks figure. I think he was wearing his Movie 8 outfit. I played with it all the time.

I had Pokemon bed sheets, they're gone now, dunno where.

Wish I had those DBZ Bed Sheets they'd stay in its bag sealed, though. :P

Christmas 08. My brother gave me a copy of SSW2 on DS and lent me the first four OB's. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't be on this forum right now.

I remember back in the early 2000's I'd always ask for DBZ figures for Xmas.

Was always a joy to receive them on Xmas morning.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

This year will be my first true Dragonball Christmas - I'm getting all 42 volumes of the manga as my present. But when I was younger I had gotten some of the games/toys at Christmas.

Same here, I think.

But I'm getting the DBZ Viz Big's volumes 4-8.

Will have up until Freeza in anime form and then onwards in manga form!
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.

Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

I got a "Mystic Gohan" action figure from my cousin one Christmas. It's the only DBZ figure I own.

Last year I received Dragon Ball Kai Part 3 for Christmas.

I've asked for the last two Dragon Boxes for Christmas this year. I know I'm getting them, because I ordered them myself. But I won't get them until Christmas.




Once I wrote a DB parody of "The Night Before Christmas" for a DB website. Unfortunately, I can't remember which one and I can't find the parody.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Man I loved getting the figures back in the day.
The only problem was that I had action figures like Majin Buu and others, long before they were aired on TV :lol: My first Dragonball z toy I got for christmas was this

I think this is the Irwin toy's? I had a-lot of them, And I think I bought them Brand new for 13 bucks back in the day? Now I see some of them are selling for like 30 and 40 bucks :lol:

Well I have VIZ's release of the first Daizenshuu coming in the mail for this Christmas, but apart from that the only Dragon Ball related Christmas presents I've ever gotten are the 3rd DBZ VIZ big and Trunks' time machine from the Megahouse range.

Oh no! poor Vegeta lost his head :lol: Good luck! This year I'm getting a couple of Blu-Rays and one of them is the Cooler double feature on Blu-Ray. I really hope the audio is in sync for the English track,(unlike the DVD double feature) And I can't say for certain, But I believe my Brother is getting me Dragonbox 7 and I think my mom is getting me level 1.2 :)

Every Christmas I see to it that I get something DBZ related along with my other stuff. When I was a kid it used to be DVDs or action figures to play with. Now it's either some new DVDs or a t-shirt or a really cool action figure to sit on my desk.

Last year it was a t-shirt and a DVD. The year before it was action figures, the year before that was a Vegeta figure and two CCG decks.

This year I have no idea, but I'll figure something out. I always see to it that I get something DB related for Christmas. :)

A couple years ago, my girlfriend got me a key chain for a stocking stuffer. It had a button on it, and each time you pressed it, it would say one of the syllables for "kamehameha".

I remember getting Budokai 1 in Christmas 2002 and Budokai 2 in 2003, I also got a butch of DBZ toys back than too, I was about 6 and 7 during that time. Good memories. :)

All my DBZ toys are gone, sold them on eBay back in 2007 when I lost all my interest in DB around that time (got back into it when I heard news that the live-action movie was finally put in production if I only knew what was coming...) I REALLY regret doing that though. :cry:

Christmas 1999, I got the Saiyan and Namek VHS boxed sets, 2 booster boxes of the DBZ CCG, several irwin figures, and a couple of t-shirts. That was awesome
