Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
So with it being christmas and all it got me thinking about all my favourite presents I've been given throughout the years, a few of which have been DB related, and anyway, I was wondering if anyone here would like to share some of the DB related gifts they have recieved in the past (not just xmas) and if they had a favourite and a worst.
First off I remember receiving Final Bout for my PSX, I had no idea what GT was but I loved the idea of a DBZ game and the characters seemed amazing at the time, either that or one christmas where I got DBZ figures would have to top my favourite DB related gifts.
My worst DB related gift was actually volume 1 of the DBZ manga, crazy I know. Well I was young and wasn't interested in reading, never mind from right to left, on top of this it was black and white and I didn't care much for the Raditz Arc having had it repeated several times on Cartoon Network before.
So, please feel free to share some of your memorable DB gifts! Oh, and merry christmas!

Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
I picked up seasons 8 and 9 today with daddy's cash, completing my orange brick collection, so that's pretty cool for me.
I've never been surprised with a dbz gift unfortunately, I've always had to take the initiative myself to make sure I got what I have. I guess you could say season 1 was a gift to myself though. The first time I bought it I decided to take a chance with Ebay and it came without the episode guide, which I was pretty upset about. I sold it for what I paid and bought it factory sealed from Walmart for 6 bucks more.

Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
Worst, hm... I think it was last year that I bought Raging Blast 2 and at first I was disappointed with the music change, but after playing it I got used to it and loved it (the music, the gameplay's repetitively boring).
This year was definitely worse, I bought Sonic the Hedgehog (aka: Sonic 06) and because the "game" was so horrific I returned it. I don't want to ever own Sonic 06 ever again.

What does Sonic have to do with Dragon Ball?
My best is Budokai 3 and that game rocked.... the Dragon.
My worst would have to be that bootleg Piccolo toy with blue clothing.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

It gets fucked up like Dragon Ball games do. Luckily Sonic Team has redeemed themselves with the bless of Sonic Generations.DBZAOTA482 wrote:What does Sonic have to do with Dragon Ball?

Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
I think I got a few Bandai GT figures like 10 or 11 years ago. I still want to collect those for the nostalgia. As for worst gift, I got nothing bad DB related. I did get Season 3 of the orange bricks in 2007 which was alright, I guess.

Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
There's never a bad Dragonball gift! Unless it's something bootleg or a double of something you already have. Well, one Christmas, I did ask for a DBZ game for gameboy and instead I got Mega-Man Z. The best Dragonball gift was all 5 Dragonball Blue Bricks last year. My mother paid for them, but I ordered them myself since I couldn't trust my parents to get it right after the whole Mega-Man Z thing.

But really, the gifts so far are cool, don't think I'd trust my parents to get me anything DBZ, my dad is real tight with money and would probably get me some bootleg DVDs or something :p

Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
I just received a Banpresto Dragon Ball DX 6 inch soft vinyl set of Goku (Shu Outfit), Oolong (Panties on the head) and Pilaf from my husband for Christmas. That's probably the best DB Gift I've received.
The worst one would be Dragon Ball Evolution that my husband got me for Christmas a few years ago, but it was joke gift because he knew I hated it.

I wipe it off the tile, the light is brighter this time, everything is 3D blasphemy.
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up, this is not the way I picture me.
I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong.
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this. Is it a dream or a memory?

Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
This year I picked up the fifth Dragon Box, the Dragon Ball Movie 4-Pack, Kai Season 1 Blu-Ray, and volumes 6 & 7 of the manga.
Feels good, man.

Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
My girlfriends family found a battle damaged Goku figure from the If Labs line, at Goodwill, and I got that today for my birthday. I'd say it's a really good DB gift, esepecialy his condition he is in, it's like new.

Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
I've gotten the first and last Dragon Boxes for Christmas '09 and '11 respectively, those were definitely awesome. And I've gotten various video games over the years (off the top of my head, Budokai 2, Burst Limit, Buu's Fury, Raging Blast 2, Tag VS), also awesome.
... But one year I got these.

Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
Best: A family member bought me a DBZ action figure for Xmas back in 02/03
The bad part was I already owned that specific figure, so we just took it to a store and got it exchanged for another DBZ figure ^_^
Worst? Can't say I've ever had one.

And what's with the hairstyles on that first 'How to draw' book? Haha, it's a very typical 'oooh, that's got those yellow-haired people on that our son likes, lets get him that'.

Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
I got those one year as well, and "meh" is the right word. Not the worst drawing book, but not the best either. I wouldn't consider it my worst Dragon Ball gift though. I don't think I've ever had a bad Dragon Ball gift.Ketchup_Revenge wrote:Do you consider them bad or good? To me, they're... meh.The Tori-bot wrote: *snipped images*
My best gift would probably be Budokai 2 back in 2003, since that's the first Dragon Ball game I ever got and owned.
Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
Gohan's hairstyle is all sorts of wrong. He's got Goku's SSJ hairstyle while Goku has a SSJ2 hairstyle.

Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
My best gift was my brother letting me borrow seasons 1-4 of DBZ back in Christmas 08 since if it wasn't for that I probably wouldn't be on this forum right now.
Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
How could I forget? The best dbz present I ever got was my Banpresto Vegeta ufo catcher:

Re: Your best or worst Dragon Ball Gifts
Best: I got Dragon Boxes 6 and 7 last year (2011, to prevent any confusion) for Christmas.
Worst: Nothing that I can think of specifically...I think my brother got that two-in-one orange brick set for seasons one and two a while back.
