…or any other recent gift-exchanging holiday?
I got 4 Kanzenban: #1, #2, #3, and #11. I was supposed to have gotten some for my birthday last month; apparently my mom had tried a place called “US Asia” but although the order went through they never arrived, so she canceled that and used Sasuga instead. Pricier, but got here a lot faster.
I was hoping to get Infinite World as well, but no luck.
How about you guys?

Are people that didn't get any anime, manga, or game related gifts supposed to reply here?

You could comment on others’ gifts, I suppose… or talk about what you
wished you had gotten (provided it doesn’t spiral into an all-out flamewar…

)

GT Season 1 boxset
and
Burst Limit
As well as a new DVD player, and a ton of clothes. (But I guess I'm at that age now where getting clothes for Christmas doesn't bother me, I'm actually glad I got them)

It was actually a very Dragonball oriented X-mas for me this year.
I received the orange bricks season 5-7, movies 3 and 4 and GT season 1.

Just got DragonBall Origins today... haven't actually played it yet, but I will once all these Christmas parties are done.
Also, got Chrono Trigger for the DS as well.
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

Half of a PS3 (I paid for the other half), and with it,
Burst Limit.
I was hoping for
Infinite World or
Origins, but no joy. Not that I blame anyone, being able to [find[/i] the damn things over here is a miracle.
In non-DB-related stuffage... 3 other PS3 games, a few selection boxes, The Dark Knight, far too much chocolate and £170.
I think today was the first time I got £100 all in a big whopper; I went over to my grandparents' house and there was £70 from them and £30 from the elusive Uncle Jim. I am a happy lad.

GT Season 1.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Money, money, money. And with this money, I shall purchase a used 60GB PS3 since it is backwards compatible. And I'll be buying Tenkaichi 3.
More gifts are on the way. I didn't get my stocking yet.
There better be chocolate in it, because I'm craving it right now.
Gohan: At least he doesn't have his sword out anymore.
Kuririn: Yeah, and your dad put his finger away too.

I haven't gotten anything DB-related yet, but I may yet get GT Season One... Neither Dad nor the sisters got it for me, but with how many hints I've been dropping, it may have been pointed to a relative...

Dragon Ball Collections 1+2 from Australia and Freeza's Scouter.
The other things were Detroit Metal City volume 1, KMFDM's album "HAU RUCK" and £10 which I used to get volume 1 of Cyborg 009.

I got all of the Bandai DBZ Ultimate Collection figures from both the Shenlong series and the new Porunga Series, except for Baby. Pretty nice haul if I do say so myself.
EDIT: And how could I forget!? I got the Viz Daizenshuu 1!

Let's see....
Nothing directly Dragon Ball-related this year. I got Season 5 for my birthday, which was on the 23rd. That gives me Seasons One, Five, and Seven. All odd numbers! I suppose I should get Three next! =p
I also got a DVD player, with a region 0 hack printed off and taped to the box. How considerate! Now I can snag those Dragon Box singles and/or that Saga of Goku R4 set, unless they are smart discs that take issue with Region 0.
And a 320 GB hard drive, which I'll put to use by ripping my Dragon Ball DVDs to it.

Viz's Daizenshuu 1
And just because I want to mention it, Nintendo Wii

No Dragonball presents for me this year unfortunately, I tried to buy me some yesterday but merchandise is soooo rare here in my country. Still thinking of purchasing a scouter through Ebay, though...
