I am! It just feels slow is all, and there is not enough episodes in that Bluray set to satisfy my craving

Back to Dragon Ball, here's my collection so far. I hadn't watched the whole series until I got the Blurays (AMAZING set by the way), I haven't watched all the movies yet, none of GT yet, and I dont own the original DB yet. I don't really have much interest in the original besides getting some more context, and I was hoping for a Bluray upgrade but I dunno if that'll ever happen.

Don't you also get the variants of MPs.

The takara bee has better instructions and no paint in the eyes.

Takara prime has light grey plastic and paint on the feet.

I wasn't aware of such figure variances.... you got pics to prove this?

I do have 2 Bees. One bought from overseas, the other from local TRU. There are slight variances in the packaging (mostly in warnings and trademarks), but I didn't open the TRU one.

Alrighty.... the one MPM-3 came from TRU, so that's Hasbro obviously. My other one, I ASSUME is Hasbro Asia. But where the hell am I supposed to find the proper Takara one? Is it even out?

Explanation for the non-DBZ fans, the goofy poses are inspired by the Ginyu Force. And the Ginyu Force, is actually in turn a satire of the Power Rangers/Super Sentai.

Have you already made this purchase? If you haven't, I caution strongly against paying full price.

Are you gonna try the takara version?

In the factory, a worker broke the mold for prime and takara supposedly fixed it.

Say what?! DBZ Power Rangers?! Broken molds?! MASS HYSTERIA!!

Also, MP Magnus is on the chopping block. CW can out-pose him. Heck, even Reximus Prime is more posable!!

I do enjoy the CW version quite a bit -- I prefer him over the G1 original, too.

Although that one had its charm as a suit of armor for the original albino Optimus.

Sure, G1 Ultra Magnus could not split and move his legs independently, but he had shoulder cannons and a gun -- not to mention SUPER ROBO-EXTEND PUNCH capabilities.

There's a few MPs that may not make the cut, D-Max, I'll let you know!!

And bodrock, CW Ultra Magnus is a lot of fun and feels like the G1 more than the MP does. Maybe I'll pick up Citizen Stack of I want an MP style Magnus again.

Its an MP dude, I'ma buy them all even if they're terrible :lol:

But even if I could, where would I find a brand new MP for less than retail? :-?

There's a high possibility.
