Hi everyone! 
I'm Bardoon, been steered this way by some fellow DBZ fans on the Sideshow board (if you're familiar with it). We got a little "gym crew" of DBZ fans over there.
I actually might be in a minority here (or majority) but I grew up with Dragon Ball in the early to mid-90's during the original run when I lived in Thailand. They actually counterfeited A LOT of Dragon Ball merchandise over there, DBZ was on TV translated to Thai, and the Manga was reprinted (in Thai) in magazines so I was able to somewhat follow it and get a jist of what was going on (I'm not Thai but people helped translate for me). In school, Dragon Ball was the anime that everyone followed...if you remember the Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe, Transformers 80's craze here, the equivalent was DBZ over there. I collected a lot of Dragon Ball cards (most of them counterfeit from the Japanese versions, though I had a number of originals) and my first introduction to the toys were the "Super Battle Collection" figures. Even bought the original toy Scouter over there.
Got back into DBZ over the years, first getting the DVDs of the series and movies, then Blu-Rays. Been a figure collector for years and collect Hot Toys. Once I was introduced to Figuarts and their DBZ line, I was hooked again! My Dragon Ball collection is growing again!
