Catch of the Day (American Products)

Went to my local pawn shop to see what game I could trade Fifa 09 and Dragon Age 2 in for since they trade 2 for 1, and I saw the new Tomb Raider and Darksiders 2, and I was gonna get one of those, but then I saw this.





Kinda weird gameplay, not like most other recent DBZ games of the last few years. In a nutshell, it's all about picking either X or Y, or Left or Right, and if your opponent picks that, crap gets reversed. The blast battles are pretty fun and frantic by having to smash Y repeatedly. I prefer the fight style of BT3 or Raging Blast, but the visuals are amazing. Honestly, this game is kinda worth it because every battle plays out and looks freakin right, dawk! It can get repetitive, though; you'll probably fight exactly the same in each battle, just depends on if you wanna take out your enemy's ki, or try building up for an ultimate attack. I haven't played much of the story, only through to where Goku fights Ooazaru Vegeta, who stomped my ass a few times. You get like 30,000 or 40,000 HP, and each of Oozaru Vegeta's move's will take like 5,000 away at once, and he'll do it 3 or 4 times back to back.... Anyway, this game is better if you just enjoy the spectacle of the battles and don't worry too much about a kinda shallow gameplay system.

Haha, better them than me again.

Aye, you lucky byastard! I want those!

I received sadpanda's custom Yamcha in the mail today. I'm really pleased with it. The sculpt is great, whatever type of paint he uses is really durable (what do you use sadpanda?), his paint job is neat and precise, and only two tiny tips of his hair broke in the mail, which surprised me--I figured more would break.



This shot reminds me how much I hate Jakks' dead, lifeless plastic on many of their later figures. Tien looks like crap. Eventually I'm probably going to end up improving some of the engineering on the Yamcha (making his torso peg tight and replacing the hand articulation with what I normally use) and then replacing the logos with some of my stickers. All in all, for someone as picky as me, I'd have to say sadpanda is one of the best quality customizers on here. He did a great job.



If I ever get all this old #$&% off my custom figure table and finish it, I'd like to finally fix my old Yamcha and finish him. And give that ugly Tien a full repaint so he stops ruining every photo he gets in

sadpanda What sort of clear coat did you put on him? That must be the super durable part since I also use delta ceramcoat. For all I know you use the same thing as me, but I thought I'd check!
