Hello, I will try to make this guide helpful to those who collect Dragonball figures. So please bear with me as this is the first guide that i've ever written so im a newbie as far as that goes with the guides but I chose to make it about db and dbz as they are two things that I MAJORLY COLLECT. As an adult collector of ANYTHING Dragonball I have acquired literally hundreds of items and I have experienced bad sellers and bootleggers. First off, the super battle collection figures. If you collecting these there is one small thing you should watch out for. Take a closer look at the figure, in the lower right hand corner there SHOULD be a bandai logo. A while ago I had a bad experience where I had purchased some and they fell apart on me and I took a closer look just to see that there was no logo, needless to say they got negative feedback. Same with the Dragon Ball dvd's. Some people have used the stock photo for (let's just use this as an example) The Dragon Ball Tournament Saga. Now this DVD runs about an average price of $90 with shipping. Using the stock photo they might put it in the case and be etchy with the item description and when you get the item it has dvd-r's in them! Be sure to ask the seller questions like Is it the original with inserts? They are required to give you that info. Anyways im making this guide not only to tell you about bootlegging but for serious collectors I am making this guide to give you a complete list of Dragon Ball/Dragonball Z figures/playsets to check off your collection! Also if you are a seller reading this i'd like to make a note. Sellers that offer paypal only lose bids, simply because if you think about it most collectors age 17-20's don't have a credit card. Or many people choose not to use paypal because of all the little hidden fees they stick you with. It costs to pay how ridiculous is that?! Anyways i'm going to make a checklist starting with the irwin/jakks line which was series 1 to series 18.

Series 1  - Master Roshi With Turtle, Bulma, Garlic Jr., Nappa, Raditz

Series 2 - Burter, Jeice, Yajirobe with Korin, Chiaotzu, Frieza Form II

Series 3 - Krillin, Trunks, Chi Chi, Dende, King Kai With Bubbles

Series 4 - Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, Android 17, Android 18

Series 5 - Dr. Gero, Teen Trunks, Super Saiyan Goku, Super Saiyan Vegeta, Super Saiyan Gohan

Series 6 -  Supersaiyan Goku (armor), Supersaiyan Trunks, Perfect Cell w/ Cell Jrs, Android 16, Android 19

Series 7 - Goku, Great Saiyaman, Spopovich, Supersaiyan Teen Gohan, Majin Vegeta (Yellow Hair and Black Hair)

Series 8 - Daburah, Videl, Supersaiyan Trunks and Goten, Goku With Halo, Gohan

Series 9 - Hercule, Babidi, Majin Boo, Pui Pui, Krillin

Series 10 - Yakon, Yamcha With Puar, Gotenks, Schoolboy Gohan, Supersaiyan Vegeta

Series 11 - Bulma, Evil Majin Buu, Supreme Kai and Kibito, Supersaiyan Gohan, Supersaiyan 3 Goku

Now as it goes Irwin stopped making the Dragonball Z line and it got turned over by Jakks Pacific after series 11 and you can tell as the figures now have different packaging and different sculpts to the figures.

Series 12 - Gohan, Super Buu, Tien, Vegito, Supersaiyan Gotenks with Kamikaze Ghost

Series 13 - Battle Damaged Goku, Supersaiyan Vegito, Supersaiyan 3 Gotenks, Buu In Gohan Absorbed

Series 14 - Goku, Uub, Kid Buu, Teen Trunks, Vegeta

Series 15 - Cyborg Frieza, Battle Damage Goku, Battle Damage Vegeta, Battle Damage Gohan, Battledamage Gotenks

Series 16 - Supersaiyan 2 Trunks, Supersaiyan 4 Gogeta, Battle Damaged Supersaiyan Goku, Piccolo

Series 17 - Burter, Captain Ginyu, Recoome, Battle Damaged Goku, Battle Damaged Vegeta

Series 18 - Spirit Bomb Goku, Kid Buu, Piccolo, Supersaiyan Future Trunks, Frieza Second Form

Ok now I will make a Movie Collection checklist.  Mainly IF Labs, most of these are out of print and very expensive, so for the collector I say Good Luck! I am still trying to get my hands on some pricey ones.

Series 1 - Cooler, Lord Slug, Piccolo, Battle Damaged Supersaiyan Goku

Series 2 - Krillin In Spacesuit, Goku In Spacesuit, Meta Cooler, Supersaiyan Vegeta

Series 3 - Gotenks, Majin Boo, Supersaiyan 3 Goku, Vegito
