Yet another conundrum withthe series 17 images
It would appear that you can only view the new Series 17 images at the DBZ website if you are using Internet Explorer, as the link to “More Toys” is mysteriously absent when the page is viewed in Netscape. Interesting. Hopefully, that should clear up any problems.

No, really, series 17 images
To see the new figures, go to the link in the post below, then click on “View Toys”, then click on “More” at the bottom of the following page.
I swear, I gave some of you more credit than you deserved—I didn’t figure I had to spell it out for you. Thanks for the e-mails telling me how stupid I am for posting bad info.

Series 17 photos!
Well, as much as it pains me to do so, I’ll have to send you folks to another site to see some of the new series 17 figures. The Official DBZ Site has images of the new Android 17, Android 18, Piccolo, and Vegeta figures. They are incorrectly credited as series 16, but they are up.
Thanks to TaurusPrince89@aol.com for sending this in.

Irwin toy site
Irwin’s new site, according to the blurb at http://www.irwintoy.com, will be up in 15 days. That’s nice.
I’m still working on distilling the figure reviews, I hope to have them up tomorrow.

And now for something completely different...
Today’s subject—the presidential campaign. It is our expert opinion here at the Dragonball Toy Island that Al Gore, who has been slipping in the polls recently, would greatly improve his chances of winning the presidential race by legally changing his name to “Zorro”.
To support the “Zorro Gore” campaign, e-mail Al Gore and suggest this to him. Let your voice be heard, America!
Bwa-Ha-Ha—sorry, I couldn’t hold it in any more. Have a nice day!

Auction Additions
I’ve added some features to the DBTI Auctions, including password retrieval, options to view new, hot, and closing items, and a system to prevent sellers from bidding on their own items (which was the cause of some auction deletions today). Got some items to sell? Looking for hard to find toys? Head on over there and check it out!

Irwin Series 14+ Specialty Packaging
I’ve added images of the special silver packaging for the new Irwin figures to the Irwin 2000 5” figures page.

This special packaging is for specialty stores only, such as comic stores, anime stores, and online toy stores.
Thanks to Comics Plus for the images, and to bustashynes for posting the links to the silver packaging on the message board.

A Matter of Opinion
Howdy folks—I’ve gotten a lot of e-mail concerning the whole Full Episodes issue, and I’d just like to clarify my own position on the topic. I am in full agreement with the Anti-Episode folks, for one reason—I want to see (and own) DBZ on DVD, in the original Japanese format, and I believe that Full Episode sites take sales away from the FUNimation DVDs, and thus decrease my chances of being able to own them all. A purely selfish reason, but hopefully the anti-ep e-mails will stop now. Thanks.

Message Board Rebuilt
Hey folks, the new version of the board is up and running. Hopefully, the fact that I ended up rebuilding it from the ground up will solve the file and posting problems that were going on.
Unfortunately, all of the old messages were lost. While this is good for server space, it’s not good if you were in the middle of something, and for that, I’m sorry. It’ll be okay.
Anyway, this new version has some new bells and whistles, check them out! I’m still tweaking it, but posting is enabled, so head on over there and check it out!
Remember, if you’d like a message board account, e-mail the_kappa@dragonballtoys.com with your desired username and password, and he’ll set you up with an account.

Updating Message Board
Hey folks, the board will be offline for a bit, because I’m going to upgrade to a new version. Some messages may be lost, but I have backed up all of the user data, so it should be okay.

News on the Irwin 3-Pack
Talked to the folks at Irwin—it turns out that the series 14 three-pack (Raditz, Nappa, Roshi) is the only one that they have produced, and they currently have no plans to put out any more.
He also said that they are still waiting on images of the various lines, so hopefully those will get to them, and then to us, soon.

More at Sears Canada
It would appear that Sears Canada, the site that had the 12” figures in the last post, also has a few more tricks up its sleeves for the adventurous shopper. First, they have Deluxe Super Saiyan Trunks already on sale, as well as the Rejuvenation Chamber as well. However, like the figures in the last post, the status of the items is “pending”, which I take to mean “God knows when we’ll get this figure in”. Order only if you just can’t wait…
Thanks to jade@atomic.net and Andrew Griffin for the heads up on this one.

Holy Mother of Pearl--The 12" Figures are available online!
Heads up! The brand-new 12” figures from Irwin toy are available for order at Sears Canada! Click here to check them out!
However—when I checked for the availability of the items, they were listed with a status of “pending”, which, when I looked it up, means the following: “Pending means that we are not able to confirm availability right now. A Pending situation may require us to contact you to confirm availability and delivery.” So, place your orders if you’re bold…

Some places to find series 14, 15, and some Bandai SBCs!
From many of the e-mails I’ve been getting, it would appear that the new Irwin figures are starting to pop up all over in Target stores, as well as the Warner Brothers Studio store. Check for them there.
Also, I’ve gotten an e-mail report that some Meijer stores have gotten shipments of DBGT Bandai SBC figures! So, if you’re looking for them, you might want to check that out in your area!
Thanks to everyone who sent these items in, you know who you are!
