This is a very old topic from August 2004 that has been bumped up to the first page (by accident I am sure tam_chick01)!
TamaSquare is an excellent site for accurate V1 character info translated from the BanDai TamaPlus site and BanDai Raising Guide (really good tips on how to get some of the V1 characters):
Which is exactly what was needed for the original question. But unfortunately, the tips on how to get certain V1 characters don't really help for the V2 or V3...
So I think I had better close this before ppl start trying them - or complaining about them!
