So hold on, they mention movies 1-17 in that survey; that obviously means all 13 DBZ movies and the 4 DB movies. So that means the two Z TV specials wouldn't be on the Movies Dragonbox?

That is total bullshit... I want the Bardock and Trunks specials in Dbox form.

I wonder if living outside the US makes my survey input less valuable somehow?

Anyway, I did the survey, and I'm going to try to get some friends to do it as well. The more support, the better our chances are!

Nope. As far as we know, they only have DBZ movies 1-13. The survey says 1-17. Which would include the DB movies. So voting for the movies just because you think they have them doesn't really effect the possibility of the release. They would still need to acquire the rights to the DB films.

I did it this morning, so I can't remember whether I voted for DBox the Movies or Dragonball, but it was a close one either way. If anything, I'd watch Dragonball more, but the movies would take less time and money to collect.

In the comment boxes, I asked for a couple things:

1) For the Trunks and Bardock specials to be released.
2) For the Z Season Sets to be discontinued in favor of box sets using the DBox footage but with cheaper more standardized packaging. This way, the footage, NEPs, etc. could be picked up by people who missed the DBox, but there's still a bit of exclusivity (cooler packaging and the Dragonbooks) for those who got the DBox on the first run. It'd be the equivalent of the R2 singles.

Sorry to sound so ignorant, but what OVA are you talking about?

I care about the TV specials the most.. it doesn't make sense to not include them; they're part of the main series. They are more important to the story than the movies are.

I will be thoroughly pissed if FUNimation doesn't include them in the Movies box.

The remake was pretty good on Raging Blast 2, in my opinion. Dont really care about that one. But the two TV specials are essential.

I doubt FUNimation is stupid enough to ignore them, though. I have more a little more faith in them than that.

I did the survey as well when I got home. I was very happy when I saw the news that Funimation may put out more Dragon Boxes. I voted for Dragon Ball since that is my favorite part of the series and I would love to see all of the openings/endings with the original Japanese title cards.

I would also like the movies but right now Dragon Ball is my top priority.

Well, it's not that they would ignore them exactly, they may just not be able to get their DBox footage as easily as that. Everything and anything Dragon Ball should be FUNimations top priority... and now with this little teaser survey out they better give us something...

I already have the blue box release of Dragon Ball, but if Funimation released the Dragon Ball Dragon Boxes, I'd buy them without hesitation, so that's how I voted.

Glad to see that this survey is bringing a lot of traffic to the forums. I bet Mike has a slue of new registration emails. lol.

Did anyone watch the FUNimation Q & A lightning round? They were doing questions from fans really quickly and they had someone straight copy/paste the questions for them to read and answer. There was so many Dragon Box questions. I think all those questions, our replies to the last survey, and the unfortunate outcome of the Blu-rays prompted this survey. Also, they've got to keep new Dragon Ball product on the shelves. It is their biggest seller.

Took the survey, very happy that they're considering releasing additional boxes. :3
I voted for the original DB, since that's what I'd like to own most in DBox format outside of the Z ones that I have.

I don't think I would even get the Plan to Eradicate all Saiyans if it was available in the best of qualities. It was the most boring db related thing, not sure if it's better than Bio Broly but it was bad.

I gotta have everything, so if it was released here I'd pick it up.

Never saw it, but like a year ago I found the whole thing separated into like 4 parts on youtube. I planned to watch it but I just never got around to it. I haven't checked but it's probably been taking off for copyright infringement or whatever.

A major question is whether Toei will give them the masters as easily... Toei may want more than they did with the Dragon Box Z masters, since they may think they will be able to get it.

I doubt that. It has a lot less episodes. If anything, Toei would ask more for DBZ than anything else. Since they know it's the best seller for FUNi.

I voted for the movies. I know they already have them so it will be easier and faster for them to get it out. They still need the rights for DB and DBGT.
You must have faith in who you are.
