I just did this myself, even though I have a note in my phone what better place to put what you’re missing than here haha. HFIL somebody might have an extra of what you want!

Now, one big issue I've been having with these VIZBigs is that they're really uncomfortable to sit and read, and I'm scared to open them up too wide as I've heard and seen that they have binding issues.
My biggest gripe with those to be honest (aside from varying censorship present in all English releases) is the spine art. They could’ve made it so much more interesting and still kept the theme of Goku. We got 5 of one Goku, 5 of another, 3 of another and Vegetto. When Toriyama sensei gave us plenty of outfits to work with that would’ve been nice to see. Not even just his one-off art pieces like the Journey to the West stuff or cover art but they could’ve been relevant. The outfit he wore to train with Kame-Sennin, the outfit he had on when he charged Red Ribbon, the outfit he came to 23rd BT in, Yardrat outfit, Bulma’s Sento outfit, EoZ gi. Idk lol.

The only “parts” I’ve purchased since the VHS days are Kai, because I had 1-4 for the Yamamoto score and figured I’d get the other 7 parts in that format so they’d look the same even though I hate it lol, and the Level Sets.
Side question, do you collect any of the games or have the other Daizenshuu/Chozenshuu?[/spoiler]
Ha, I really want the Kai parts too but they're so expensive now. I didn't realize the Kai TFC blu rays would match the parts so I backed my parts 1-4 with Yamamoto up to my PC, got rid of them, and then bought Seasons 1-4 so it all looked consistent. Then TFC came out and ruined that.
Ah dude that sucks! At least they aren’t impossible to find if you should decide to go back and do it in parts. Just expensive as you said. I too focus on consistency and because I have the Yamamoto parts and don’t foresee there ever being a TFC Box I will be selling season 3&4 and just doing the whole thing in parts for consistency’s sake. Now that Super is over I’ll finish collecting Kai TFC and wait for Seasons of Super on BR. I refuse to have my collection be in parts if I don’t have to lol. Not again. Kai can be an exception for the sake of the Yamamoto OST but with the incredible popularity and demand for Super there’s no reason it shouldn’t receive season BR’s from Funi.

I happen to agree.

This is also why I want all the Japanese Dragon Boxes, so I can back them up and use that fan made program to add subtitles to them, and have the best picture quality available. That's a ways down the road though.
My JP boxes are the jewel of my collection and I wish I had the entire set. I have all the ones I do own backed to a drive, yeah Scouter or whatever that program is called works well, ime.
I recently finished getting that collection of the Broadcast Audio that’s floating around the internet. I’d like to Re-mux it all and throw some upscaled DBox footage, Broadcast Audio (where applicable) and that Scouter programs subs together, then burn on to some BR for personal use. I’d like the BR to have as many episodes as possible on each disc so I can just play all and sit back - HFIL if I have time it’d be cool to either program the menu in a way that mimics marathon mode on the orange brick sets or just cut the footage together that way myself. It’s a big semi-convoluted project but I figure when I get my new place I go ahead and start it since I’ll have everything I need to do so.

Do you have them? And do you recommend them
I have many of them. 1,3-5 and the Cardass Supp ones. Then I have Chozenshuu 1 and the English Daizenshuu. Along with GT Perfect files and a limited few other databooks. I personally love these books but consider them of secondary importance. The art is great and if you can read them they’re really very interesting. They bring a nice experience but some of the info inside is variable as far as accuracy or just being retconned in general. I like that because it adds a “back in my day” experience lol but it’s not for everybody. I personally recommend them if you like art and like encycopledia. Not to mention they’ll just be getting harder and harder to find as years pass. My guess is in 10 years or less a complete set will cost US DBox prices lol.
