How much do the Japanese Dragon Boxes weigh?

Post by rs_chaosmaster » Sun Feb 09, 2014 11:58 am

If anyone has the 5 Dragon Boxes can someone tell me the weight of all 5 together or even how much each individual box weighs?? I would greatly appreciate it trying to locate this information online and not having any luck :(. I thought for sure the Kanzenshuu guide would have this but it doesn't or i missed it possibly???

Thanks Again

It cost me near £100 for the Z boxes and GT boxes to be shipped together. You have to consider import charges too.

They're heavy as hell. If you're thinking of shipping the Dragon Box, the two Z boxes, the GT box AND the Movies set...prepare for colossal shipping.

That's honestly something I have never thought of; the Dragon Box's weight. Would you say that the heavy weight of the sets are a testament to their build quality? I know that the cases are larger than the U.S. Dragon Boxes but beyond simple views of the boxes on auctions online I haven't seen all too much of them.

I mean, whether Jesus is real or not, he - he's had a bigger impact on the world than any of us have. And the same can be said for Bugs Bunny and - and Superman and Harry Potter. They've changed my life - changed the way I act on the earth. Doesn't that make them kind of real? They might be imaginary but, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around here long after we're dead. So, in a way, those things are more realer than any of us.

The movie box (which is the smallest) is heavy enough to break someone's foot when dropped.

Imagine how much bigger the other boxes are now.

Well telling me its heavy is great and all which i knew and letting me know how much someone else paid for shipping is helpful but it would be more helpful if i had an actual weight 7 pounds a piece maybe???

I don't think anyone's actually weighed then on a scale, and being rude won't get you anywhere either.

It'll cost you more than $100 for just 3, almost certainly. It's expensive as hell.

Dragon Box the Movies (with everything in it) comes to around 2lbs 16 ounces. I dont have the other boxes though, but I hope this helps.

You should specify if you mean the Dragon Boxes themselves or the Dragon Box's Box that hold all of the contents inside. There is a good difference between the movies box by itself and complete. But if you are planning on buying from overseas that shipping is going to indeed exceed over 100$. Especially if you want it to be packaged safe and sound.

I fixed it (just to be more clean even if you were referring to the original poster lol) Thats true. If your planning on buying these, sometimes they come with the original box and extras such as statues, scouters, ect.

It would seem that my best guess for weight on these items will be around 25 pounds which is a lot lol but it could end up being as light as 18 guess we will see soon enough lol
