^ You're a fan of the Thomas' series, Gohan619?

Always nice to see a Dragon Ball release with the original logo and especially since it's the Saga Sets. :)

Thomas was my first love before Dragonball, I had all the trains. I don't watch it now though and when I go I to a toy shop I don't recognise any of the new ones.

Related on the Anime Comic of Battle of Gods, I have the Japanese and the Spanish version. In comparison, the paper quality of the Spanish edition is better xD. The Jump Remix edition usually is worst than the normal one.
In regards to the Chogashu, it's good to know that it isn't too big of a step down in terms of quality. With the BOG Ani-Manga, I guess I'm not too fussed about the quality of that one since I just want it to sit alongside the rest of my Manga since it's a 'Toriyama work'.

Looks like someone's been to the UK. :P Yeah, Thomas the Tank Engine was my first major, obsession-level fandom for a franchise. You should check out Kirbopher's recent 'Kirblogs', he talks about TTTE rather extensively in one of them (I think it was the 'Media that use to scare you' one- or something to that effect).

Kakarot88 I have to give you so much props on that! :thumbup: :thumbup:
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

I never realised they did release it all. I mean I'd see a one-off DVD with a few random episodes now and again, didn't know they did complete series sets.

:lol: so it's fundant covering two spheres (the mold for a sphere cake she used is two halves that when stacked make a whole) with I think a cardboard layer separating the two halves or something like that. It was basically two dome cakes she stacked and decorated. The baker was incredible and super knowledgeable. It was funny she had a huge portfolio and looked at the pic of Kaio's planet and was basically like "I've never done anything like this and I want do this, trust me," and cuz she was so passionate about her work and wanting to do it we were like alright sold.

She really nailed the house.

Inside is Carrot Cake ...cuz of Kakarot :mrgreen:

EDIT: earlier I said "hollow spheres" I mean the cake mold was hallow in that you put the mix into the hollowed out sphere (at least that is how I assumed she did it)

I figure I might as well ask this here, but is the GT Complete Series by Funi offered with an Eng Dub + Japanese Music feature? When i saw GT many years ago it was with the dub music and I don't think that did it any favors.

Yes but remember that the Green Bricks have the metal GT logo which looks pretty crappy and unsatisfying.

Well is there any other alternative to buying GT on DVD for a reasonable price? It's pretty cheap on ebay.

Battle of Gods Blu-ray. This was actually my first Dragon Ball related purchase in quite some time since I have all of the anime/manga volumes.

The GT bricks are the cheapest way to acquire the series so if you don't want to spend too much then that's the way to go.
