I think I should ask this question here rather that create a topic for it so....: Is it good deal if I get the first three DBKAI DVD:s for 20 euros?

If you don't mind me asking, why are you only buying the bricks just for the booklets :? ?

Because my collection feels incomplete without all of the brick booklets.

The booklets were pretty much the best thing the Blue/Orange/Green bricks had going for it.

Maybe for DB and GT, at best, but there was another release of Z that had a set of way more detailed and accurate books. Which I believe you have.
I guess I can understand wanting to complete a collection of something, but I definitely wouldn't be buying DVD sets over and over for an extra insert.

Well, that's an unmissable deal and if he includes the films (all DB & Z?) for 40€ you're getting a kickass bundle from this seller.

I already have Kai Parts 1-4 on Blu-ray but if I didn't this would be a perfectly acceptable replacement (especially since they have the Yamamoto score).

I just bought the spanish version of the Choganshuu:

To be honest, quality is a bit worse than it's japanese counterpart. Pages are a bit less thick and the box seems a little worse as well.

Finally after some time I got the series on dvd at some form (even thought I still need to hunt down volumes seven and eight). Also the seller was nice enough to give me both of the cooler movies for free and it cost me only around forty euros :)

Damn. Nice pick-ups. Thought about getting the Spanish Chogashu at one stage, but the Japanese version is still readily available, so I'll have to get around to picking that up at some point. Also seriously considering getting the BOG Ani-Manga. The Jump Remix one is on CD Japan for a little bit less than the normal one, so I may give that a look. Considering how much shipping costs there, I'll probably throw it into a larger order when I finally get around to picking up Chozenshuu 3 along with the after mentioned Chogashu. If not, I'll nab the Spanish one off Book Depository since they do fee shipping. Are there any compromises in quality that I should know about in both the Jump Remix and Spanish versions?

Everything is translated, but the paper quality is not as good as the Japanese one. It's not bad by any means, but the japanese choganshu has really thick pages.

Maybe the quality paper of the Spanish Chogashuu is a bit lower than the Japanese one, but anyway still being good quality.

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.

I've only taken a look at the Full Color so far. It's cool, it looks like a totally different series :lol:
The new translation is pretty good too. It's a bit more colloquial, and it makes a few changes regarding names which I think are an improvement.
