Anyone on the hunt for a Madman 'Saga of Goku' set?

Post by DragonBoxZTheMovies » Mon May 26, 2014 1:41 am

There's one currently being listed on Trade-Me for $25:

I'm not sure how the seller would be with international shipping, but you could try.

Dibs. Does this website only pertain to New Zealanders, though? And is PayPal acceptable?

Don't think Paypal can be used but there's some Australian members on there and one that's American, though I think that was a clothing shop.

That's disappointing. I'd love to have this version of "The Saga of Goku." I've already got the one released here in the U.S., but for completion's sake it would be nice to have this one as well.

If anyone internationally needs it, I could grab it for you if you just pay me back of course, and shipping price to your country.

Just a reminder for anyone that wants that release, the UK Dragon Ball release is exactly that. So there are other options now, depending on who's where.

Yep. On Play it's like £22 and converting it is $37 so just a difference of $12, not counting the shipping (free in UK).

http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/59568185 ... fer=search (they've not updated the real cover of DB:S1 on the Play page).

It's cheaper to get from Play than Amazon right now.

That would be awesome, thanks. PM me once you've received it and I'll pay via PayPal.

It's just repackaged Saga Sets as Seasons in UK.

The two problems I'd hope Manga UK would fix on the UK Saga Sets would be creating English subtitles for Episode 73 and authoring episode 81 with the respective second part of it on the Japanese side. There's a problem on the "Season 2" which Episode 57 only displays the English translated title card unfortunately.

To be honest, all of my time of watching the Saga Sets on TV I've never actually had this issue, unless I paused it and then saw the ghosting but even then it didn't bother me.

Base.com is the cheapest I found.

For some odd reason. Amazon has increased their pricing for most Manga UK releases, so Manga have been promoting base.com and I can see why, awesome site.

lolwut??? Are you sure? I called dibs on this thing as soon as this thread was created and I took your offer for it long before anyone else did, it seems.

Not trying to be rude or anything, of course. Was looking forward to having a complete collection of Dragonball singles, though...

Oh totally forgot about Base, but thanks for pointing it out, Saiyan!

With the UK Saga Sets being at reasonable prices you can just get them yourself without relying on others, and yeah, sure it costs $12 or more than the one which you wanted but at least it's new and with a cool cover that uses the authentic Dragon Ball logo.

All these rating logos and such that you see above can be hidden as it has a reversible cover.

Amazon does, I think Play.com but not too sure about Base.
