Re: Clarification help, please: Dragon Ball (and Z/GT) VHS t

Yes, all the GT VHS tapes were in the edited format, never release in uncut and no box art was ever released either. Can you post some pics of your edited GT tapes please? All of mine are uncut, and say so right on the slip-cover. It'd be great to see some that don't have that Uncut label, so I can...

Clarification help, please: Dragon Ball (and Z/GT) VHS tapes

In my search to get all of DB on VHS, I've been told that the Tournament Saga is unavailable in edited format because Funimation didn't start releasing edited tapes until the Red Ribbon Army saga. This was due to them trying to cater to the more hardcore crowd, but then decided it was worth offering...

Re: Dragon Ball/ Wal-Mart Sets

Thanks for the link! I wonder if it's Wal-mart doing the shrink-wrapping to move out their overstock? Maybe they got the idea from seeing the Z double sets, as I think it's safe to say Funi would have had to do the redesign on the slipcover.

Re: Dragon Ball/ Wal-Mart Sets

You're correct, I'm referring to Z. Sorry if I missed that :oops: I thought you were just asking if the website Z sets were like the store Z sets.

I would love to know if they've done that for the blue bricks, though. That would be really interesting to see.

Re: Dragon Ball/ Wal-Mart Sets

I know the original question seems to have been passed by a bit, but my local Wal-mart has the sets asked about in the OP. They're not exactly just the two seasons shrink-wrapped together. It's the inner individual digi-packs of the two seasons, with a new double wide slipcover over the top. I'll sn...

Re: Mike's Upcoming JPNS Toy Releases Thread

So I'm interested in some of those Dragon Ball Kai sculpture figures that were posted about. I was looking at that inxspro.com website, but while some of the figures are listed normally, others are being listed as "HK Version". http://inxspro.com/index.php/index.php?route=product/search&am...

Re: VHS sets wanted!

Thanks! That is by far the best explanation that anyone's ever given. I won't worry about tracking those down, then. Also, I can knock a number of ones off my list. I currently have coming: Garlic, Jr. box set uncut A better condition Trunks box uncut Imperfect Cell box uncut Perfect Cell box uncut ...

Re: VHS sets wanted!

Thanks for everyone's help so far. I'm just about done with my Uncut DBZ set. I've got everything in the regular series now but a Babidi Uncut box set, and hoping to close a deal for that soon. I'm still looking for sets for the movies, and I'm still interested all the box sets I have listed for Edi...

Re: VHS sets wanted!

I think he meant the original Dragon Ball Tournament Saga. (21st TB) Yes, this is what I mean. I've been looking for them for the last month, but haven't come across any yet. Thanks for the sale list, but I want to first see if I can pick up sets/bundles before I start diving into individual tapes....

Re: VHS sets wanted!

Good luck finding any edited Dragon Ball vhs tapes. Those things are impossible to find almost. I've got em all, but they ain't for sale. Good luck though! Do you have the Tournament Saga edited? I've seen them all for sale on Amazon except the Tournament Saga. Could you post a pic of them, if you ...

Re: My Dragon Ball viewing quest!

I heartily agree. When I rewatched the Saga of Goku on the Blue Brick set, I found myself getting frequently annoyed at Goku's voice actor. There was too much giggling and not enough variation in emotion coming through the voice. It was a bit jarring, although I've gotten used more now as I've progr...

VHS sets wanted!

I'm trying to get complete sets of the 3 shows on VHS (or as much as is available), in both edited and uncut format, in box sets wherever applicable. The second-hand marketplace for these has been extremely frustrating, so I'm turning to you, my fellow fans, for help! I prefer to pick up stuff in ni...

Re: Figures - Open or leave in packaging?

Thanks for all the great responses to my questions!! It's given me a lot of help so far. I've been giving it some real thought over the last couple of days, and I think for now I'm going the "open them" route. I put all of the capsule figures I'd bought up on my DBZ shelf, and they look gr...

Figures - Open or leave in packaging?

I've just picked up some really cool DBZ gashapons, and I had a really good time opening them all up and putting them together. I'm looking forward to displaying them all on my anime shelves, filling the nooks and crannies. It got me thinking about possibly picking up some other Dragon Ball figures,...

Re: My Dragon Ball viewing quest!

:lol: Absolutely!

I actually went on Craigslist last year and bought myself an old 21" Emerson tv, 1985 vintage. Cost me a whopping $15, and the lady threw in a turntable, cabinet and some speakers. Not too shabby if I do say so.

My Dragon Ball viewing quest!

Hi everyone :) I just wanted to share a bit about my quest to track down all of Dragon Ball, Z, and GT on good ol' fashioned tape and my quest to watch all of Dragon Ball in its various forms. Now, the first question I'm sure most of you might ask is... "Why?" :roll: Well, to be honest, I'...
