Re: Throw away my Dragon Boxes?

I went ahead and posted them on ebay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/332490623803?s ... 1558.l2649

Bidding is starting at $1 (not sure if that was a good idea), and the auction lasts 5 days.

Re: Throw away my Dragon Boxes?

Thanks so much for the replies, everybody! :) A number of you recommended selling them, but disclosing what they'd been through. I'd also thought about doing that, and since so many other people think that is reasonable, I think that's probably what I'll do. I may put them up on eBay (can I link to ...

Throw away my Dragon Boxes?

(Though this is merchandise-related, I'm not sure if it's the right section of the forum for it, so I hope you'll forgive me if it's not.) Hi, friends. I need advice. I've collected all of the U.S. Dragon Boxes. In 2014, I went to the fantastic Dragon Ball panels at Animazement (side note: I'm in th...

Re: "F" Movie - pointless?

Whether or not it's "pointless" in the way OP means will depend on how Jaco is used in follow-up stories. The other relevant issues it reveals (SSGSS and Whis's time travel technique) could have been revealed at any other point. But it's possible Jaco wouldn't have come to Earth if Freeza ...

Re: Filler and Super?

If anything BoG and RoF are closer to manga canon than Super's BoG and RoF arcs are. I just take Super as a continuation of DB Kai, rather than a continuation of the manga. Original DB anime canon: DB-->DBZ-->DBGT DB Manga canon: DB + Bog & RoF[...] Modern DB anime canon: DB-->DBK-->DBS. I like...

Re: Anybody already stopped watching Super?

Well, I think I've reached my saturation point with this show. I tried to watch the recent episode with Mr. Satan claiming he saved the world from Beerus, and I just couldn't stay with it. I tried. This episode was as bad as the GT episodes with those dancing Para brothers (that and the whole Luud a...

Re: Anybody already stopped watching Super?

I wish I had the self-control to stop watching the series. I was thrilled when I learned a new series was coming. I didn't read anything about it, because I hate spoilers. I loved BoG, and wasn't too keen on RoF, but it had solid redeeming qualities, and I was pumped to see what would happen after t...

Never really thought about that before, but I think I would, too. That audio changes the whole experience.

Re: This scene made me cry?

It can have as much emotion in it as it wants, it's still just a cartoon and I certainly wouldn't cry over a make belief cartoon. I'd cry if a real life family member died, not an animated green slug alien. Your tone is pretty patronizing. Everyone has their own way of responding to things. Crying ...

I want to add that even though Kaio-sama's voice wasn't the best, even he had a couple of lines that made me and the rest of the audience laugh. :)

Re: Post your Battle of Gods Theatre Experience

Fantastic. And this is coming from a huge fan of the Japanese cast. I saw it at the theater on Grove Barton Road in Raleigh, NC. Was anyone else there? First of all, I finally watched the Japanese BoG for the first time a few days ago. Partly because I had low expectations for it, I ended up REALLY ...

Re: Thanksgiving Thankfulness and Dragon Ball

I'm thankful for this site, the community, BOG, Animazement and the opportunity to meet the cast of the series, and for completing my Dragon Box Z collection. I'm also thankful that people still like Dragon Ball in the year 2013. Future me is thankful for BOG coming to the U.S. Whenever that may be.

Re: Unexpected Dragon Ball in your life

I was at a concert here in Raleigh around Halloween, and between songs the singer said something like, "Hey, it's Goku!" I looked behind me and, yep, there was a guy dressed as Goku. I got excited and asked him if he went to Animazement, but he didn't seem to know what I was talking about.

You could have txt'd someone and asked them to come and buy it, then pay them later.

Re: Unexpected Dragon Ball in your life

I work in a thrift store and have seen numerous DB items pop up: a bunch of GT DVD singles, the U.S. Ultimate Battle 22, various t-shirts, a weird little Gohan figure with spinning ki blast, an unopened Master Roshi figurine that fit in a big hoi poi capsule, and an AMAZING Super Saiyan Goku figure....

Yeah, that's so sad! But I don't think you should let them go that cheap, especially since it's for a good cause. Why don't you put them on eBay and get a bit more?

What if the Canon series is all just one big dream of Gohan's in the movie universe and vice-versa? :shock: Wow. I love that idea. Also, I never noticed the magic shirt-begone dealie.

Re: Thoughts on DBZ Movie 1

One of the best openings (Piccolo's scream), excellent fight choreography, and music (placement). Anti-climactic ending, but awesome to see Gohan (or anyone other than Goku) beat the bad guy. The Ocean dub is better in some parts: Goku to Kami: "This is NONE of your business!" and Ocean's ...
