Viz's DragonBall manga "Display Boxes"

Post by DaemonCorps » Sat Mar 04, 2006 7:54 pm

I've ordered the DBZ Display Box for volumes 18-26 (or something like that) six months ago... and it's still not here!! :twisted: The same thing happened the last time I got a Display Box from Viz for the DBZ mangas.

Has this happened to anyone else, and if so what did you do to get Viz to finally send it to you?

:? Doesn't Viz have like an expiration date on those? Like it's a limited time offer or something? Meh. I dunno. :oops:
I really, really need to get back into the habit of posting.

Well, I'm pretty sure that I was way before the expiration date. I remember because I was so freaked out that I would get almost ripped off again, so I checked all of the small print stuff. I just recently e-mailed them, but so far they're sending me squat. :evil:

DaemonCorps, I know your pain. I sent in for my box within the first week of eligibility and it never came. Viz is a horrible company in terms of their handling of mail.

As such I simply converted my other 3 boxes into CD holders and am using a shelf in my room to get the giant spine image from the series uninterrupted.

Wasn't this a limited offer nearly a year ago?
Where's the beef?

Yeah, Kodoshin, since there are two different types of DB/Z manga (1st edition which are the taller ones and the later editions which are now released), I had to make a different box to fit my 1st ed's.

As for the Viz box sets, I've only gotten one out of the two different boxes I ordered. And I'm pretty sure that the only reason that I got it in the first place was because my mom called Viz. I clearly remember my mom telling the Viz rep something like, "you're fooling young children." Good ol' mom :lol: ; :evil: curse you, Viz :evil:
