I understand some Spanish, so I could probably reasonably follow the subtitles, and I'd like to own a version of Dragon Ball with all the OP/ED credits (as of now I own the Blue Bricks). I also really dig the packaging. But then there's the price to consider. :crazy:

EDIT: I've decided I'm better off getting the Japanese Dragon Boxes, a region-free player, and keeping the Blue Bricks so that I have a version I understand. But I want to experience the show in its original presentation also. I have a problem. :lol:
Naw, I have a problem lol What made you decide to get the Dragon Box over the Blu-rays, might I ask?

Honestly just me adding the figures up lol. Both are expensive :crazy:, but I can get the Dragon Boxes for a lower price. That, and they're a more celebrated product than these Selecta-Vision blu-rays, it seems.
The story of DRAGON BALL starts from the moment Goku met Bulma. I don't really mind the Z, so long as it's understood that it's not the true beginning of the story.

I actually prefer the Goku vs Tenshinhan and Goku vs Piccolo Jr. rivalries to the Goku vs Vegeta rivalry.

I got the rental disc version if DB and Z for around 150 each they came with no cases but all arrived in great shape (minus a disc or two with light scratches but still play 100%) threw em in custom cases and was all set. Very pleased overall

Thanks a lot for mentioning this! I managed to find a listing of these for DB. :)
