The easiest way for Dutch people to order official dragon ball media is trough Zavvi because they ship to the Netherlands.
All of the orange bricks they sell via retailers are import.

There is one Dutch release and they are the big green dvd's! :D And 8 dvd's with the first episodes with ocean dub! I got them all.

Finally got the rest of the old single releases for the 4:3 versions of the original thirteen DBZ movies as noted in the Christmas thread, and now i own them all in both fullscreen and widescreen.

Here's a pic showing them all together.

DB collection related goals as of now:

1.) Find decent priced copy of Dragon Box Z Vol. 4 (Done)

2.) Collect rest of manga

3.) Get rest of Daizenshuu (2-7)

I have that set too. It's a great thing to have for any collection even if, like me, you already owned all of Super.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:

Heeeeeeey! looks like we was competing against each other because I just recently got them back as well haha I also just got in a trade from a friend, all of the Ultimate Uncut sets. Idk...that Intro on those sets always used to get me hyped up haha

Edit- I was so scared the DVDs that I ordered would be scratched or the cases messed up etc etc because they're starting to get some age on em, luckily that wasn't the case. you should try to see if you can get find the bardock single. it's pretty pricey now.
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

I've actually got the Bardock special DVD, i managed to find a used good condition copy on Amazon a couple years ago which was about $15 or so. Definitely a great bargain when compared to some of the ones i've seen floating around more recently especially on eBay.

I'll see if i come across a decent priced copy of it at some point or maybe you could even jump on it yourself, though that's going to be pretty tough because the lowest one i've found just quick searching was used for $39 on Amazon which isn't too bad but there's no way in hell i'm shelling out $60+ like what some of the others are going for. Boy i sure got lucky snagging mine when i did.

I posted this elsewhere, but I now own the ENTIRETY of the original work! In addition to just owning all of the manga like any good fan should, it'll help a lot with Trivia for the Rewatch threads since beforehand I only had the first third digitally and Saiyan/Namek as Full Colours. I have Kai but it'd take a while just to watch the requisite five episodes each week.

Oh man, these things came out so quickly! They'd usually do a release once every three months. I'm impressed.

Oh, I love that. That's so awesome! I was honestly seriously considering these, but ultimately decided against it because I have the Tankōbon release, the full Japanese color release, and the Viz Bigs. But I've still always wanted these (even though, space is kind of limited). Man... Enjoy!

Guessing for the 2013/14 Blu-Rays Funimation spent the time between releases deciding what to crop out of the picture? This time evidently they're just repackaging the 30th anniversary discs so the shorter timeframe makes sense.

I think ultimately I would have preferred the ViZ Bigs because they keep the colour pages coloured, but there's one advantage to these two carry-box releases:

Yup these Steelbooks are basically the 30th anniversary set repackaged. Hell when I insert the disks into my PS4 it says Dragon Ball Z 30th anniversary.

To be fair, it has been 30 years of DBZ. Also, what's the official name of this release?

Honestly, there's been so many here lately that sometimes I don't remember if I posted about them or not? I recently got all of Dragonball GT DVD singles even though I already had the orange bricks. and I got all of the ultimate uncut DVDs because I used to love watching it when it aired on Toonami, God...like..1 time it feels like? haha I remember it not showing long on there? :?:

Yeah I ended up buying three different VHS tapes of the Bardock special(one was too damaged to even play and fell apart as soon as I took it out of the box, another was too faded to see anything, the third played fine but promptly fell apart after I ejected it) and it still cost me considerably less then the DVD.

As for my recent purchases during my two-month absence from here, I got the original DVD release of Tree of Might(the jewel-case version, always wondered why DVDs in Jewel-cases never caught on) and the Freeza Clash and Death of a Prince singles(had no clue the former was so difficult to find on DVD, ended up paying 20 bucks for the uncut VHS which is the most i've paid for one of these singles so far)
