Really? Huh. You can usually find the Z volumes on Amazon Japan for around $250-$300 used if you count shipping rates. That isn't exactly cheap, and new copies are a different story, but I wouldn't spend $1,000 on a volume. Heck, it's almost cheaper these days just to import the two Japanese Dragon Box volumes than to buy the American ones! Granted, you can't be guaranteed about how good the condition will be if you decide to import via Amazon Japan, but some sellers that ship internationally will have pictures posted.

No matter what method you choose, owning the whole series via Japanese Dragon Boxes is going to hurt your wallet a lot!

Well, whenever I look for stuff that's hard to find from Japan, I generally go to Mandarake. Now, the site is a bit unruly and poorly translated, and there are times when you might order something only to later be informed that they don't have said item anymore (No worries though, they only charge you for the items they can actually send you. If you order an item and it turns out it's been sold, they simply cancel your order and never even send you a bill)... All this being because they're a second-hand store and the items they put on the site are also up for sale in their store shelves and can be snagged by some in-store customers without the online store being updated... Which is why I generally look to see if they've got the items in stock at their SAHRA warehouse, as that one's the online store's warehouse, so if something is listed as being in stock there... they definitely still have it.

That said, I had a look, and found that they had two of the boxes in said one warehouse that's guaranteed to have them.
Dragon Ball
Z - Part 1

And two more, that may or may not actually still be there...
Z - Part 2
The movies

I was able to get the DBZ boxes for about $200 per box (+ absurd shipping costs) using Buyee & Yahoo Auctions. Got the movies box on eBay for about $180, and a like-new DBGT box (complete with outer box and extras) for about $120 on Amazon Japan.

Yahoo Auctions has the best deals, but Buyee's shipping cost for an item like the Dragon Box is ridiculous because of the' absurd size & weight (both DBZ boxes were 17lb / 8kg together). It pretty much evens out with say, Amazon, where the cost per item is higher but shipping is cheaper. You should be able to find DB and Z for about $300 a box, DBGT and the movies anywhere from $150 to $250 per box. Probably more, depending on how you prefer the condition of the item.

I so wish I could own the Japanese dragonboxes. I won't purchase just anything unless the items are new or in like-new condition with a few exceptions. If you have the money OP I'd go for it! I'm still tempted to little bit little once I save up enough.

Welp, I'll be sure to steer clear of Ebay for those if I ever decide to get some. :lol:
