If that isn't lucky I don't know what is. I had to get mine for $250, used, with just the DVDs.

Yeah, I worked up the price at the time, and I think it was cheaper on a per movie basis to get that as opposed to the singles released at the time. And it includes the unreleased DB movie #1. It was after that came in that I decided to buy ALL the singles. So I started grabbing them on pre-order for the DB singles (at 25% off each) and grabbing whatever DBZ single was onsale as well for roughly the same %-age off.

So I assume the set of the dragonbox movies I found for 500 dollars is too much for it?

EDIT: Do those single sets with the yellow backgrounds have a specific name? I can't seem to find them on the internet except amazon.jp and cdjapan.

500 dollars for Dragon Box The Movies is way too much. $250-$300 is about as much as you would want to pay for it. It's been sold for that amount numerous times here on the forum. As for the singles, no official name to the best of my knowledge.

Is there anyone looking to sell their movie box for like 300$?

I know this is probably a total noob question, but I got tired of looking through a shit load of bad websites and pages of threads so here goes:

What exactly is necessary to watch the dragon box singles on an American TV?
All I want is a nice simple answer, I don't want to do any hacking or rewiring to my DVD player if at all possible, so if there is a region free or whatever DVD player that runs perfectly fine on a American TV, or if you have any other suggestions, point me the way.

Also, is the shipping outrageous on Amazon.jp, because I found three singles I wanted for about 83 bucks, but since I didn't have an account I couldn't find out a shipping estimate.

Anyway, Thanks guys.

Region free player is the simplest option.

While I was waiting, I made a comparison shot of the pic ECT posted. Jesus, it was frustrating as hell aligning them. Here it is (the wrinkly lines were from having to resize the D-Box pic):

Damn, Funi made Gotenks's jacket a whole different color. Funi's colors are brighter, but the remastered colors just look so much sharper

If this set somehow isn't sold out in 10 weeks, I'll definitely buy it. (10 weeks because I only have about 100$ right now, and I'll have 300$ in that long if I don't buy anything.) Just wanted to mention it. Extremely unlikely, but still... And while I don't actually live in the UK, Norway is pretty close.

Yes, it's un-cut, seeing as it's the original Japanese version. No dubs, no subs.

Its still for Sale at the moment if anyone is interested. For $300, Looking at shipping costs is quite ridiculous since the item weighs abut 2.2kg. But if anyone is interested at all please send a PM

Interesting... I thought my fascination with dbz was over..

Well, I will buy as soon as I have official FUNi subs in .srt format.

If this has been done please post or PM me.

If this has not been done then can someone please be nice enough to run SubRip on the FUNi movies so that we can have subtitles?

Here is a link to info about SubRip http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive ... subrip.cfm

I wouldn't mind having Ocean Groups voices from dbz movies 1-3 as well but I know better than to ask for someone to give me the actual audio from those movies.

Get yourself one of these. I own it and I have to say it's awesome, it even plays the Australian R4 DVDs perfectly.

Edit: Oh man, I just realized this reply is insanely late. Oh well, it's still a good option for anyone who wants to watch their import DVDs.

Does anyone know if there is a One Piece or Naruto or any other anime movie (or episode) collection that is as well made and expensive as the Dragonball Movies Dragonbox? As far as I've seen, Dragonball is the only series to get such an elaborate and high quality DVD collection.

YouTube · Post by **Hujio** » Thu Jun 26, 2008 7:15 pm

There are quite a few (i.e. Dr. Slump, Kinnikuman, etc...), but nothing so elaborate for One Piece or Naruto, since they're still in syndication. When the series are over, I'm sure they'll see similar DVD/Blu-ray boxes.

Alright thanks. I noticed that the Dr. Slump movie box was also made in 16:9 format, I guess Toei didn't just do that for Dragonball, or maybe it's just for Toryamas work.

ALL movies are released in 16:9 in Japan, as it is the industry standard.
