How does one go about searching for the saga of goku madman release on ebay? Everytime I've looked for it all I can find is the Kidmark cut DVD set.

Instead of doing a worldwide search and trying to trawl through the hundreds of entries, just use ebay.com.au, the search will be within Australia, and there are plenty of boxes available.

People should grab them while they can, because when FUNimation churn out a DB season set and these aren't available anymore, I am totally going to be the "I told you so" guy pissing everyone off.

I believe that the 2-disc "Collection" sets for Dragon Ball have already been discontinued in Australia now. The show is available in the 2 larger boxes that contain these sets but they are no longer available to order individually. This is probably foreshadowing a release like Captain Awesome said.

But who knows how long it'll be until the first 13 episodes are relinquished to FUNimation? I wouldn't mind that. Though I wouldn't see a point to a Dragon Ball Season Set for those who have all the singles. I mean the singles already have the original Japanese audio on them. I think Dragon Ball was handled very well. Other than the credits, but whatever.

Then again, if GT will be in 4:3, and then they'd release a 4:3 Dragon Ball set, that wouldn't be so bad either. In fact, that would be fricken awesome. Unless the colors are washed out and the lines disappear, then I'm just gonna go crazy. I predicted that after releasing all of Dragon Ball Z with their heads and feet cut off, they'd go re-release the 4:3 of the show and call that the true way it was meant to be seen. A genius marketing tactic when you think about it. Now that GT is going to possibly be in 4:3, it seems all the more possible. And if they suddenly decide by the last or second to last "Season" that the Widescreen should go and re-release the show in some other fashion from the beginning, making it another ill-fated project by FUNimation, I'm driving down to Texas and kicking whoever the hell is in charge right in the damn head.

Honestly, I hope these get a re-release in some form, so that way I can finally toss away my bootleg "Tournament Saga" dvd, it was supposed to be the Funi version, and it is, but it's bootleg and has shit quality. Also I want an unedited Saga of Goku without having to use a region free player.
