*puts on x-mas list and tallies which are edited and which aren't* I'll know which to replace, can't be that hard to find the right ones.

I just caved in and pre-ordered them both.

Ughhhh but I just started fucking collecting the tankobon!

Just buy the boxsets and sell on Ebay what you've collected so far.

I wonder if it is possible to order just the Z-Box without the volumes. Does anyone know?

I wonder if I can get just the boxes (since I have all of the manga).

maybe contact Viz?

I'm just glad people are reacting well to the boxes. I know I thought they were killer designs. I love how the keep using the dragon from the first daizenshuu on all the new releases (the Vizbigs, these boxes) it's pretty cool.

Do they still offer the display cases with the send-away pages in the manga?

That ended along time ago, but I would really hate to order the Z box set just for the box.

Damn these look good. I have all of the manga, though. It wouldn't make sense to buy the same B&W manga all over again, since Kaboom said they were the same. I'll just have the same versions altogether.

Wow, those boxes look phenomenal, the Z box has some of my favourite art from Daizenshuu 1.

Last time I saw these in my local comic book store preview magazine, they were in ugly tin lunch boxes, it's nice to see they've decided on something else.

If these had the paper quality of the Vizbig, I would totally jump ship.

They look pretty spiffy! I really like the choice of art with the Daizenshuu Shen Long in the background. I saw the Naruto Box at Mitsuwa for $175, the art on that one was kinda "meh"...

Well it looks like these aren't even coming out until February 2009 now.

Publisher: VIZ Media LLC (February 3, 2009)

Though Rightstuf still lists them as coming out Nov 4, 2008.

Pros:
The use of the picture of Shenlong in the background of each box (reminds me of the Daizenshuu).

Cons:
The same picture of Shenlong was used for each set.

The image of Shenlong is yellowish for one set and greyish for the other.

Suggestions:
A nice sequential image that is half on the Z set and half on the DB set that is completed when the sets are aligned would have been nice (like on the actaul spines of the tankoubon).

I'm so tempted to buy this, but I think I'll wait more.

Don't forget on the "cons" that it keeps getting delayed.

Do those come with the books just like if i went and bought them as well as the box or is it different papers and coloring and all that?

As far as we know it just contains the normal, edited, B&W paperback tankoubon.

The censorship isn't all that big. A few blasters, less Bulma-boobs, and #17 punching through a guy's head instead of putting a bullet in him. Those are the biggest things I can think of.

EDIT: Oh, and lipless Mr. Popo. That part is kinda weird.

Looks cool. Too bad I'm getting the kanzenban.

I'd get the Kanzenban, but I really can't pay the shipping fees right now.

And I want to buy something I understand.
