Reevaluating the value of past purchases

I don't regret any of my purchases. The orange bricks weren't too expensive, considering it was only $30-40 every four months or so. I never owned these episodes before, and would have wanted them even with the announcement of DBZ in HD.

I'm a collector freak, so for me, if new material comes out, that just means more stuff i have the opportunity to buy. i have every orange brick set except season 2 right now and plan to own all of them. I'm not concerned with them becoming outdated because eventually everything becomes outdated. I mean seriously, the next time you go out and buy something dragonball related, do you really think you won't see it again in a different format?

I'm pretty much the same way. First I bought all of the GT and Z singles and movies. Then I bought the UUE versions of the first twenty-some episodes. And I bought the UUE version of Dead Zone. Which I ended up re-buying when it came packaged with the UUE versions of Tree of Might and World's Strongest. Now I'm buying the Season sets. And the double features (which, given their quality, are actually worth it in my opinion). I anticipate buying some more DBZ releases in the future as well (you know, I'll definitely need the twenty-year-old show on Blu-Ray when it's more affordable).

All things considered, the only series that has yet to screw me is Dragonball. I got 12 very well-packaged sets (counting both the edited and the $45 import of volume 1), a decent and consistent dub, and only had to make one re-purchase (re-buying movies 3 and 4 for the sake of getting movie 2 in the package, which thankfully was on sale for about $15). But there's something nostalgic about Z for me, so I'll keep re-buying it until they stop milking it.

For the record, I will be buying the 100 episode re-versioning if it ever reaches my local Best Buy, as well as the redub of that dub. Naturally, I'll also need to get the singles released for that version with the Faulconer music in the background. Funimation loves me.

I decided I was going to buy the Dragonbox singles (thanks SSJToreto), but I don't regret it at all.

Maybe I am regretting my orange bricks, but I guess it isn't too much of a problem.

In fact, I'm hoping they release them in lots of 3 episodes.

The idea of having around 40 more DVDs to buy is awesome to me.

I'd cry if that happened.

I think the only DB thing I bought that I immediately regretted was Taiketsu on GBA, but thankfully Best Buy took it back and gave me cash the same day I bought it.

I wish I never bought some of the Funimation stuff I have. Though, admittedly, I don't have much. What I haven't gotten rid of just sits and collects dust.
