I wonder if they'll bundle Movie 1 with it...probably not.

And it BETTER have dub w/Japanese score because I am NOT watching Season 1 & 2 with Nathan Johnson's score. Yuck.

Interesting you should note that, because I also heard that this is happening, too.

Ok, but seriously.
What are the chances we might get the Playdia Not-OVA in this set?

We probably won't get that, but who knows? Funi is just doing everything these days.

I knew the DBZ fanbase would have as much power as the Star Wars fanbase to GET WHAT WE WANT! :D :D

My long, long, long search to get the dragon boxes is finally over!

This is still so Bittersweet to those of us who bought the Orange Bricks...

I'll probably just buy the first two to replace the first two Orange Bricks, but I'll probably end up getting all of them.

Out of respect for FUNi, I kept my mouth shut because I didn't see anyone noticing it. Figured this on Tuesday when this was posted.

Note the bottom-left in the image.

Anywho, can't wait! So glad I did not buy the orange bricks.

...

FUNimation...I can't believe this. You're doing it. You've done it! You're doing it right! You've listened! Several other short exclamatory sentences! And it's July, so it's not even a cruel joke!

Oh wow, I cannot wait for these to come out. I'm surprised a bit at the price, too - compared to when the sets came out in Japan, isn't $80 kind of a steal?

Anyway, now I have to wonder about such things as release date and how and where to order them (I assume this'll be an online-only release but I suppose you never know). I'm hoping these aren't pre-order only like the Japanese Dragon Box, but I'm sure there will still be enough for everyone.

I'm sorry to everyone that feels cheated by buying all of the season sets, but I'm so delighted that I held off on them with just a little faith. I feel pretty rewarded now, that's for sure.

Wow.

Don't give a shit about Z straight through Garlic, so I hope these are speedy and will get to the Cell arc quickly. But, I wouldn't mind getting those books. Any information about what's in them? I doubt they'll be sold separately.

But yeah, I'm kind of caught off guard. Maybe I should hold out for DRAGON BOX GT...?

Ouch, and I just finished my orange brick collection this week. Well, knowing me I'll probably cave in and buy these too. Damn you Funimation, damn you.
