BWA HA HA HA.

As a owner of all of the original Dragon Boxes I feel gutted.

Seasons 6-9 are already pretty decent so I may just go up Season 5 at most. ... I need to get a job!
Tight on money? I'd sell crack just to buy these new Dragonbox sets.

I lost my job about a week ago, but I'm still going to buy them!

Hopefully I'll have a new job by the time the first one comes out. Regardless, I've saved enough money.

Call me crazy, I'm not even a hardcore collector of DBZ DVDs or anything (i'll probably start a collection as soon as the DB season sets come out, then work my way up to the dragon boxes. I'm mostly an old ~*VHS*~ nerd. yes, dub and all). I'm just vaguely curious how bad they look on a standard TV, and the contents inside. Maybe when everyone starts selling them off I'll try to purchase some.

When I first heard this announcement this afternoon, I was seriously thinking NO ORANGE BRICKS FOR ME, but then when everyone mentioned selling them I was like.... *HMMM.* Oh the irony. I still want the Dragon Box sets more than anything, since this is finally the definitive thing.

The Dragonbox DVDs look great on a standard TV. I still own some. They're nice.

Who cares, we will now own the original Dragon Box and the American Dragon Box! This is going to be awesome!

Perhaps FUNi got the license for these when they renewed their license for the DB series from Toei?

In a few years, when I'm done studying and have a job again, I'll have French boxes, Japanese Dragonboxes, and possibly the English Dragonboxes. That is only if I haven't ridden myself of my addiction to Dragonball, but I think it's slightly less strong than what it used to be so maybe I won't be a lunatic that buys all those releases xD

That's when AB got the Dragonbox masters (not remastered video, sadly), so probably, yeah.

This was a day I never expected to happen. I feel happy for everyone who has been waiting for this, but I feel sorry for those who just finished fleshing out cash for the season sets.

By the way, I believe this is the first instance of a fifteen page thread popping up in the time I am sleeping.

This is like the most shocking thing this year next to Michael Jackson's death...

Seriously, I'm not even exaggerating over here... I'm flat out shocked exept this shock is the good kind.

Kendamu · Post by **Kendamu** » Sat Jul 18, 2009 6:05 pm

I wish pre-orders were up already so I could get mine...

Metalwario64 · Post by **Metalwario64** » Sat Jul 18, 2009 6:05 pm

Hmm... I wonder if the dub will have the Japanese music, or the broadcast audio... or both?

Japanese music. I seriously doubt Faulconer's/Johnson's would be on considering this is for the "hardcore" fanbase only.

To be fair, it should have all audio options. I wouldn't want anyone to be dismissed about this version.

It sucks that it won't have the older Funi singles audio, They shouldn't of changed any voices after the 2nd season.

This version could be absolutely perfect and someone here will still have a problem with some weird obscure little thing. I don't particularly care if the broadcast music is on there because I won't be watching the broadcast version. At all.

Yeah. I'm kinda nerdy like that.

If the broadcast version is on there, then whatever. That's nice for everyone who wants it.

I'm a dub fan, and Faulconer fan too. I'm just saying that it's highly unlikely.
