Won't Mad Man get these or is this a special US only thing. Hmm, actually the way the rep was talking in the video it seemed to be US only. I don't know...

Well, I seem to have avoided your question and thrown my own in there. Sorry. :D
Um, dunno if this is what you meant, but Mad Man doesn't have any kind of distribution rights in UK, and if they do they havn't put anything out in the UK.
We seem to be completely lacking of any DBZ release, outside of video games.

Also SSJSteve, you'll want to check here for shipping rates to Europe. You can pay more for a faster serivce.

I thought they were all about the UK. Hmm, OK just ignore this crazy old man.

If your intent on a Madman release, take for a fact that the rep at Otakon was for FUNimation which handles distribuion for the North American market. Madman may well follow suit depending on sales for this re-re-release of the same product they already have. Mind you they did liked the series in 4:3 :lol:

I'm not. But I'm sure other people here might be.

Not me anyway. Madman cater for Region 2 about as much as Funimation, so may as well go straight to the source.

And for Aussies, isn't it obligatory in Australia (or New Zealand maybe?) for dvd players to be regionless? I think I heard that. So they may as well get the Funi release too if it's better (especially if you don't want those big yellow PG ratings ruining the box art!).

It will be interesting to see a video comparison between the Dragon Box Movie releases and the Funi blu-rays.

The Second GT listing, might be a for a cheapened release like they recently did with the first few seasons of DBZ.

Not yet, been busy most of today, just had a few chances to check Daizex.
Tommorow nights I'll most likely pre-order.
Looking forward to it though!

Yeah I think I’m going to pre-order tomorrow, I worked it out and it comes to about £35 so I’m happy :).

Thank you very much. :)

Dang, that's good value... especially considering how well the Australian dollar is holding up right now. The only worry I have about pre-ordering this is that Funi will abort the release halfway through.

I think that they're smart enough by this point to not do that. At least, I'm hoping that such is the case.

Anyone have a clue when Amazon stops taking pre-orders? 2 or 3 weeks before release?

Kuririn: Yeah, and your dad put his finger away too.
