Dragon Box Opinion

DBAlpha · Post by **DBAlpha** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 1:39 pm

I have no idea if there's a topic on this already, so here we are.Well i was wondering how this Dragon Box release from Funimation will affect other fans across the world. Myself i only have the "GT and Movies" Dragon Box so this foreign release is perfect. I'm going to have to import this from the United States. I find it very cheap, so why not? Anyone else going to import these who doesn't live in the US?

I will definitely be importing them, over here in the UK all we have is the 'LET THAT CHILD ALONE' release.

I can't even find a shop which sells Dragonball merchandise other than the manga

Yeah I'm from the UK so I’ll be importing from the U.S!

I can't even find a shop that sells the manga

I got my manga from Amazon! The only Dragonball stuff I can find is a few DVD's and some games, that’s about it.

Man it sucks to be a fan from the UK.

Forbidden Planet sells lots of Dragonball manga, VizBigs too.

They sell the manga in Borders and WHSmiths near me. Anyway, I had always thought that for me to buy a US NTSC release it would have to be a decent release, so I will gladly import the Dragon Boxes.

Most big book shops have them too (also from the UK), or at least some of them. The DB portion seems to be stocked a lot more than the Z portion. I bought most of mine from an Orbital Manga store. Smaller book shops usually have one small rack filled with Naruto and Bleach...

Never seen the DVD's on a store shelf in the UK. Even in the massive stores on Oxford Street. All you ever get the first 3 movies.

That said, I won't be importing the Dragon Box or anything because I'm not that fussed about the anime.

I don't care that my account is already overdrawn by £127.37, I'm still importing!

Probably on Amazon UK's Used & New, sometimes you can get some pretty good deals there if you're lucky enough (for example, I got a brand-spankin'-new Spider-Man Deluxe Trilogy there for about 7 or 8 quid).

[size=0]Doctor Who Series One in TARDIS packaging for a tenner! Win!

By the by, kenshiro87, no sig images, I'm afraid.

Non signature on le image, et votre grenouille a mange mon dejeuner, monsieur. Tu es completement debile.

HMV had that trilogy as part of the ''3 for £20'' deal a month back.

Amazon & Play sell the Dragonball DVD's, though I usually go through eBay, and most book stores have the manga available to order and in some cases available to take away. It's through a different publisher though, but they've bought the rights from Viz so it's the same to be honest.

Like Mr Rory said though, Forbidden Plant & Traveling Man sell the manga too, they usually stock imports and have been known to have a couple of season sets available.

If you're able to get on Daizex though (the internet), it's fairly easy to get Dragonball stuff anyways!

That was the regular trilogy, my friend; we're talkin' Deluxe.

Black box, silver web on the side with a silver spider in the middle? If i'm wrong then yeah.. Deluxe! :p

Though i'm sure the version I just described was deluxe.

... F***.

Well, technically, I got it for free, since they sent the wrong trilogy first.

See, i was considering buying the singles over here, but i thought it would be a better idea if i could save more money and just buy these new FUNi boxes. There's just too many singles and i'd rather get essentially the same release but by spending less ^_^
