but I digress and move onto a move relevant topic.

It's nice that people have calmed down about it not being 7 discs.
Can you just stop this? I'd hate to see this thread locked because you have to act so pompous to the guy.

Ironically, talking to some of the mods, they are more concerned about your topics having NO relevance to the discussion at all, while mine are specifically related to discussions going on.

I completely agree. I think he's supposed to be a little less perrywinkle and a little more robin's-egg blue.

I see your point (but I've shown you why you're wrong). Anyway, I have a question about the original Dragon Box Z. Which characters had their own profiles?

Hey is there a correct comparison yet or are we gonna have to wait until Mike or someone posts proper pics?

Shown me I was wrong on what exactly? That you are a kid who will grow out of it? (Pretty sure you proved me right on that one...)

Grow out of what? I told you that I don't react to a way that amuses people - which I have always done. I also pointed out that you aren't very smart for starting so much trouble, yet you say others aren't.

GoC is trying to be nice and helpful, but you guys aren't exactly helping. Just provoking.

That said, let's all just drop the argumentative, needless, pointless bullcrap right now, and get back on topic, alright? That means NO more responses on the matter, no last words... zilch. Stop. Now. Or I'll just start editing or deleting posts accordingly.

(Sorry.)

Anyway, has anyone got an answer to my question about the Dragon Box Z because I want to know which ones might be on our sets.

Sigh, I still have to wait until November 17, 2009 at least to watch the Dragon Box, I hate you Netflix

Anyway, regarding the Dragon Box, did anyone mention if there was a trailer for the next Dragon Box or anything Dragon Ball related?

Go take a look on... page 38, I think? Maybe 37. I have a whole mess of what should be "correct" pics of the Dragon Box vs the Pioneer and UUE releases.

Well, so far I've gotten to the second disc. The first disc has some random Funimation preview for some anime I didn't catch the name of, and then disc 2 has a preview for Dragon Ball Season 1 (or 2... also didn't catch it lol).

Anyways, the yellow sticker/wrapping thing around the cardboard box on my D Box is sticking out. Like it wasn't glued down quite good enough. Anyone know if Super Glue would be too much to put on and possibly hurt it? Like make turn it a nasty yellow color or something?

Just so we're clear, I don't believe I've ever said godofchaos is a "nice guy". I usually call him an ass, but then again, he knows me and that I respect him. He's pretty easy to work with, unless you yourself are being a smart-ass. And don't think I'm defending him or calling you a smart-ass.

Anyway, I'd rather not get in the middle of all this and I take some offense to getting dragged into it unwillingly (but don't feel too bad about it; I'm not pissed or anything)... So anyway...

I ordered my Dragon Box from Amazon, so no comparisons from me until then. It's gonna be so weird having the domestic and Japanese Dragon Boxes sitting next to other on my shelf.

I must have missed it, but what was your question?

He was asking "Which characters had their own profiles?".

Same thing with mine. I'm just living with it, being super careful.

disturbed001 wrote:I also want to ask, those of you who have the DBox and has shown it I've noticed that you guys have been putting in on your shelves with the box spine showing instead of the partial image, why is that?

I have never liked showing the image. Back in the VHS days, I never showed it. I kinda like to show them off, so if someone walks in and just see the pic they might not know what it is. But with the spine facing they will know. Plus I just think it looks nicer. I like everything to be in order(ABC order), it would just bug me with only a pic and no title showing. Like if we never get a DB and DBGT dragonbox it is gonna bug me that everything doesn't match.

There are trailers that play when you first pop in each disc, before the menu loads. One of the discs has a promo for Dragon Ball Season 2.

I don't see a Dragon Box listing in Netflix at all.

Oh, to anyone wanting to pick this up but not online. A friend of mine who knew nothing about this coming out was at Best Buy(here in Indianapolis) and he saw it out for sale. He asked me if I knew what it was since he just bought all the orange season sets. So people might want to check their Best Buys, or FYEs I know they have broke street dates before.

Wait, there are only 4 character profiles in this first Dragon Book? Then they must be saving more for the other Dragon Books. Another note to add to my comparison... Thanks.

I have mine on my bookshelf next to my other DBZ stuff, spine image facing outward. It sits next to my previous favorites: the Pioneer-released DBZ Movies 1-3.
