What do you plan to do with your season sets?

Hello everyone, it's good to be back. I have not been on in quite a while so please forgive me for my ignorance if this topic has already been discussed. To all of you who much like myself was suckered into purchasing the orange bricks, and are going to replace them with the Dragon Boxes, what do you intend to do with them? Will you sell them to build funds for the Dragon Boxes, give them away, burn them, throw them in the trash etc.? Or will you simply keep them and leave them to rot on your DVD shelf? Whatever it is let me know about it.

As for me? Well, the discs would probably make pretty good toilet seat covers and I could use the books to wipe my ass xD

I'm going to buy the last set that I need for the full collection. I'll probably keep them around until my bothers are old enough, then I'll give the sets to them. Can't complain about crappy quality if it's free (also if I don't tell them it's crappy then they won't know).

I'll probably give them all my Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT season sets too, IF FUNi releases the Dragon Box for those as well.

I am hoping to get my hands on the Blu-Ray of all the Z movies before they go out of print. Those are for me.

Ever since the day the FUNiBoxes were announced, it's been my plan to 'trade in' my Season Sets towards them. I did the same thing with my movie singles as the Double Features were releasing.

There's an all-too-rare MovieStop barely ten minutes from my home, and I think this might be a good opportunity to actually become a member and get their discounts and better trade-in values from it.

Already sold'em.

I'm going to keep mine, I'm still finishing off my collection (not many left now), I'll still be buying the Dragon Boxes though.

I meant to sell mine off on eBay or Amazon, but never got around to it.

So, in all honesty, they'll probably sit on my shelf until I get their DragonBox equivalents. And then I'll find something to do with them... Maybe give them to a kid cousin, or something.

It's a times like this that I feel really glad I never bought them.

Sell, if Dragon Ball ever gets a FuniBOX.

Sold them the week the Dragon Box was announced!

I sold the ones I had around a year ago along with the two double feature sets I owned to various people here and on eBay.

Was planning on selling them on Ebay, but I've been watching complete sets go for under $150, so I'm trying to think of a more profitable avenue.

I think it'd be impossible to sell my Season one because when I got it from Best Buy I noticed a scratch on Disc 5 I mean I used an eyeglass cleaner and it worked but I don't think anyone will take it unless someone on the forum is willing to take them from $10~$15. Or maybe I could inform the buyer.

Like Kunzait, either sell them or give them away as I get the DBox equivalents.

I will probably sell my Season Set at Hastings eventually. Fortunately, I only bought Season One.

Which would suck. Gotta always be prepared for the worst case scenario.

Smart move, but I don't think you'll have to worry about it. On Amazon, the DBox is #15 in Anime, #12 in FUNimation, and #11 in Dragonball with other Dragonball releases that have been around for a long time (meaning more time to sell lots of copies) mostly being in the way of the DBox being any higher than that.[/b]

What if dub fans realize what they want aren't on the Dragon Boxes, and stick with their season sets? I'm sure that when DBox 2 rolls around, its Amazon rank won't be near as high as the first DBox if this happens.

Though I'm confident in FUNi since they've already bought the masters from Toei.

What, no one wants to burn them? Smash them with a sledgehammer? Throw them from something really high?

And then put it up on Youtube for us all to enjoy?

Meh... Oh well. I would, but I'm in the boat that didn't buy them.

We've had months for people to find out what exactly these sets are about. It's not really uncommon knowledge that the US broadcast music isn't on here. That, and FUNi knows what crowd they're appealing to on this one. It's not like they're expecting the "nine-year-olds" to eat this up this time.

That, and I'm sure they know that if they cancel this in mid-release, they'll lose a decent chunk of customers.

Good points.
