FUNimation Dragon Box Z #1 (In-Hands) Discussion

I'd be willing to bet that the TV Specials will come out along with the movies. Then again, all we have confirmed are the DBZ TV Series and its 13 movies... When and if a Dragon Box ZA MOOOOVVIIIIEEEESSSS comes out, I hope they go on to add the 4 Dragonball movies as well and make it a worthwhile Dragon Box... Or Boxes... They did after all say that they have the rights to DB Movie 1...

My box shipped from Right Stuff on November 5th and I haven't received it yet. Are there European fans that have already gotten their box ?

A separate Dragon Box for the movies and/or TV specials would be a great idea. I've read someone saying that the picture of Gohan is going to be shortened on the spine. If they release a set with movies (and maybe TV specials), they can complete the spine!

The spine photo is drastically cut in half because the US Dbox is FAR smaller than the real ones....which I truly hate about them.

My Dragon Box got shipped out on the 6th of November from AxelMusic, and I'm still waiting for it! Hopefully it will be here tomorrow.

Couldn't they've just re-sized the image?

You really didn't expect them to be the same size right?

I could see them releasing a "dragon box" release of the specials, but I don't expect them to have them on the dbox set...but it would be pretty cool. Even give it its own dvd case and make it part of the image in the box (like the dragon book) ;D

In any case, I do think that the there should be a "Dragon Box" release of the TV specials and possibly the Playdia Footage. If they do include it with the batch of episodes that each of the TV specials aired alongside with, even if it having to pay a little extra more, that would be awesome. That's the option I would prefer anyways. If not, I'm fine with a separate "Dragon Box" release.

I hope so too. The playdia footage should be included as a special add on to something...

Yes, yes. Forceful and rigorous, indeed.

This is what you're roughly looking at getting.

Gohan's pic will be raised up. Otherwise his head will come just right above the text on the actual boxes.

I'm surprised nobody is comparing spines the way we used to compare aspect ratios.

So, any major retail store going to have this out at 12AM? I'm thinking of just getting it at a local retail store since one of my bills pushed my funds around 5 dollars short of the rightstuff order(thankfully no funds will go through) and causing an overdraft.

I suspect Target and and major retail stores to have it up in 9 hrs from now. Central Standard Time.

Excuse us for enjoying a domestic Dragonball release once in a great while. Yeah, the US dub music isn't on there anymore. Too bad. I guess you'll just have to watch it the way it was meant to be seen in the first place.

All you're doing is adding more fuel to his fire with that post. People telling me or other people how I should be watching a show just pisses me off.

The Target and Walmart website listings both say the set won't be available in store.

I mean... Granted, the set isn't technically out yet, but, all the same. YMMV.

Yeah, you're right. What he's doing in this thread is exactly what he was doing toward me in PM and why I chose not to PM with him any further... so he came in here and shat all over this thread. Irritability got the best of me and I fired back at him. My point is still valid, but it is a low blow toward a thread that's been pretty nice so far.

Sorry 'bout that.

So who else loved how Ginyu's head appeared in the dragon book? It made me giddy XD

Here's part of it from Funimation's Flickr. I don't mind it to be honest....
