I just got the confirmation from Amazon that my Dbox has been shipped :D.

So it should arrive on my doorstep in two weeks time.

Looks like I've gotta import this first set from America. I'll get it much sooner, plus it's actually a Region Four release :D.

All Funi DVDs are Region 1 2 4. That is one of the very few things good about Funi.

The DragonBox is only regions 1 and 4, if I'm remembering correctly.

As were the Double Feature movie sets, I think.

You're right. In this case, the DBox is Regions 1 and 4 only.

I have 14 episodes left to watch this weekend. Then it's on to waiting for the release date of Box 2 to be announced. (Tic.....toc.....tic.....toc.....)

While my set has yet to be shipped, my Amazon account lists it as "shipping soon" which generally means it will be shipped the next day. I'm not exactly sure how long I should expect it to take as I don't know if Amazon is going to ship it via Canada Post or UPS, though my money (well, it's free shipping, so my Monopoly money) is on Canada Post as that is how they shipped the Dragon Ball Season Two portion of the order.

Oddly, they shipped another package, which I had selected free shipping on, via UPS, so you never can tell. So, I should have my copy in hand by next Friday at the latest.

Anticipation: rising.

Isn't the second Dragon Box Z going to be released about two months after the first one?

My Amazon shipping estimate says November 23rd, but that's alright. It's probably because I pre-ordered near the tail-end of the pre-ordering period.
I'm patient. I can wait. :3

Besides, $47.99 is an amazing deal for something that normally goes for $79.98.


I may even eventually try to sell my old singles through Amazon once the DBoxes approach those episodes. Does Amazon do alright for that sort of thing?

I'm just gonna say this now. I hope you read the rules because those corrections were made by a mod on the forum not automatically. I don't know why people can't spell check. I use Firefox so it tells me the mistakes so I don't make them. But please read the rules before you join. Now onto the topic. I still haven't started watching the episodes in order I've been just going to random ones. I better start now.

Just finished up Disc 3 (and believe me, between work, school and ladyfriend I still manage to cram as much DBOX in there as possible)...and I will say one thing about the Dragon Box:

After watching other releases of this show for so many years, it's pretty much like watching the series for the first time. I even had the stomach for episodes 16 and 18 (which I hate unconditionally). Despite the arguments over extras in future sets, I have to say I have no complaints with this.

And the packaging is so shiny it's almost sexy.

Go onto Windows Office Word and paste your post on there and see if it's correct.
