Dragon Box 3 discussion

[Castor Troy]

Getting sick of Borders putting Dbox 3 on backorder, but I need to save the money.

[jordanator]

OMG when are Amazon.co.uk/Supermart USA gonna get DBOX 3?!
It says only 4 DBOX1'S left so i hope they hurry up!!

[SSJSteve]

Yeah I'm kinda getting worried...I really hope they get them in.I'd rather not spend 126 Euros when i could possibly get all 3 for 70-85...One thing i noticed is that supermart only have DB3 on Play.com....Why not 1,2 and 3?

They do have Volume 1, and Volume 3. Not sure about 2 though.

If you can't be bothered to wait, buy DBox 1 and 2 from Amazon.co.uk and volume 3 from Play.com. Where does it say four boxes left?

[jordanator]

Yes!!!!:):):)
I just found DBOX1, 2 and 3 on Play.com!!! I had previously thought that only DBOX3 was available on Play, but after a while of bored searching, I found all 3!!! And way cheaper than Axelmusic, too!!
I live in Ireland, and Play doesn't deliver to Ireland, so I ordered it to my uncle's house in England. So when my Dad's over there, he can pick it up...
I am kinda worried though... Once, I ordered Assassin's Creed 2 Black Edition (great game, btw) to my uncle's house, and I was shocked to see no more than a plastic coating over the box (the one you get on DVDs, games, etc.) and a 3 cm long slash on the actual box... Why? This is where I'm getting worried. If that plastic cover is on my Dragon Boxes, then no doubt they will be destroyed (coming all the way from USA). I ordered from the user Supermart, and I am just wondering, if anyone has ordered from Supermart, how was their box/boxes packed? Hopefully at least a cardboard box...
It'll take a while, but I will have my Dragon Boxes!

Btw, it said only four boxes left on Amazon.co.uk when I clicked on DBOX1, and accompanied by ''only four left'' was ''Order Soon'' or something like that.....

Those who are buying from Supermart, do you get hit by customs charges?
I'm considering getting it from nextgenheaven for £29.99 because they're here in the UK

[jordanator]

Well, on my order it said free delivery, and I live in Ireland, so methinks it's free!

I ordered Dragonball Season 1 and GT Season 1 from them and the packaging wasn't good. They didn't use a cardboard box it was just a large padded envelope. They put an elastic band around the DVD's and the DVD's were sliding around inside the envelope. So they got pretty damaged.

I've never been charged customs when I've bought from them. I was going to buy from nextgenheaven, but the item location on the Dragon Box page says "Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States".

@SSJSteve I'm sorry to hear that...
I sent them an email asking if they can put it in a box,so hopefully i'll get a reply or they will put it in a box...
Can't wait XD

I sold GT to a friend about one week later. So everything was fine.
I hope you get your DBoxes in good condition, and enjoy them!

Well... back on topic.

I'm glad I'm not the only one having problems with the Dragon Boxes, though my problems aren't because of tape.

I imported all three from Amazon.com and the first Dragon Box had a massive tear in the box in the lower left corner and damage to the discs.

Second had a black tab at the bottom on the inside, so once the cases were out they were almost impossible to get back in (removal of the tab tore the box) and the third had a damaged disc (massive white mark across the disc, like most of the Remastered sets when I first bought them all from Amazon.com) and a damaged box.

I'm not having much luck at the moment. I've sent them back and won't be able to get replacements from another site until next week. Hopefully they can get them in stock. Bad luck for me though, they had two and three but sold out of three today.

It's frustrating that they cost as much as they do, especially to import, but I ended up with damaged goods. Five Remastered sets had to be sent back to Amazon.com for the same reasons. I dread getting the replacements though because they may have the same issues.

[jordanator]

That sounds bad. I hope you get them all right. I ordered mine and I'm hoping they arrive in one piece, in a box, and with the gluey stuff instead of tape. Just wondering if a flight from the US will make it to the UK due to the ash-cloud crisis? Can anybody enlighten me?

[DisapprovingOwl]

Just a heads-up to anyone who ordered from RightStuf; they've said that if I return mine they should be able to supply me with a replacement, mentioning that the issues I experienced (the use of the tape instead of the adhesive blob) were, as far as they know, a result of a 'manufacturing error'. Thought you guys would appreciate knowing in case anyone else who ordered from them wants another chance at an undamaged box. = )

Going to send it back tomorrow morning; will keep you guys posted on whether the new box has the same issue or not when it arrives, though that'll be a while. Hoping to get a box with adhesive rather than tape this time! If not... guess I'll have to try carefully steaming the tape off or something, and hoping it doesn't screw with the glue on the rest of the box. = S

[KakaR0T]

I really hate the tape but I don't know if it's worth the hasle returning it. You know you have to fill out the return forms then ship it out then wait for your replacement part to come and I might just be that lazy.

Who here is going to exchange their Dbox because of the tape?

[Brem]

Could someone do me a favour and check the backs of their discs, and see if there is any damage? What I'm thinking of are long white markings, but I've also seen white smudges around the edges as well (though I don't think they would effect the DVD) and what looks like glue in the center of the discs.

I'd like to believe it's not just me getting damaged discs.

[Freeza Heika]

I didn't have tape on mine, but I have had it on other things before, and in my experience, it comes right off, without damaging anything, if you put a blow-dryer on it for like a minute.

Edit:

This is only tangentially related to Dragonball, but on the History of Dragonball thing, in the Dragonbook, when It says the first Japanese astronaut was born, does it mean born as as in, comes to life, or do they mean born as in comes to fruition?

[Gaffer Tape]

Haha, I asked that earlier, and it seems that it was the day the first Japanese astronaut made it into space, although the date is actually a month off, which made it harder to verify.

[jordanator]

Still waiting on all 3 of my Dragon boxes...Can't wait!

[jordanator]

Does anyone have a screenshot of Goku right after he first turns Super Saiyan?The one where he just looks at Frieza in a way that says ''You know whats coming next''.That is by far my favourite pose from DBZ!
