I wish I could buy them now. The sooner I get a credit card, the better.
What's the difference between the Steelcase movies, and those other double features that come in a plastic case? Is it just the case that's different?

Are you talking about this? If so, those are basically the double features but singles. I think it's just FUNimation trying to make more money.

Does anyone know if these are still being released?

Oh right, yeah those are the double features (steelcase). :) I've never noticed that spelling mistake, pretty funny. :lol:

Cool, I thought they plastic-ish cases.
Now I have a vivid image of a wild boar wearing a green scouter in my head, for some reason. :lol:
Only if the Blu-ray double features were multi-regional, that would be gift! I know a some are region B, but only a few.

Those singles were canceled awhile ago after they released the Trunks Special and Bardock Special. They had them up for pre-order on Amazon with the cover art for the first two DBZ movies but then they were just taken down. As you put they were the same as the double features but cost around $10 but in a single release form.

I have a question. On Dragon Box 3, right before Trunks shows up, Vegeta lands back on Earth. But his voice is different. His old voice on Namek (and Earth during Saiyan arc) was much deeper, and more intimidating. Now his voice seems a higher pitch. Did Funimation change actors(?) (whatever they are called) during this arc? Or did Funimation use another Dub's voice for Vegeta? I'm really puzzled. :?
The weird thing is, it is the voice I am used to. I remember Vegeta had a voice like that, when I first began watching Dragon Ball Z. I don't know which Dub I watched, though.
Anybody able to answer my question?

The reason is that the part of the series in Dragon Box 3 was dubbed before the Saiyan and Namek arcs, which they dubbed after the Boo arc for the uncut re-releases. It's really just Sabat going from trying to imitate Drummond to adopting his own take on the character, the Saiyan and Namek arcs on the DVD were when he had established his own voice, so it would be a jarring change, I'd imagine, but I don't watch the dub.

I wish it was all of them, but unfortunately only two are on sale.

Dead Zone/World's Strongest (DVD) - £4.29.
Android 13/Bojack Unbound (DVD) - £5.25.

Try and buy them in the next 5 hours, that's when the cheap shipping promotion runs out. No worries if you cant though, shipping for the double features is usually quite cheap. :)
Dead Zone/World's Strongest is only $4.99 at Best Buy i wish i would have picked it up with my dragonboxes on my birthday. :(

Does anyone know how long Otakon is? I know it starts soon.
Also, does anyone know where I could buy the return of cooler/cooler's revenge double feature online?I'm looking for the DVD steelcase one. Amazon.co.uk don't have, neither do Play.com. I only found one copy on Ebay.

Not quite sure why folks don't just Google "Otakon" when they have questions about it. The official website is easy to find, obvious, and has all the info you're looking for. The convention takes place from July 30th to August 1st.

Also, just because there happened to be a pretty big DBZ-related announcement last year at the convention (Dragon Boxes)... don't get your hopes up for something this year. They might have something. They might not. Don't set yourself up for disappointment.

AxelMusic don't have it in stock, but it is on order. Up1.co.uk have it listed as "out of print". I wonder why only this DVD is going out of print and not the others. :?

Cheers mate, I was looking around on there, and I couldn't find it listed. It doesn't really matter, because I'm waiting til after Otakon. I doubt they will announce a Dragon Box for the movies (at Otakon), but if they do, at least I will not have wasted my money.
I don't know. I haven't seen any of the movies (bar TLSS), but it may be because it's/they are really good movies, or people's favourite.

No problem. There's no harm in waiting, better than wasting money! If they don't announce a movies box, I would grab the Cooler double feature asap. You don't want to be spending £20 for it on eBay. :lol:

That's my plan. :) . I doubt Amazon.co.uk will ever have it again, so looks like I'll buy it from Axel. I'm gonna buy the rest of the movies in bulk from Amazon.co.uk, they have the movies cheapest I've seen, bar the movies that are 6 pounds on Axel.
Still waiting for my Blue bricks. :? I have a feeling they will come in the next 5 days.

Did you order from Supermart USA? I might be buying a few things from them soon, and was hoping the delivery would be fast. :lol:

Yeah I got them from Supermart USA. The delay was ''a mixup/error'' according to Supermart, by which they re-shipped my order from the US back to the US. I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt, since my last order came pretty quickly. Otherwise, I'd say go for it, delivery should be quicker for you than me. :D

So you would of probably had it by now then, if it weren’t for the mix-up?
I hope so! The wait for the Dragon Box is driving me insane (I have no more DVDs to watch!). :lol:

Yeah, I definitely would of had it around the 14th if it weren't for the error. Also the customer service is good. The replies to messages may be slow, but Supermart answer all you questions, and really make you feel reassured.
I'm in the same boat as you, I just watched 2 episodes of the last disc, in Dragon Box 3. Tomorrow I will watch the last, and then I too will have no other DVDs to watch! I'm really counting on the Blue bricks to keep me occupied until I get the next Dragon Box. Also, I haven't seen any Dragon Ball, so it's all new to me!
