I was surprised, considering they started releasing the Dragon Boxes a while back. You would think that with those coming out, they wouldn't deal with the orange bricks anymore. I saw one that had, of course, seasons 1 and 2, and one with seasons 3 and 4, but none beyond that yet.
My guess is that FUNi needed to create more stock of these seasons and decided to just to combine both of the seasons.

I can't get any photos, but today I got my copy of the Complete Song Collection. I'm so stoked... 13 Discs of Dragon Ball goodness for only $120AUS.
Yo! Cal's the name. Nice to meet you!

I got Dragon Box Vol. 1 at $40 last night at Suncoast, and it was a good deal too since it was used.

Best Buy has Dragon Box Z sets 2 and 3 for $23 each this weekend. I would have gotten them if 1 were included in the sale, but that's still around $60.

Still, it's very, very tempting.

I bought the movie 12/13 double feature and the complete Viz manga collection earlier this week. It shipped right before I found out that the VizBigs had color. :(

It's SO big and beautiful and well crafted and detailed.

**Looks at my Dboxes in disgust and disappointment**

In person or online? I think with the amount of care and detail that went into those, you would be able to tell in person. No idea about in photos though.

So far all the "fake Dragon boxes" look nothing like the real ones at all, the closest they've got at the moment that I have seen is some blue packaging that looks like none of the dragon boxes, it's more of a flat pack box with writing in English saying "Japanese original with English subtitles"
The Dragon boxes didn't have English subs.
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)

I'm hoping to own this soon, however I am not sure if it is official

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DragonBall-Z-Limi ... 3a5d166cc1

If anyone can tell if its official or not I'd be grateful and if its not official point me in the dirrection of an offical one.

I don't think thats an official figure. On the real figure the base is a little bit different, and on the real figure the starting bid wouldn't be 0.99 as the figure is pretty rare.

EDIT:
This is how it should look like:

Also the seller is located in China, which could be an indication that the figure is a bootleg.

There are no bootlegs that resemble the Dragon Boxes in any way. There are some DB bootlegs that use Dragon Box logos and artwork but you'll know because it's not the big red box. Also, if it's Japanese with English and Chinese subtitles stay away... far away...
