Hell, I always do Economy shipping and still get all of my DBoxes before street date.

Buy it from a store and you know you're walking out of the door with it and thats cosmetically nothing is wrong with it.

Agreed, also if its damaged, you can take it back and get a new one the same day.

It's also generally cheaper to buy in a store. Not Best Buy, though.

I price match Target AT Best Buy and save atleast 10-15 bux every release.

Sure, that's cool and all... when YOU DON'T LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF FUCKING NOWHERE. :lol:

Funny thing is, my last two orders (DBOXes again) from Rightstuf arrived well before street date... oh well, nothing I can do except wait I guess.

A lot of stuff isn`t even sold in stores in my country, so... Internet saves the day.

And btw, from where I usually buy my stuff, I usually get it much cheaper than it would be if it was actually sold here (I know this by comparing the prices of stuff that is actually sold here). So, it may take some time, and we don`t get to check the item itself, but its a very useful way to buy stuff.

Normally the wait isn't so bad, but it's taken almost a week longer than usual for my Dragon Box 4 to get here.... if it's not here on Monday, I'll start sweating. :lol:

Weird. When I played it on my DVD player, it locked up at that spot, but was able to skip ahead a few seconds and play through the rest of the episode. It skipped in a few other spots in 137 and the very beginning of 138, but after that, the last few episodes played without a problem.
Same thing here too.

I got 99 problems, but a Dragon Box Vol. 4 ain't one.

That's the entire point of jjgp1112's post. It was a parody of that.

The Dragon Boxes are finally available in the local store that I buy anime from.

Too bad they are sold at full retailer price ($80).

My box arrived a few days ago and I've watched it all. absolutely awesome if I do say so myself.

I also convinced my little bro to start watching it who just last week said Z is shit and GT was a lot better... after some Polite conversation explaining everything thats wrong with GT I managed to get him to start watching it in a humongous marathon and he keeps nagging for the next disc.

I've created a monster lol

Idk, there are a few tiny, tiny smudges at the very edge of the disc, but still within the data ring (idk what to call it, you know, the edge of the disc where there's no data present), but I don't see how such a tiny flaw could possibly affect playback.
I'd just like to say I seem to having the same problem with the first episode of Disc 22. Although I did get it to play smoothly on my computer, it tends to skip and freeze a lot during the second half of the episode on my DVD player.
