Somebody on eBay is selling all of the Dragonball Z Double Features. I think quite a few people are after the Cooler Double Feature.

Link

Already bids on it, so people really do want it.

The color pages if anyone's interested:
- Chapter 307 (DB 501): All pages
- Chapter 310 (DB 504): All pages
- Chapter 325 (DB 519): Title page, 1-15, 18
Derp, I just noticed I wrote 310 instead of 318 for that chapter.

The color pages if anyone's interested:
- Chapter 307 (DB 501): All pages
- Chapter 318 (DB 512): All pages (EDIT: It's there after all.)
- Chapter 325 (DB 519): Title page, 1-15, 18

Are you saying that the chapter itself has no title page or that its not in color?

Edit:

Since that chapter has a color title page, I`ll assume you are saying its not in color (or even non existing. Some covers are not in the Taukonbon release).

That being so, I have to remove one page from my statistics. Here they are, rectified:

DB VizBig Collection overall statistics:

Fully colored pages ( 51 out of 79 = 65% kept )
Red and Gray Scale pages ( 182 out of 305 = 60% kept )
Combined color pages ( 233 out of 384 = 61% kept )

-

DBZ VizBig Collection overall statistics:

Fully colored pages ( 61 out of 86 = 71% kept )
Red and Gray Scale pages ( 204 out of 252 = 81% kept )
Combined color pages ( 265 out of 338 = 78% kept )

-

Combined DB and DBZ VizBig Collections overall statistics:

Fully colored pages ( 112 out of 165 = 68% kept )
Red and Gray Scale pages ( 386 out of 557 = 69% kept )
Combined color pages ( 498 out of 722 = 69% kept )


However, that title page and others are in Viz`s Daizenshuu 1 in color so, as long as you have it, you aren`t missing it.

That chapter doesn't have a title page is what I meant.

Thanks for reminding me about Viz's Daizenshuu, rereboy. I know what my next purchase will be now. :D

Off the top of my head I don't think there are any with the possible exception of a small, ~1" monocolored, rubber figure from the early 90's.

I just got my Dragonbox 4 in the mail today (along with the movie "House of Cards"). I am currently watching episode 127. When I opened it, the Vegeta and Android 16 discs were loose. I hope they're okay, they llok fine though.

Hey if you don't mind me asking.... Where did you pick those up from?? Didn't think it was possible to get those to Australia.

Funny you should say that, I actually picked up both the Cardass volumes on Ebay from someone in Sydney.

It's definitely possible, seeing as how I own all ten and I'm in Australia (granted everything else came from the US or Japan).

The Taukonbon release is missing some title pages. If the title page in question is one of them, then its only natural that the Vizbig diesn`t have it. If not, then its the Vizbig`s fault.

MagicBox on the FUNi forums got the volume and he pointed out something nice:
MagicBox wrote:Oh, and I also want to point out that chapter 318/512's title page is indeed included in color, but only in the "Color Artwork Gallery" in the back of the book. It's not in the title page gallery. But hey, it's in the book, so yay.
There's a little note on the bottom right that says "This is the chapter title illustration for chapter 318."

Combined color pages ( 233 out of 384 = 61% kept )

-

DBZ VizBig Collection overall statistics:

Fully colored pages ( 62 out of 86 = 72% kept )
Red and Gray Scale pages ( 204 out of 252 = 81% kept )
Combined color pages ( 266 out of 338 = 79% kept )
