Disappointing Purchases
I've been lucky enough to never have been disappointed with a Dragon Ball-Related purchase, although I use to always be disappointed every time I rented a Dragon Ball DVD and it turned out to be scratched. Luckily it only costs about $3.00 to rent the things for a week.
Re: Disappointing Purchases
I bought Budokai tenkaichi 2 on PS2 used and it came without the manual
, ended up getting another, I also bough budokai 1 new but it was platinum, just when I realised there were videogames of DBZ and eventually I'll have to get that as a non platinum.
I also bought one of the seasons of DBZ off the net, when it arrived I opened it one of the discs had a mark and it messed up one of the episodes, I got it fixed but it cost me £3 to have blockbuster run it through their machine

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

Re: Disappointing Purchases
DBZ orange brick #1.
(comedy drumroll)
The DBZ mousepad I bought last Otakon was a huge disappointment. The underneath side isn't rubbery enough to stay in place during casual use, never mind gaming or anything. I'm back to my 14-year-old South Park one (which is falling apart) because the underside is so amazing. Not even sure where I tossed that DBZ one...
I bought a couple little DBZ books/pamphlets a couple years back at Otakon, too, which turned out to be Korean. Couldn't tell from the outside, and they were packaged up and sealed off in a way that I couldn't have known without buying them. Oh, well. Not that they're bad, or anything...
I paid next-to-nothing for Taiketsu, but Sagas was a day-one, full-priced purchase for me... ugh... so yeah, that goes on the list...

Re: Disappointing Purchases
I was disappointed when I received the "Tree of Might/ Lord Slug" double feature and the booklet type thing wasn't there. It was really annoying, and there wasn't any point in buying a new one.

I'll have to say Burst Limit for the PS3. Very nice to look at, but not fun to play.

On-topic, I actually haven't had any disappointing purchases. I would say Budokai 1, but that wasn't disappointing since I bought it at CEX for next-to-nothing and I'd always wanted to play it anyway. The gameplay's shallow, but the story mode was fun at least. I did sell it, though, when I was desperate for cash.

Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors for the GBC. Shitty game 
Re: Disappointing Purchases
Some people in the UK may agree with me on this, but I bought one of the Big Green movies, under the illusion that we were finally getting some DragonBall released in the UK on home video. A VHS of "Super Saiyan Son Gokuu", or rather "Super Saiya Son Gokuu", i.e. the Slug movie. So in a way, doubly disappointing.
I don't think I'd learnt from the mistake as I received their dub of the second movie, too, which showed me that they thought every move Gokuu used was Kamehameha. No, sorry, "Kamayuh-mayuh!"

Re: Disappointing Purchases
I bought the first blue brick which didn't come with the booklet. The disks worked perfect and everything, but I'm a little bit perfectionist when it comes to these things so that really annoyed me...

Re: Disappointing Purchases
I bought Movie 4 "Super Saiya Son Goku" expecting it to be the dub FUNimation did...yeah I walked 2 miles back to the store and traded it for the Matrix and Bill & Ted a few minutes after sticking the disc in.Ashy-kun wrote:Some people in the UK may agree with me on this, but I bought one of the Big Green movies, under the illusion that we were finally getting some DragonBall released in the UK on home video.

You consider the Big Green purchases disappointing? I'd be thrilled to buy those!

I guess, if people wanted shits and giggles, they can always go to Dragon Ball parodies like Abridged or WeeklyTubeShow.Castor Troy wrote:You consider the Big Green purchases disappointing? I'd be thrilled to buy those!

Re: Disappointing Purchases
All the Funi dbz singles I have (about 20 or so in all). While not disappointing at the time, the fact that there are Funi DBoxes out there now makes my singles a total waste of cash. I still need to figure out what I'm going to do with them.

I was pretty lucky to sell mine off in 2005-2006 when people were still trying to get them all.Chuquita wrote:All the Funi dbz singles I have (about 20 or so in all).

Re: Disappointing Purchases
That's exactly around the time that I bought my singles.

It was that post-Toonami, pre-YouTube era when it seemed like a wise purchase because "OMG! I'm never going to see this show ever again! And I'm actually old enough to have disposable income now!".
I even have some Ocean dub dvd's, but those I'll probably keep.
Out of curiosity, would it be better to just try to sell the singles off on a place like Amazon or is it smarter to just hand them in at a place like FYE?

Dragonball final bout for the playstation 1. I remember how excited I was when I first brought the game and I invited all my cousins and friends to play with me. The game was so bad that my friends and family started to make fun of me as if I was the one who created the game.

Re: Disappointing Purchases
I think "Sagas" (More like Sagass, man I miss Judgment Day
), but I got that as a gift for the Gamecube for some reason (I think I forgot to remove it on my Birthday list back in 2005 since I rented game on the week that it came out). I would say "Taiketsu" but I got that game for like $5 back in 2005. I think $5 was a good deal for that awful game, and I don't think it was that awful of a game.
I don't think I had a bad Dragon Ball purchases yet. I almost bought DBE on Blu-Ray since it was like $20 on sale over a year ago at Toys "R" Us but choose not to buy it.
