OMG! Is this what I think it is?! Someone please tell me. A translation would be nice. Maybe DBW could tell me what it says? Anyone who can read Japanese LOOK AT THIS!

I did a babelfish translation and it seems you pre-order all 49 DVDs and they bill you for them when they ship I guess. Not sure though. Can someone please confirm this?

Also, I am not sure if you need to have any kind of special membership with Toei or not. If this is all true, I can't wait to order this!
Wait, this might be only for domestic release.

I hope they ship internationally. I am dying to know what this really says. Someone please tell me soon. If it is domestic shipping only, could someone tell me if there is any way to have it shipped to a post office in Japan and THEN have it shipped internationally? Or would I have to have to have it shipped to someone I know in Japan and then have him ship it to me? I don't know if he is in Japan at the moment though. He goes back and forth.

... Wukong, you do realise the EXACT same question applies to you, right?
Anyway, it's not like he's as bad as he used to be, and can we please avoid a fight? ^^;; We don't need the Hammer of Justice falling on another thread.

Anyway...
I read through it quickly, and from what I can tell, if you pay 195,510 Yen ($1650.00) +tax Toei will ship you all 49 volumes of the DragonBall Z single DVD's as they become available each month. They also mention something about an alpha set, which I'm not quite sure what that is. It also says that they're doing this for members as a convenience, so they don't have to keep track of ordering all the DVD's every month, isn't that nice of them?
So I'm not quite whether you have to be a member or not, but I'm going to guess that you do though. They also warn that you'll have to pay shipping and all that jazz... you know the drill. Though, (if I'm reading this right) you pay for each bundle they send you. So you don't pay all $1650 upfront, but you do have to pay a shop charge.
Basically you pay: DVD price + shipping + shop charge...
Feel free to correct anything that's wrong, as I read it quite fast... DBW??
