To get another copy of Dragon Box 1 or not...

Post by redlinks » Thu Nov 03, 2011 5:35 pm

I'm debating whether or not I should get another copy of the US release of Dragon Box 1 and leave it sealed. I've got one that's opened already, but it's slightly damaged because I accidently dropped it. There's only 11 copies left on amazon, so what do you guys think I should do?

- I prefer Saffron Henderson's Kid Gohan and Kid Goku over Stephanie Nadolny's.
- I still hope for a redub of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z with FUNimation's current cast.
- I prefer to watch Dragon Ball Z with the Faulconer Score, however I do not mind the original Japanese score.

If you're willing to spend the money, go for it.

But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

I would, especially since they have been discontinued. You can sell it down the road, for some cold hard cash, when you really need it

Do it! As TheLegendary117, it'll be worth a couple of bucks down the line. Like anything OOP, they rise in price unless they are re-printed. Which odds are they won't in this case. I know I'll be keeping an eye out on these.

I ended up getting another copy of #1. Hopefully it'll be worth something in the future!

Who knows, you might scratch a disc and be screwed, so why not.

Crap, it's up to almost $40 on amazon! I'm glad I got mine when they had it on sale for less than $30. It seems as though they restocked it?

Yeah, I saw that too. I got my extra copy for $35 and I'm glad I bought it when I did. I don't think they've restocke them because it looks like it's sold by a secondary amazon seller.

You could, but I'm willing to bet that volume 1 is the most common volume of all Dragonboxes.

If anything I'd keep a copy of volume 2. Now that's one that's gonna be worth a lot of money in the future. The next other one that also always seems to be a bit more expensive than the rest is volume 4.
