It's not that hard to get. I got it the week it came out and there were tons of copies on YJ.
Now, it's still widely available. It's just not cheap when it comes to shipping.

Exactly, I managed to pick up a brand new copy on YJ for under twenty bucks, however after the shipping and Rinkya taking their cut (twice) I ended up paying nearly three times that.

Just purchased the 'Cooler's Revenge' and 'Return of Cooler' single DVDs together for $11 total. The seller told me that they were the uncut versions with the Japanese audio, so if they aren't I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get a refund.
Reason I bought them is because I'm sick of this:
DF:
Nicktoons:
DF:
Nicktoons:
And this:

The movie 6 caps should be self explanatory, but if you don't get the movie 5 ones, then the problem I have is that sometimes the film is way too dark. On my TV I can hardly see the tear in Piccolo's shirt in that last shot on the DF.

The Singles look better than the DF's, the DF's are way too dark.

I never realized how bright Return of Cooler looks on the SteelBooks, good thing I don't like that movie anyway! Cooler's Revenge looks great though. I think I would have preferred something more akin to the original FUNimation release but at least it isn't blinding.
This is the episode of when Gokuh enrages himself after Freezer talk shit about Kuririn

Holy cow, I didn't realize how huge that #16 was! I really wish I could have gotten one.
EDIT: .....oh, as you said, it's probably mostly my eyes being tricked.

Nice video I'm glad you got your Dragon-Box
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Well, just received my old "Cooler" DVDs. They're indeed both uncut, and both still sealed, and I paid less than I would have for them separately used, as the prices have slightly increased over the past couple of years. I'd say that was a pretty good deal.
Now I can hold out for any potential Dragon Box release. Another big reason I wanted them was for the Japanese titles and credits. The credits for movie 6 were apparently made before the film was finished, and
contains an animation error not present in the actual film. This was lost with FUNimation's "textless" version they made for the DF using clips from the actual movie. Also, the movie 7 trailer is at the end of the film, and that's pretty neat.
Anyway, yes, I'm pretty friggin' happy:

Dragon Box:

I purchased Dragon Box vol. 4 recently and was wondering if anyone else have these wierd marks on theirs? 2 of the dvds from my dragon box has these wierd smudge/line marks, they're not really scratches.. I don't really know how to explain it, but here it is:
I tested them out and they both played fine, however it was a quick skim I didn't sit there through the whole 3 hours to see if there was any problem, should I be worried about those marks?

I have one of those marks present on Dragon Box 4, Disc 20. It causes playback to freeze at the same exact timecode every time, and every time I have I tried to backup an ISO for the disc in AnyDVD, it freezes at 52%. This is frustrating, because it means that I now have 41 out of 42 Dragon Box discs backed up onto my hard drive. :/
It's been done countless times before, but...

Just sit and watch the entire disc all the way through to see if it gives you any problems. From my experience, playback would not skip, but completely lock up at one scene, and worked perfectly otherwise. There's no sense in returning it if you can watch that disc all the way through without any problems. Just make sure you do so within 30 days so you can still return it if you need to.

Well Amazon Japans shipping get pretty expensive. Well the products together when converted to USD was roughly about 55$. But as I said shipping kicked my ass! And you dont wanna know how much that was!!
