I'd only bother buying a movie DBox if it incluled newer productions that haven't already been released by Funi.

Dragon Ball Dragon Box? I'd love DB in that sort of quality, I'd love the openings and endings, and I'd love the NEP for DBZ #001.

Blu-rays? Yes, basically. They're better than Dragon Boxes in my opinion.

A redub of DB with a fixed script? I'd throw a party.

If they did re-issue the DBZ boxes, I'd totally buy them just in case something happened to my original set. I love my Dragon Boxes but, evey time I take a disc out, I'm so careful not to damage anything. It's like I'm handling a new born baby! I would feel safer if I had a second set. In other news: I'm insane.

You're putting ideas in my head now. I have all my stuff packed up since I had to move out of my room for a while, and I packed those up the most carefully, along with my Dragon Ball art books and other things from Japan, stuffed their own box and made sure they were always on top so they weren't crushed by anything.

It wasn't included in the DB Dragon Box sadly.

Neither was the GT NEP for DBZ, but the American set has it included at the end of the last episode of Z. It was an extra in the GT set originally, wasn't it?

If they can do a re-issue of Dbox Z, I'd explode in happiness. I can finally complete my collection with Vol. 2.

That's the thing though, that was a pre-existing extra. The Z NEP was never released officially.

The Z boxes were first, and since the NEP for Z 001 is on the end of DB, it wasn't included in the first round of remastering. Interestingly, Z 291 didn't have the NEP for GT 01. Similarly, DB 153 didn't have the NEP for Z 001. These were probably remastered along with the rest of the episode they belong to, but probably due to some weird decision made meant to streamline the release (like the reordering of the end credits and NEPs), they weren't included. When they got around to the GT box, Toei realized that they had the NEP for GT 01 remastered and ready to go, so they shoved it on the GT box. The preview for Z 001 never fit those circumstances, so there was never a place to release it. But, as we saw with Funi's release of the Dragon Boxes, the preview for GT 01 was included. I doubt this was anything Funi did; the package probably just came that way. If anything, it was Toei who messed with the package and removed those NEPs. This is why I think that if we get the DB Dragon Boxes, the last episode will included the NEP for Z.

200 dollar sets for Goku's Traffic Safety and Goku's Fire Safety with 12 hours of extras where it's just the people at Toei drawing and a version of "Romantikku Ageru Yo" sung by a drunk Sonny Strait.

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.

Oh crap, hopefully it exists in some form and can be used by Funimation...

Does nobody care about the movies? :cry:
Besides, FUNimation already announced that they can release the movies along with the Z sets, didn't they? Just makes the most sense to me.

I'll probably snatch up anything Dragon Box-related (even GT!) but I'd be extra happy with DB or an opportunity to buy the first couple Z sets without paying out the ass.

I want the movies more than DB and DBGT! It does bother me that FUNimation probably has these and is sitting on them for this long.

That's the one I'm least interested in. I'm hoping for DB. However, the Movies would sell better. So that's what I'm expecting.

As far as I'm concerned, they can put out Dragon Box anything and I'll be buying it.

I was only 17 when the first set came out, and too young and poor to buy them. I'd also fallen out of the fandom, so didn't know anything about them until it was too late. This time, I won't be making the same mistake.

Honestly, I'm hoping they release the movies or Dragon Ball (which I'd personally prefer) along with a re-release of the original Dragon Boxes. Can't see it happening, but I can dream.

I'd probably watch the movies much more than the episodes.

I'm hoping for another Dragon Box release. I don't mind if it's the movies, but I prefer to have the entire TV series in Dragon Box form.

Yes, this is a great time to be a Dragon Ball fan! :D
