I think it would be cool to get a more accurate dub, script, and translation of the series. Not to mention a Bluray facelift (the Kai treatment, not the recent bluray season treatment).
That made me chuckle a little bit. I can just imagine it:
Dragonball GT Kai! "Closer to the original author's work"... Oh wait, erm...
"Less filler!".. Mmm, maybe not...
"High quality replacement animation frames!"... Damn, not that either... Erm...

Because they've cut out all the filler, you just buy an empty box

The last six volumes of the Kanzenban + volume 42 of the regular graphic novels, so as to have both versions of the ending.
And thus my Japanese DB manga collection is complete! Norwegian translation of horribleness, you are hereby
OBSOLETE in my collection!

These two figurines of Goku and Freeza.
Basically there was this festival at my university, and there was this old lady who was selling various merchandise from anime. She had all these DB-figurines, but they were kind of haphazardly thrown into a basket and most of them were in pieces, kinda dirty and completely unorganized. I just helped her put them together and organize them better n'stuff, and then I was like "I'd like these two figurines, how much do you want?" and then she was like "You can have them for free," and then I was like "Okay, thanks."
Hmm, I have that same Goku figure, but mine has orange clothes. I didn't know they made different colors of this. Interesting...
random question, but are those super sentai shows between the power rangers movie and the goku figure?

Here's the picture I promised, alongside my gashapon figures and UK Season 8 Orange Brick:
Also, here's a picture of the gashapon figures on their own, look how tiny the SSJ Gotenks is (excuse terrible cameraphone quality)!
Is the picture quality the same for the UK orange bricks and the US orange bricks?

One is the complete series of
Zyruranger, the original Japanese show the
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are based on. The next one is the first Pokémon Movie "complete edition" ( which is so awesome I did a full review of it here:
http://dbzkedits.3gkai.com/?p=1060 ) and the next one after that is just a random Pokémon TV series DVD.

As far as I can tell, the UK Orange Bricks are identical to the US ones, bar the cover art for Season 8.

How are the interiors of those plastic cases laid out? I kinda like the smoothness of the cardboard cases for the US release, but the discs are CRAMMED inside like a big family on vacation in a small hatchback.

Nice, I prefer the singles over the dragon boxes myself as I don't care for the english dub with the Japanese music, I only like that score with the Japanese cast.

Yeah, the only time I watch the Z dub is out of nostalgia, and the dub with Japanese music isn't nostalgic, so the singles are the way I watch the Z dub. The digibeta footage also brings me back to the late 90s and early 2000s.

I've been working on a project cataloging and comparing home versions of the show, so I ordered myself some of the Pioneer boxsets. Can't. WAIT.

Just hit the zoom button on your TV or DVD player.
There, I just saved you some money.

True true.
If I get it and am kinda "eh" about it, they sell pretty easy on ebay.
