...........Kei wins. I don't think any of us can top this.
A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Oh that-thewaitwhatyoudidthe--You did whaaaaaaaat??

Damn. Dare I ask how much that cost you?


Oh, and I bought a few digital volumes of the manga (11, 17 and 26 of the Viz Dragon Ball Z manga) yesterday so I guess that counts.

I preordered the Dragon Ball Full Color, volume 1 a week or so ago. It was $9.99 when I ordered it, and it's gone up since then. I'm looking forward to getting it.

Beware the answer :lol:

As for how actually it looks, I have to send it to a studio that can handle 16mm film telecine because I don't have any film projectors. I'm planning to transfer my 16mm reels in HD within the next year.

Current exchange rate is 104 Yen for 1 US Dollar.

6000 divided by 104 = Roughly 57 bucks.

It's not at my house yet, but I ordered the Medicos Super Figure Art Collection Super Saiyan Son Goku (ver. 1)

It's perhaps the highest coveted figure (and version of this figure) of Goku out there currently. It was released in 2011, and is about 10 inches tall.
I wipe it off the tile, the light is brighter this time, everything is 3D blasphemy.
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up, this is not the way I picture me.
I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong.
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this. Is it a dream or a memory?

What a mixed bag you have there, the only good DB boxes from that collection's US Dragonbox Z & Kai Parts 1-4.

The rest is still enjoyable though.

Glad I'm not the only one SSJ4 Furanki to get the original Dragonball series for Christmas! :P :D

Edit - and I got Dragon-box 5 as well! :D
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

No doubt! Yeah, I would prefer FUNimation released the Dragon Boxes for DB/GT/Movies, but the sets out are serviceable. I'm content as long as the boxes are fullscreen. Other than the Z movies, but those were made with cropping in mind. So that doesn't bother me too much. All I need now to complete the collection is the Trunks/Bardock specials (which I forgot about, but I always can get those another time) and the specials that are yet to be released in the US.

Yep! Have had all of Z via Dragon Boxes minus the movies, all of GT and what currently is available for Kai! Without a doubt will buy the new 'Parts' as they come out. Pretty much get Z for the Japanese version and Kai for its dub/faster pace. Will be double dipping for Battle of Gods when it's out here.

FUNimation did technically release "US Dragonbox GT" through the old Singles/Boxsets collection which they had before the Green Bricks.

Image

Check these two comparisons of DBGT Singles X Dragonbox GT:

Comparison 1 - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/52368
Comparison 2 - http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/52369

Anyway, my DBZ Rock the Dragon Edition and DBGT Lost Episodes Box should arrive tomorrow or sometime during this week or the next tops.

True, each set has certain pros and cons. I like the Green Bricks for having the Dub with Japanese BGM and for being cheap. The boxes you mentioned I did have one of them at a previous point. I would always watch it in Japanese on the singles since it had no 'Dub with Japanese BGM' option. It did have better video options due to the alternate angles, which I wish FUNimation still did.

Pros:
- Includes the Portuguese (Portugal) dub which was never released in Portugal, or for that matter, on DVD.
- Features the Japanese audio, French dub, Spanish dub and Portuguese dub.
- Menus are in its own languages.
- Episodes 1 to 4.

Cons:
- The dubbed languages don't include the dubbed openings so that's a shame, especially for the PT dub because in this specific case would have been in high quality.
- The Japanese opening for some reason also has subtitles in Japanese rather than one of the other languages, this alienates the audience.
- After this volume they cancelled this release.
It really is a shame they never continued this release. I loved the menus and the fact that it had so many dubs.
