Probably a copy of the Z movie 13 guidebook, which is the only commercially-released Dragon Ball guide that I don't have. (There's also the two art books that accompanied the Toriyama art exhibit in 1993 and 1995, but I'm less concerned about those.)

I suppose I'd also like to find all the Toriyama fan club newsletters from the end of Dr. Slump to when they stopped being produced in 1987 (I think that's something like issues 14 to 27). There's images and information in there that, to my knowledge, have never been reproduced anywhere else, but I've only seen a couple issues owned by Peking Duck (who, collector extraordinaire though he is, also holds little hope of obtaining every issue).

Daizenshuu/ Chōzenshū Volumes.

A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Mine would have to be the Dragon-Box for the original DragonBall, with all the correct opening and closing animations, as well as the next episode previews. The original DragonBall is the only show of the 4 that I haven't been able to watch from beginning to end with all of the aforementioned features. Though I would prefer it if it had Funimation's subtitles.

I had held out hope that Funi would release Dragon-Boxes of the original series after Z, but now I've lost all hope... :cry:

I hate to say it, mate, but that looks like a bootleg to me.

The cover art and the fact that it doesn't have a region code is a little suspicious.

Meh. Most likely is bootleg. But as long as they're Korean dubbed Dragonball in DVD form I'm happy. Though them being bootleg do kinda lower my hype. I don't want DBZ dvds in Korean cause I got so many for English and JPN that even though it's Korean it's just not worth it.

Mmm, almost certainly a bootleg.

I don't know of any region free, Korean subtitled releases let alone ones supposedly made in Japan.

That's a lot of money to spend on a bootleg. The cover is from a R2 single, I believe.

I have a "bus ad" for DragonBall Z Legends. I don't know if "bus ad" meant it was one of those posters at a bus stop or...? It's just how it was labeled when I bought it.

Yeah, the first Dragon Ball one.

The first image also contains the cover art for the first 'Daizenshuu' and the logo appears to be the 'DBZ' one with the 'Z' removed.

That set is a bootleg that I am aware of. There was a thread about it a year or so ago.

I have a good one. A while back I managed to purchase a copy of questionable quality of Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans. It's barely watchable but I can at least say I've seen it. Anyway, I absolutely love the music! The theme to the ending credits, OMG it's the jam. Totally 80's vibe that I can't get enough of.

The soundtrack is apparently very difficult to find. Ultra-rare. A member here has it I know, he wouldn't sell it but he did send me a type of link to download the songs but it never worked...

This is my Dragon Ball Holy Grail. I'd be blasting this in my car with the windows down! O it would be so great!
