MV @ Do you just have the first US Dragon Box Z Vol. 1 or some of the others? At this point buying the US Dragon Box Z collections isn't all that worth considering the prices could go about for what the original Japanese Dragon Box Z (2 boxes), and the JPN-DBOX have much better picture quality as well as great extras (TV-Specials included).

I bought the US dragon boxes because of the subtitles. I understand japanese, but I like watching them with my family and friends and they wouldn't accept my forcing them to watch DBZ yet again but this time without understanding a word of it :lol:

I went with the Japanese boxes. They're definitely the way to go at this point. Not only are they higher quality and probably less expensive than getting all 7 US boxes, but they actually come with some pretty cool stuff (the two TV specials, Goku and Piccolo action figures, original Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, etc.) Still thinking on whether or not I'm going to sell my US Dboxes or not.

I've got this already via the RtDE collection but this one's uncut so it's worth owning. I'll watch this again for the Kikuchi score (staying consistent with the other two films).

Saiyan arc of the Japanese Full Color releases. Working on Freeza arc next, then I should hopefully be ready to collect the new Artificial Human & Cell and Buu arc volumes when they start releasing next month.

My friend from Japan came in town and gave me my yearly haul :mrgreen: (here's a preview, I'll eventually post it all...I happily wait the annual visit rather than pay the absurd shipping costs [unless of course the deal is too good to pass up, time value of money and what not]), below are the pictures of my Chogashuu :D and Super Exciting Guide #2.

Funny thing is, he is not even into dragon ball at all and had no clue about Battle of Gods! I was under the impression that over there the publicity was way more massive than I guess it was.
"You might think you know everything there is to know about me, but really, you're not even CLOSE."

"Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." ~ Sir Winston Chruchill / Dragon Ball Z in a nutshell

How about some clips of the dub? I'd like to hear the voices with video, not just audio.

Sure thing! I'll get this done after watching it.

By the way, my DBZ Level 1.1 and 1.2 orders were cancelled. Dammit. :(

Sorry for asking this, but I want to show off what I bought recently. How do I post a photo on this forum?
It is clear that sometime in Mark Satan's life, he acquired the dragon balls and called upon shenlong to grant him immortality.

Tinypic is really bad. I highly recommend imgur or minus as a hosting service.

Adding to the list. I recommend Majhost.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

I just despise anything that requires a log-in and any site that forces you onto their website via a direct image link.
