Saga of Goku madman DVD for sale?

[JackyBoi99]

I have found a few copies, but they only post to Australia. I'll keep looking around.

@BOI Would you be willing to buy and ship it to the USA if u received the money plus the shipping

[JackyBoi99]

I could look into doing that.

[JackyBoi99]

I'll also have to check if they are still available.

Can someone explain to me why they'd want this Australia release of DB? What does it offer that other releases don't? Or is this merely for collection purposes? I don't know much about Madman's releases so I'm just curious as to why it seems quite desirable.

Apparently the madman dvd quality is better then the US blue bricks.

In US the "Saga of Goku" 2DVD set was censored whereas the Australian edition is uncut just like the rest of the Saga sets. That and, it has the grain intact which the Blue Bricks lack and for people that want the detail intact that's not the way to go.

Eledore has done a comparison of early and late screenshots Saga Vs. Dragon Box, and for the later ones it's only a slight crop although on the early episodes a good chunk of it wasn't shown (different masters, I presume).

Plus the UK fans are lucky they'll be getting the Saga sets too but in 5 boxsets (yellow bricks) rather than 2 boxes, though.

I didn't realise this set was so sought after. I bought it many years ago before the the first 13 episode were sold in the US off of eBay. I guess it's worth holding onto.

I didn't realize it was sought after either. I shipped mine off to the goodwill about a year ago because I had the season 1 set and didn't have a player that would play it. I would have gladly let someone that wanted it have it. Though...in hindsight, I wonder how mad whatever person picked it up from the Goodwill got when it didn't play when they got home..... Oops!

Well, besides the fact that it would complete an otherwise incomplete collection (since, due to licensing issues, it was never allowed to be released in America), it does have the Japanese title cards, which automatically puts it above the season sets as far as I'm concerned. It's choosing one imperfect release over another imperfect release, but considering that, and that I have all of the other Saga sets so that buying season 1 would cause me to overlap, it's the obvious choice.

If we take Dragon Ball Z: Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 as an example of singles' collection then Manga UK might do the same for Dragon Ball and then everyone can have the episodes they want for a low price for sure.

Well, there's also the fact if they'll be profitable or not but they'd certainly be considering people would even import it.
