I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but that's not the official release. Lots of companies nowadays are destroying precious music and it's incredibly irritating. Big-name CD manufacturers are distorting sounds to make them seem louder. Sound quality suffers. In a short moment, you'll see why ANIMAX is ruining the sound.

Here's an example of 2006 ANIMAX Dragon Ball Z: Hit Song Collections 12 versus 1992 NIPPON COLUMBIA.

There's an ongoing battle about this issue called "The Loudness War".

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

Well it's what I could find off of Amazon, so, yeah. I'm not terribly good at looking for Japanese releases and such, and I am well aware that this is the 2006 re-release, because that's all I could find on sites that I could read. If you know of anywhere that sells the 90's version, I'd be happy to take a look, though.

Received my Dragon Ball Z: Goku Densetsu copy today which I bought off a seller as "used - very good" but turned up sealed, here the photos of it:

There's two things I hate about the European DS boxes, 1) the case is bloody thick and barely has anything inside and 2) it has a colour stripe on the bottom of the spine according to which country it's from. But well, at least they managed to have the cool DBZ:GD logo on the spine thankfully.

Could have been worse, they could have chosen two entirely-foreign-to-the-average-consumer words from the Japanese title instead of just one...

I recently ordered the Pioneer "Trouble" single to get free shipping on a Robot Spirits ZZ Gundam that Amazon listed with damage packaging for $30.

I preordered the Figuarts Goku... but Amazon still hasn't shipped mine (as well as many others' apparrently). Plus, they removed their listing for it, so you can't order it directly from them anymore... which has me worried.

It had been awhile since I'd purchased anything DBZ, until earlier this week when I purchased the Ginyu, Frieza, and Garlic Jr. saga's on DVD from eBay. Now all I need is the Namek, Trunks, Perfect Cell, Cell Games, and World Tournament saga's to complete my old-school DVD collection. :)

Thanks! :) After 2 years of trying to buy one, I definitely will!

$200. Compared to the original MSRP it's pricy but it's nothing compared to some of the prices on eBay which can range from double or triple that price.
