I remember FUNi put a rare card in one of the Yu Yu Hakusho Blu-rays, so I'm guessing FUNi decided to do the same thing here.

Looks to be part of the new Panini DB batch.

Here's another Piccolo card from Panini's collection:

Isn't that only when you pause it? I remember seeing shaky lines, but it didn't look nearly THAT bad in motion. Orange Brick owner here.

I remember from one of Season 7's episodes it looked pretty bad and I didn't even need to press pause to notice it.

Still, from Seasons 7-9 it's considered when the Orange Bricks got a lot better.

Things like this will occasionally pop up for half a second or so. The damage caused by the automated cleanup is inconsistent.

Sadly, mine didn't either. Guess it must be a luck thing.

If you guys want there's decks of Panini DBZ cards on Amazon for $3.45 plus shipping but it's not something you're losing out anyway.

Yeah, on second thought I am glad it didn't because a few people complaining the sticker on the front advertising the card, ruins the cover.

Looks like FUNi went all out on the extra's for the final season! Hope they continue these with Kai.

I'm not too worried about the card but the collector in me would like to say ''Yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh mannnnn...I got that.'' :P 8)
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

I guess you need to buy season 9 in the US to get the card.

I hope not. It's still a money maker for them, so no real reason to stop.

Once the well dries up, we might get lucky & get an HD Dragon Box, or a similar release that caters more to us.
...Right guys? Anyone? No? :(

As long as it remains profitable there's no reason to stop. I think the only thing we'll see in 2015 though, is DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters. We probably won't even get the new movie until 2016. But hey, I could be (hopefully) wrong.

If I had to bet good money on it I'd say no. haha It will be my last Z buy though for a very long time. :P I own all 53 episodes of Ocean and almost all of the Dragon-boxes, and now these(except season 8 & 9 yet) I am going to finish buying the rest of Kai though.

God! I hope so buddy! I'm hoping we get the original series in Dragon-box quality. or GT.

Does anyone think Funimation will try to remaster the original series to match the quality on the season sets? or maybe the movies?
