Well, I just finished watching the first two discs of this set, and overall I am happy with it.

One snag though, In the episode "Oolong the Terrible" The dvd froze right after he turned into the bull and locked my DVD player so I had to power it off to stop it. At first I was pretty angry, I checked the disc no scratches or blemishes of any kind, so I tried it in another DVD player, and there was no problem at all. The DVD player I was using is a little old and I do recall this happening once before with some other DVD but I can't remember what DVD it was.
So I guess look out for that potential problem.

Also, for some reason, the "cleanliness" of the first 13 episodes isn't all that great, I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't DVNR'd at all. But Episode 14 "Goku's Rival" suddenly looks a lot sharper. Very strange IMO.

YOU GOT THE DRAGON BOX Z DIDN'T'CHA?, NOW GET READY FOR THE SHOW THAT STARTED IT ALL!! With the Original Series DRAGON BOX!! Now you can get a look at all the HEARTPOUNDING ACTION, And HYSTERICAL Comedy in the Quality the Japanese Got!!"

I'd say if you have the other 11 bricks, don't skip these since it's got the first 13 episodes... or wait like two years and see if they put out the DB Box.

Scan the back of the box for us to see with our own eyes.
It's regions 1&4.
WHY FUNIMATION?! WH~~~~~~~Y?!!!

YOU LEFT Z AND GT 1,2 & 4... AND AUSTRALIA HAVE MADMAN FOR THEM... WHY EXCLUDE REGION 2 WHO HAVE NO ONE TO DISTRUBTE YOUR PRODUCTS IN THEIR COUNTRIES? WHY 1 & 4 ONLY?!!

Dragon Boxes... NOOOOOOOO~~~~~~~!!!!!!!

Someone: "Get yourself a region-free DVD player."
Me: "I WANT TO WATCH IT ON MY LAPTOB AS I LOVE TO!!"
Someone: "Make your player region-free with "yada yada" software."
Me: "I WANT TO WATCH IT WITHOUT THESE COMPLICATED SOFTWARES THAT DOES'NT WORK NO MATTER WHAT!!!"
Someone: "............................................................. $#%! off you baby :x !!"
NO WAY! Funimation you useless, mean, cruel, money-grabbin, nasty people!!! First you rob me of my wallet when I buy the orange brick boxsets and you release the dragonbox... Then you decide once I have collected all the sets, to release precious dragonball excluding season 2... That means I can't watch it in my room! :cry:
I have a Sony dvd player which does not like being cracked into to become multi-regional, so i'm hoping it will play downstairs if I buy it...
