With that kind of price, I prefer buying the Japanese singles

But that price was when they first came out, now they're like $2-$3 each. The Japanese singles are way more expensive than that and don't have subtitles.

I wonder if they'll be including the TV specials at some point because I remember seeing a video of one of Funimations staff members being asked this question and he said stay tuned for more information on that.

Everyone wants to sell the old singles, I'm in the UK wanting to but the old pioneer/funi singles, but they're too expensive I was looking for one of the ones with the rock the dragon opening and the cheapest I could find was like £10 compared to $2 in the USA, keep them guys. It's a piece of history. I'm still in the middle of buying season sets whilst getting the dragon boxes, then I need at least one pioneer release and 2 more steelbooks to go then I'm done.
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)

I know you said you're looking for Pioneer releases, but one of the Singles that RightStuf still has selling includes it. Here, let me find it real quick...

It's Dragon Ball Z DVD 19 (Hyb): Captain Ginyu: Double Cross (eps 57-60)

Yep!I'm watching that very disc right now :D I, too, LOVE that opening. It's very nostalgic of the old days...

*epic flashback of rushing home from school, flipping on the T.V just in time to hear DRAGON DRAGON ROCK THE DRAGONBALL ZEEEEEEE.*

:lol: It was so great!

Stop, you're making me jealous! :(
I took a look though hm $2 that's less than £1.50 then realised $12 shipping. My face sank in an instant.
Saying that though I've had bad luck with DBZ prices recently bought season 2 of the orange bricks £9.50 then went to get season 1 the next day £17.83, couldn't believe it went up that much overnight so I've still got to get season 1, 3, 5 of DB & 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & possibly 9 as I ordered it over a month ago, which still hasn't arrived. At least I'm up to date with the dragon boxes thanks to amazon $27. Even after shipping they turned out to be £25 each. :)
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

As I get the Dragonboxes, I'm giving away my season sets.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.
