I don't think any real edits were reported for volume 14, but I know that people were complaining about volume 15 because of "Hell Flash" being changed, the middle finger reductions, and the debut of the "family-friendly-swears" like "Blast!" and "Curses!". Maybe that's what he meant.

As for me, I have Viz's Dragon Ball volumes 1-6, 8-13, and 16, so the news of bigger, colored volumes is kinda good and bad for me. It's good because I won't have to buy as many volumes to get the whole series, but bad because I'm going to have 13 extra volumes just awkwardly sitting next to the new ones. I guess I could just buy the Dragon Ball Z "3-in-1" volumes (since I don't have a single volume from DBZ), and then decide whether I want to repurchase Dragon Ball or not.

But then again, there's a chance the spine image for the "3-in-1" volumes will be from the Kanzenban release, so they might not match up if I just keep the current Viz ones. Oh dear......

Were they in real good condition?
They were pretty much in perfect condition. If you buy them from someone else (Which you most likely will), ask questions and see their condition to determine if you want to buy them.

Does anyone know if VIZ still offers the Dragonball Collectible Display Boxes where you can store your manga in?
