This is why we can't have nice things!!
At least they're only nitpicking and not seriously being like "*cancels preorder*" over tiny little things.

That's what I'm saying. At least you, and others telling the same kinds of jokes, weren't being serious.

Did you pre-order from Amazon? If so what was the total price?

$63, working out to £38. Should take 8-16 days to get here.
Not too bad really.
EDIT: Kendamu, why have you re-positioned your avatar? :?

I've never bought from Amazon before, so I'm not sure whether they ship before the release dat or not, somebody's gonna have to confirm that one.

That is including the shipping price, don't worry as you are paying $63 instead of the $55.99 so you already payed the full amount no extra $10.

Yes! Finally pre-ordered it at RightStuf!


Come on November, hurry up. :evil:

EDIT: Hey, I did not really look into it, but I read free across the screen and just clicked. What is Economy Shipping? Is it just like normal shipping or is there some kind of catch to it?

Man, I wish they had more pics of the box. Pics from inside the DVD cases and snap shots of what's inside the DragonBook. :P

Me, too! Is there any "news" on how the DVDs will look? I'm praying Funi will increase the disc count to 7 and have the Japanese Dragonball DVDs' artwork on it. It will be perfect!

... and no, not the season sets' type of artwork, please.

The Dragonbook is what's got most of my attention right now. I really want to know what they'll add and how they'll organize the information. Judging by the Japanese Dragonbooks and the potential for American-exclusive information, these should be impressive!

I keep forgetting about the Dragon Books... they're kinda the first thing I want to get a look at, other than the box and the discs.

It's amazing that the 150th page of this thread was reduced to nitpicking about cropped spines. Jesus Christ... :x

It's Daizex. What do you expect when we have such little information to go on?
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.
