As well as we AMV-makers. Good to know, I was having a hard time figuring out the nature of the DBox's footage.

I've used my R2's quite a bit for some amvs I've done, but now any future DBZ related videos will ONLY use the new DBox sets.

I might actually sell them off for really cheap so I can get the first set.
Kendamu has DB 1 - 9 for $100.
I was actually thinking of selling my 16 singles for less or around that.

I feel sorry for everyone who was screwed over, but I'm kind of on a high right now because I've never committed to any VHS or DVD release. I've gotten a thing here or there just because I found it really cheap and wanted to see those episodes. But, in general, I've essentially skipped every release up through now and it's finally paying off!

I'll make my final decision after comic con next week. I gotta get rid of them because when November rolls around, they'll be nothing but paperweights.

You think £60 would be a good price to sell seasons 1 - 5 on eBay?

Sounds pretty reasonable...

This was probably a waste of my time, but I went for it.

email to FUNi wrote:Hello, I am a fan of the wildly popular Dragon Ball series, and have recently heard the exciting news to bring the Dragon Boxes to North America. While most hardcore Dragon Ball fans are surely celebrating, this has lead me to ponder a few things. FUNimation has recently announced original Dragon Ball Season Sets, along with Dragon Ball GT sets that were released a few months back. With the the news of the DBOX's release, one can't help but wonder if there are plans to release similar versions of the original 153-episode series and DBGT. I hope you can understand the possible confusion and frustration of a fan to purchase a release, when an all-around better version of the same product is on its way. Any sort of answer would be greatly appreciated.

I swear to god if I get that automated message...

Yes...go ahead and get cash off them while you can.

The best North American DB news I've heard in a long, long time.

I skipped nigh every single release since 1996 (other than the Pioneer DVDs of the first three movies); all the VHS singles, all the DVD singles, the Ultimate Uncuts... ONLY caving for the Bricks just on account of how long it'd been that I lived off of old fansubs and IC, and figuring that that was the best we'd ever get stateside...

...and then POW! This.

I caved for a subpar but affordable product after a good decade of waiting and holding out, only to find that I only had to wait three more stinking years for an utterly flawless release.

I kinda prided myself on how patient I'd been with this series, not blowing money randomly on all the various singles and whatnot. I may have egg on my face now, but damned if it ain't mighty delicious egg considering what we're getting here.

This is excellent news, and I'm glad I didn't buy the season sets now (apart from season one).

I will definitely buy 'em. I feel sorry for those who spent hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars for the Japanese ones just for the footage though.

Poor ol' Corey.

Outside a few VHS tapes, I didn't buy any Dragonball Z home media. I bought the bricks cause they were the best buy for the time. Right now I'm so happy that I don't feel cheated at all.

OH SHIT.

This just made my day.

I intend to keep the season sets and buy the DragonBoxes. I am a fan equally of both the Funimation dub and the original, so I'm keeping the sets the purpose having the original dub music (at least until I see confirmation of what the english audio track contains).

Kid Trunks · Post by **Kid Trunks** » Sat Jul 18, 2009 6:56 pm

Wow

When I read the update on the homepage my first thought was "Is it April Fools today?".

This is so amazing. I'm glad I haven't gotten any of the Z season sets yet...Man, my excitement about this is on a par with when I found out about the new special.

So, do we know for a fact that the Funi dub will be on the Dragon Box?

Innagadadavida · Post by **Innagadadavida** » Sat Jul 18, 2009 6:57 pm

I'm going to keep my Season Sets until I find out more information. First, I want broadcast audio; I want the Falconor music. I want the same 5.1 Surround Sound dub that came with the Season Sets. I want the Pladia footage and the TV Specials.

Yes...as a secondary option. That reeks of awesomeness.

I can imagine a lot of Japanese, and worldwide in general importing for these sets. It really must have been heck for Funimation to get the sets exactly the way they are, for so cheap a price, expecting that to happen.

I've made up my mind on buying these. It may not be "as they come out", but I'll be buying these sets. The season set bricks will be my battle scars, proudly in my DVD collection forever to stay, right next to my DragonBox releases.

Now, Kai? Oof...I hope for my ability to buy things that doesn't come out any time soon.
