Dragon Box Z 2's Hands On Discussion

[LeprikanGT]

Maybe It won't look so bad when all of them are together. I may just turn all 7 to show the characters on the side if not.


i doubt they would sell just a box. If so then they could have released it like the real DBoxes.

[DemonRin]

HA! We Were Right! Dbox 3 is gonna be Freeza!

[ka1oken]

I was thinking that they might make the 4th SSJ Goku.. but then i thought to myself that they are probably saving him for last.. i wonder what the 4th set will be? its either imperfect cell or imperfect cell will be on the 5th set.. either way I'm glad they are using the artwork from the original set's i would be kinda disappointed if they threw in different pictures because it fit with the saga.

[Greenman]

That's wonderful! I'll order mine pretty soon.

Question about the box... did they glue the parts in a cheap way like the first box? And does it have the same "Hard-core" ad the first box had glued on the back?

It looks the same. I haven't seen any indication that anything is going to come loose yet, but we'll see. Yes, it does have the same ad on the back of the box.

I spoke too soon. It doesn't look like they improved the gluing. Mine's peeling a bit already

^figured they wouldn't fix the glue problem... Pretty disappointing but not really considering how cheap it is now.

If the price was like 79.99 retail everywhere.. well then i would complain but since its cheap.. not that big of a deal.

[The Time Traveller]

I waited a month before ordering the first set, I think I'll order this one right away since it's the best part of the series...

[Brad Redfield]

So what are the contents of the second Dragon Book?

I can barely read the table of contents in the picture so I was just wondering.

[Greenman]

- "Profile of Goku Family": Profiles of Chichi, Kamesennin, Bulma, Kami, Yamcha, Ten, Yajirobe, Chaozu

- Ultimate Character Relationship Chart

- "Perfect Guide": Guide for episodes 43-84

- "We Count Down Anything": Small top 3 countdowns such as "Weirdest training" and "Sexy men."

- "Impressive Words": A selection of quotes from the first 84 episodes.

- "Son Gohan's Animal Adventure": A "report" from Son Gohan about the different animals he's met such as "Umigame" and "Frog."

- "Design Works Collection": Design sketches for characters

[The Time Traveller]

It doesn't look like they've fixed the disc art thing, using mismatched pictures even... if they don't take out one or two useless pictures in the middle we're gonna end up with stuff like Garlic Jr. being on the disc where Freeza is killed and the Androids appear, Perfect Cell on the disc where Gohan's secret identity is exposed as Great Saiyaman and Goku takes on Yakon, Babidi and Dabra on the disc where Vegetto is formed and unformed...

We'll miss characters like Gotenks, Kid Boo, Super Boo, Vegetto, Pan and Oob as well if they don't take out some of the unnecessary artworks?

I know it's a minor technicality, but look how mismatched they are...

[Greenman]

^ Almost looks like a first one is a tad bit taller.

Probably just the angle though..

I just checked and my Dragon Box 1 is a little taller than the second one.

[Budogenkai]

I just checked and my Dragon Box 1 is a little taller than the second one.

Well that's a let down. I was going to display the side with the picture of Goku and Gohan after getting all of the 7 boxes, but now I guess I'll just display the side with the Dragonballs on them.

The second set of comparisons:

[Bura]

I'm in love!! I'm finally giving in! As soon as I get my very first paycheck next month, I'm ordering both!!

[ShenEvil44]

See, this is what I was afraid of. Haseowolf gets it first followed by EVERYBODY else. (kicks a can)

Oh well, at least I'll get it before VegettoEX

[Tanooki Kuribo]

Holy crap. This shot right here is a perfect example of how zoomed in and how fucked up the colors were on the season sets. It's like night and day. And with that, I'm done with comparison shots... at least for this set.

I actually agree, it's kinda odd. We should write them, they're actually in a position to fix this. All they have to do is keep going through the discs like normal as they have been doing, but skip Namek Gohan, Ginyu, and Tenshinhan. Then they just have skip a few discs and they're in the clear.
I've actually noticed though, the Japanese discs are a little off themselves. For example, Kid Boo appears on a disc before even Vegetto Appears, and then Super Boo appears on the disc that Kid Boo makes his first appearance. It would make more sense to just flip those two discs with one another.

Ok, I've made a list... now I just need to find a way to send it to FUNimation in a way they won't ignore it...

How can I check my order status on RightStuf? I went to view the status of a previous order, but nothing's there, even though RightStuf sent me an order confirmation.

[LeprikanGT]

@Demon: Did they release a trailer or photo or anything of Dbox 3 or were you inferring we were getting Freeza on the 3rd Box?

[Castor Troy]

You should have an email with a UPS tracking #.

Mine won't arrive till this wed.
