Dragon Ball Z Kai: Saiyan Set?

[Metalwario64]

I asked FUNi about this and they said, "@KingGoku195 re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: Saiyan Set"... Looks like they just bundled the Pt. 1 and Pt. 2 sets together & gave it a name."

Yeah, and they also added pictures, which is just an image with parts one and two, so it's safe to say it's an Amazon.com exclusive bundle.

[Echo64]

So it's actually just two stuck together with no new artwork? Okay, I'm happy now.

[Great Saiyaman I]

Or maybe it's a new boxset with new artwork, a book, and a free CD and Amazon hasn't gotten ahold of a picture of it yet so they just put the first two parts up!

Did I scare anyone?

Not me! I'm happy if it's true!

Or you could order part two through Amazon, and with the weak US dollar save about twenty bucks off the ridiculous pricetag Madman slap on their products. The regions are A and B for the Blu Ray, and 2 and 4 for the dvd.

You mean 1 and 4, right? Don't want to give the British false hope it'll work in their players.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I want to support my own country's Anime industry.

Whoops, that is indeed what I meant to write.

Fixed.

I honestly don't see why everyone's getting upset about this. I mean, first off, is this really a surprise to anybody, especially after combining the GT season sets together? Things get re-released. It happens all the time. Second of all, how does this affect anybody who already owns parts one and two? Here's a hint: don't buy it. You already own it. I know there might be "awesome" new artwork, but try and resist. This is for people who haven't gotten parts one and two. The people who bought on release date had the privilege of owning things before anybody else. Now the people who held out have the privilege of getting a slightly better deal. How is this a novel approach? Sure, maybe it's a bit soon, but, in the grand scheme of releases, why does this matter? If you already own parts one and two, you're already set. If you don't own parts one and two, now you have a choice. And if, for some reason, you have to own every single identical release, and you're annoyed at the timing, then just wait a while. It's not going to be going anywhere.

Thank you! First smart person on the thread. I was getting so frustrated with all the mindless complaints.

People shouldn't get angry over things that don't affect them. "I own parts one and two; I'm happy! Wait... FUNimation's re-releasing them as a single set?!?!?! How dare they!! "
FUNimation is most likely going to re-release Kai eventually, so people, please don't act like this again; it's embarrassing.

We all know FUNimation likes to re-release things a lot. But they also tend to announce their releases 2-3 months in advance, so it would have been very unusual if this was something they'd released themselves.

But it does affect me, I just bought the 2nd part a week before I heard about this re-release. I'm sure it's not a "mindless complaint" to see part one and two selling for less than what I just paid for only one part.

[Goku100xKamehameha]

The current prices for part 1 and part 2 combined together in Blu-ray on Amazon is $76, while Saiyan Set only cost $56. So you get $20 off.

[Chibi Mystic Gohan]

I don't see why people whine when things get re-released for a cheaper price. Yeah... it sucks when you missed a sweet deal, but why would you buy the original release if it was more than you wanted to pay for it?

That's why I'm waiting to pick up Kai; yeah, I could afford those 13 episode sets, but I'm a cheap bastard, so I'm going to wait for the eventual 26 episode sets or whatever.

Also, to anyone saying that the Dragon Boxes are a big F-you to anybody that bought the Orange Bricks... again, why did you buy a product that you weren't 100% satisfied with? Probably the only DVD set I ever bought that I wasn't 100% on was the Honneamise release of "Aim for the Top! GunBuster," because of a minor edit (there's a music edit in episode 1, because the original piece sounded too similar to Vangelis's Chariots of Fire; if there was a re-release with the original piece re-inserted, I wouldn't cry about it, I'd just sell the old set!). A minor music edit in one episode, of course, is a lot different than an entire 291 episode series being needlessly cropped...
