I'm so anxious for "Dragon Ball Z: Saiyan Saga - Ocean Dub (2013)" to hit Amazon.com but the wait is killing me, aw.

Region 1 (North America) Industry News & Views has nothing about this DBZ product release.

I'd rather much prefer this one to the old Pioneer sets which are now just available in used condition and for the price that they are, I would pay for this instead. COME ON!!!

Well they do have a thread here. But it's based off AAA Anime's and Previewsworld information.

Here's another retailer for the list: http://www.comixzone.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=MAR132299

Funnily enough Funimation's DBZ Kai Season 1 also contains 26 episodes. This makes it harder to decipher whether this is Ocean Kai or Pioneer DVD re-release.
Has Funimation released any recent DVD's with region 2 encoding? Checking on Amazon, they all seem to be region 1 and 4 only.

Hmm... Good point! I forgot that this is Funimation we're dealing with. They don't care about actual seasons or story arcs, so this very well could a "Saiyan Saga" that ends with them in the middle of the fight against the Ginyu Special Rangers.

There are these auctions of DBZ Ocean Dub - Saiyan & Namek arcs on eBay:

Thing is, I want to hold off to get this newer collection which saves space and it's brand new factory sealed, but if not, my options aren't too many at all.

Those are the exact two same boxes I have

How much are they asking for them? If I'm not mistaken I paid about 30 bucks for mine.

The auction's price is still quite low at the moment.

If FUNimation can offer me DBZ Ocean Dub all 26 Saiyan episodes in a small DVD pack (like they did with DBZ Kai, One Piece, Soul Eater, etc) then I'd prefer that to this, although this looks highly collectible and somewhat awesome to own.

I do love it to death but dang if it don't take up room lol

I'd wait a bit buddy before investing in it. unless you just want it just to have it

even though I own them, I'll still be buying the new release just to have it

I'm bidding on those exact 2 boxes, already have the DVDs but need the slipboxes as mine are a bit tatty.

The price has gone up quite considerably. I don't like to play bidding on items straight away, that's just false hope of "winning" later on.

''If'' this is real, I wonder how they're going to do the packaging? will it be discs on top of discs like our Dragon-box cases?
Talking about these DVDs has made me put mine in and watch em.

I'm really hoping that this new release is uncut and hopefully not edited together.

A more cost-effective method is taking a page from DBZ Kai Part packaging:

Amazon.com Gallery Pictures wrote:

Box with 2 DVD slim packs containing 4 discs each side.

Downside is, the box being made out of paper can suffer some damage by being torn while it's on the way to the customer's home address.

For those who're interested, here are the links of those DBZ Ocean Dub boxsets:

What do you mean uncut? If it's the Ocean dub, it's not uncut. There's about 14 episodes worth of material that was cut out.

Okay so 50 some bucks isn't bad for both of those box sets. I bought both for around 30

and I Agree dbboxkaifan! that would be a good packaging. Vegeta just sent Zarbon too ''brian drummond -the next dimension!''

I'm also having a hard time now believing that this is the actual cover.

Why would they put ''Dragon Dragon, Rock the dragon, Dragonball Z'' at the top? just seems odd.

Haven't we already talked about this?

''Uncut'' means there's blood, and certain things aren't cut out like punches ect

"DRAGON DRAGON, ROCK THE DRAGON, DRAGON BALL Z" is probably to make aware of the Ocean Dub DBZ fans that it features "Rock the Dragon" opening also.

There's also this DBZ Ocean Dub OP ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmUNaXIDZc8 ) but the one that's normally recognised and included on the CD soundtrack is Rock the Dragon (titled as "Main Title").

Haha yeah..I don't remember that second opening at all!

Rock the Dragon is the one I grew up with.

"''Uncut'' means there's blood, and certain things aren't cut out like punches ect

I know, the question was rhetorical. If it's the original ocean dub from 96/97, then it's not uncut.

You never know they may throw us a bone

That would seem to contradict "the original broadcast" which is all I really want.

I interpret "uncut" as having no cuts, or being unedited. Anyway, as much as I'd like to watch full episodes of the Ocean dub for the first time in ages, I probably wouldn't pay more than a dollar per episode.

I agree that the cover art is bad. It's one of many reasons that I was skeptical of whether or not this release was legitimate. I assume they whipped out something as fast as possible to have a temporary cover image.

Other things you guys seem to be missing other than the 'original broadcast' notice:

-It's using the original US Gradient DBZ logo Funimation used before switching to the more Japanese accurate one when they took over dubbing it in Texas.
-It's using the font 'Serpentine' -- well known on movies like Leathal Weapon -- just like the old Pioneer box.

All evidence says: This is a rerelease of the Ocean Dub.

I was discussing this a week or two ago. I had commented to a friend that I hadn't seen that DBZ logo in years and was glad to see it on this boxart, and they had to go and compare it to what is used now... they had never noticed Funi used a different logo.
