Well, I went and checked my mail a while ago, just to make sure... and because I'm impatient as all hell. But no package of awesomeness.

Oh well. Maybe Monday. I hope. :lol:

Seeing Funimation actually correctly translating Kienzan as Ki Disc Cutter and Genki Dama as Ball of Life, one must wonder how they translate Makankosappo instead of just labeling it as Special Beam Cannon.

They have it translated as "Demon Piercing Light Cannon."
Goku: "Look Vegeta! People popcorn!"
Vegeta: "What is he on?"

I don't mean to sound like a greedy bitch, but can we get some more screencaps? Preferably from the Goku vs. Vegeta fight. As well as Vegeta saying "It's Over 9000!"
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Wow! This makes me wish for an accurate dub even more! :shock:

With all these accurately-named attacks, (Kamehame-Ha, Kienzan, Taoi-Ken) was Galic Gun put in there? And was it called Galic Gun or Galick-Ho? (Or however you spell the Japanese name)
Next quest: Start collecting Dragon Ball Super Blu-Rays whenever season sets get released. Also the Super Manga!

I just got mine today in the mail, also with my RAM that I needed for my computer.

I'm so freakin' happy and ecstatic... it looks so amazing, and the sound is pretty damn good for 96kbps. The openings, endings, and the episode previews are amazing! The book, EVEN MORE AMAZING!

They did it with this one, and I'm proud to have this.

I think Tom Dubois of "The Boondocks" said it best for me when FUNimation announced the release of the domestic Dragonbox, after buying all of the Season Sets: "MOTHERFUCK!!! SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT, PRICKS, SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIIIIIIIT!"

Part of the episode summary for 31

"His pride injured, Vegeta flies into a wild rage, decides to destroy the earth along with Goku, and launches a Gyallic Ho blast with all his might."
Goku: "Look Vegeta! People popcorn!"
Vegeta: "What is he on?"

Sorry if this has been answered already. But was Battle Colored Warriors inserted back into Episode 20 on the Dub Track?

Nope. Silence, like on the Season Sets.
Dragon Ball ended in 1997.

Damn it. I'm not really a fan of that song. But I guess that kills my hopes for Mind Power Ki or Spirit Vs. Spirit. :(

Shot Amazon.com customer service an email just in case they'd own up to shipping the boxes early, since RightStuf isn't the only one now it seems. Got a canned reply, so...eh, it happens.

Canceled my Amazon pre-order last night (Nov. 5th) and made a RightStuf pre-order. Today (Nov. 6th) it shipped out Economy mail. I'll probably get it around Wednesday.

I did the same, and I paid for expedited shipping. Mine hasn't shipped, but I did it at the end of the day yesterday.
