- Dragon Ball GT: The Complete Series set
- Dragon Ball Kai: Season Sets (1 - 4)
- Movies: For Dragon Ball, the 4 Movie Pack. For Dragon Ball Z, the Complete Movie Collection or the singles on Blu-Ray
-I can't read Japanese.
-No NEP's or original title cards/credits.
-Oh boy noooo way!
-Same as DB.
-Not interested in Kai atm.
-I own the 4 pack. Idk why. Also aren't the movies for dbz from these sets the same as the Orange bricks?

It sucks because I would buy the DragonBoxes in an instant! But they are out of print. Even if I buy'em 2nd hand, it won't be supporting the distributor and they cost waaaay too much.

I want to support the series in the U.S. But I don't want to support bad releases. Supporting bad releases just leads to more bad releases.
I really don't think the lack of next episodes previews should condemn the release of an entire DVD or Blu-Ray set for a cartoon series as a bad release.

You can't read Japanese, but you want the original title cards and credits? That doesn't make sense. With that I suggest you look up the old 2 disc sets that had them for DB.

By your logic, the Orange Bricks should have lead to horrible releases which didn't happen. Orange Bricks lead to the Dragon Boxes, Kai Parts and Seasons, and Level Sets. The Orange Bricks did great so using that money, they probably tried remastering it with superior video and audio quality for the other releases. I think the Dragon Boxes sold well, but Kai only sold decently and the Level Sets didn't sell enough to make the budget so...if you weren't a fan of Dragon Ball at that time. You just missed out on a great opportunity to support more releases like these. I am going to guess that the Blu-Ray Sets will lead to a much better releases using my logic which is backed up by evidence. The Blu-Rays have been selling good as far as I can tell.

The Blu-Ray sets have been selling quite well, as far as I know.
