There doesn't always need to be a booklet, hell, to make it cheaper not including it decreases the price, I'd think.

Japanese Dragon Boxes Z = 2 Huge Boxes
Australian Dragon Boxes Z = 2 Small Fat DVD Packs (Non-existent as of now)
Oh right, you mean split the series down the middle like what Madman did for Dragon Ball. I was thinking of the prospect of having seven fat packs, not two. :P And booklets...what can I say, I can't hold Kanzenshuu. :D

2 fatpacks for the Dragon Boxes Z would have been wonderful had Madman taken the initiative and licensed it.

No way in friggen HFIL am I ever going to get the chance to add the Dragon Boxes to my growing Dragon Ball collection at the prices people demand for them. Even if it is DBZ, I can't justify spending $200+ on a DVD set.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

My girlfriend recently bought me a set of Dragon Balls. She said the eBay auction claimed they were the size of baseballs and made of glass. They turned out to just be rubber bouncy balls. She was a little upset, but hey, I'm satisfied. I have all a set of all seven Dragon Balls now.

hello, as promised, here are my last purchases

ImageImageImage

piccolo with the cape and without (same figure)

I love them all and it's tough to tell which one I like most. Piccolo is a beast (I really like the feature of having him with or without the cape)

All Namekians in the manga have 4 fingers. In the anime they gave them 5. So, originally, Piccolo had 4 fingers.

Well no one said they didn't.
I wasn't hating on your collection, and it seems like your pissed that I said I wished it had 4 fingers, not hating just wishing they had made it manga accurate.
No beef
