I just love the packaging for these things and the cover art looks awesome in person.

As convenient as it'd be to simply obtain a full set of seven in one go, there's something neat about simply buying them one by one and slowly building your collection. Really makes you appreciate each individual box set.
You're fine with overlapping discs' boxsets? That to me is always one of the worst ways to package discs, though you know what's worse than overlapping discs? Rock the Dragon Edition book.

Double posting. I just found the Chogashu on CD Japan and it was cheaper than the other listings, so I nabbed it.

Yeah! Thanks so much. Super stoked with the purchase; great price and fast shipping. Definitely one of my better TradeMe buying experiences. :D

I'm guessing this previously belonged to BluezaBladeNZ , yes? Funny how one Dragon Box has gone through three different NZ-based Kanzenshuu members. :P

last year I sold off my copies of DBOX 5 and 7 to the same person on TradeMe. None of you would happen to be morbid333, would you? XD

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!"

Haha, nah, that's not me. :P

Gotta admit, I'm surprised at how many New Zealanders were actually interested in buying the Dragon Boxes. Outside of the people on here, I didn't think there'd be that many Kiwis who knew what they were buying. The internet these days, I guess. No longer the cool kid with the weird, underground knowledge. :lol:

Ha yes they were lol. I thought about listing the 4 doubles I had individually each week, but then just went with the whole lot in one go. Had a ton of watchers on each of them.

It really irks me that the lowest quality release of the manga gets the awesome Kanzenban covers.

I agree,a 3-in-1 kanzenban would be awesome, but I dont mind it (though I admit the paper could be better). The picture quality is better than the singles though.

I took a look at each and they look quite nice plus the paper quality is pretty damn nice, as well as I remember collecting posters like these when I was a kid. Good times.

So I head on in to the Disc Replay out in Highland to see if I can find a old copy of Bushido Blade 2 for PS1 and what do I find in the store's tiny manga section?

Image

The original Japanese tankobon's covering every chapter from the Z portion of the manga for no more than two bucks each.

The following was my LITERAL reaction upon discovering these - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lfqZmPkbvM

Fantastic find! I am incredibly envious :clap:

Bought this today:

All three are based on the Freeza arc but luckily Freeza's my favourite foe so I'm fine with it.

NICE!

I can't find high quality versions of a few of those, so I appreciate that. :D
