Love that hoodie especially with the big king kai symbol on the back. May have to pick one up for myself.
There are a lot of them on Ebay, but majority all from China. I got mine from an Ebay seller in the USA, whose listing says its Authentic DBZ gear.. can only hope though... the days of me buying knock-offs are gone.

I agree i only care to fork money over if it's for licensed products, i really am interested in supporting the franchise.

They sell them on
ThinkGeek, which is where I think my girlfriend got mine from. ThinkGeek is a reputable company so I think the risk of getting a bootleg from them is pretty minimal.

Just finished completing this monstrous collection of DVD singles by getting my hands on this:
It took a while but now I can finally say that I've completed an entire collection, now alls I need is a sweet ol' bulky CRT TV

Didn't know they made anything else? LOL

J/k How many DVDs is that in total? lol
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Hey now, I bought these specific DVDs for a reason! I only started collecting them since May, lol. Anyway, I counted, and they all add up to 78 DVDs, oh geez. I better take good care of these things.

When I said ''Didn't know they made anything else?'' I was talking about the TV hahahahaha

I've thought about buying the singles as well....but my God dude....78 DVDs...don't think I could bring myself to do it. haha

Ooh, haha, yeah well interlaced SD footage won't exactly be pleasing to look at on my 55" Plasma screen, that's what Blu-Rays are for. Plus, that added nostalgic feel is always nice.

In the freeza saga original DVDs is there any soundtracks that the US broadcast score didn't bring over on the Orange Bricks/new Blu-rays?

Nice one! It's rather satisfactory when a collection is complete isn't it? It took me long time to get the last Cell Saga DVD I needed, but once I got it, it felt goooood.

Well as far as soundtrack goes, it's left untouched. What the Orange Bricks/new Blu-Rays don't have (and it's something that few people notice anyway) are the added sound effects by FUNimation (for reference the original American broadcast had these as well).
JEFFMAN219 wrote:Wow bro so you now own all the funimation DBZ singles?
Indeed I do good sir.

Haha, I know what you mean, and yeah, it does feel really good.

This arrived from Germany (text is in English). Cost me £2.80 and I ended up getting a refund as interiors had crayon marks and got to keep the book.

Indeed. I attempted to erase them:
Still looks bad, think I'll just buy another copy then.

Is it just for that page? If so I'd say just keep it rather than go and get a new one.
Check if it's uncut (or as uncut as viz got) or edited, if it's uncut you should really hang on to that.

The crayons make one more appearance in the middle and then they disappear for good.
Yeah they're edited unf, Bulma has soap bubbles.

Eh, that sucks, if you can find an unedited one go for it, but don't worry about it too much, you got an amazing bargain for that! It's not like the censorship changes the story or anything, it's just mildly annoying

Yeah can't complain at all, I can always draw Bulma's breasts on too
I guess I'll hunt down Vol. 2 then!
