Any UK Residents planning to pick up DBGT 2-Pack Set?

Post by dbboxkaifan » Thu Oct 31, 2013 10:26 am

On Kanzenshuu's main website VegettoEX has posted that Manga Entertainment UK will be releasing Dragon Ball GT on two collections so that means that it'll probably be this below.
Dragon Ball GT will be released across two volumes next year, arriving in January and March.

I'll just wait and see if FUNimation ever announces Dragon Box GT.

I've got all of the UK Orange Brick Releases so far, so why not. I think supporting the UK market is essential to give any faint hope of a UK Dragonbox release.

I already have "season one" of GT, I'll probably just get the season season from America too, though I'd rather own the complete collection.

As an R2 European resident, I'm considering it since I don't own GT yet. There are some quality issues holding me back (that were also present in the US release, such as the dvnr, the logo change in the opening, no neps, no credits) but, if the price is right, I might get them.

Guess, my mate will be happy. I, might consider season 2 if it's under £11.

Nope. They're soft as can be. I'll stick with my Japanese Dboxes.

If such a thing were to come into being, I'd reverse-import the shit out of that, and I don't think I'd be the only one. Though, I'm doubtful this will ever happen, since Toei was so difficult with even letting FUNimation put these out for their own market, and I don't know what terms they gave them, exactly.

If I were in the UK I'd definitely pick it up since I'm such a completionist and I think this is really the only way to get the series in the UK without going through the trouble of importing. I ended up buying the series through the Funimation single disc DVDs since they don't have many of the quality issues Rukura mentioned, but even with those being pretty easy to buy here in the US I still almost just bought the Green Bricks anyway because they really don't seem that bad. Besides it's my understanding that you in the UK have had a tough time getting a home release of the series in any form domestically and supporting this with your purchase can only help the prospects of future releases.

It seems a long shot, but at the end of the day from a business perspective it's another release that the fans will buy - so long as there is a proven market in which to sell the product, which is where supporting the UK Orange/Green brick releases comes in...

I'm definitely getting them. I'm determined to redeem myself for importing DBZ.

If it's cheaper than importing I'll likely pick em up at some point. No rush though.

As much as I'd love to support the UK release, I already have the american orange bricks / green bricks, so I don't think it's going to happen. Although as someone mentioned above - however unlikely it may be - if they ever release the DragonBoxes... I'll be all over that!
