I would think so, but FUNi is slow with boxsets so who knows. I'm holding out too.

Found this on amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B ... 73-2872365

Since there's no "Part 1" and disc 8 is the newest, I would assume it's a typo. March 21st. Close to movie 12's release.

Says Starter Set, though. I assume that means that'll be the starting set and that it'll hold five discs. Not to mention, it says Part 2 on it.

Please remember that "I", when referring to yourself, should be capitalized. Thanks.

Typically, when episodes are released in the Box+1 format (where you get a box that holds a season and then disc 1), you either NEVER see a complete boxset, or one MANY years later. In other words, don't hold your breath.

Okay, thanks guys. I already have the starter set that came out with the goku figure (one disc with 3 episodes) so it's no biggie for meif they do not include the first disc.

Confirms that this IS the second starter set, which comes with Vol. 8 "Saiyan Invasion."

The only boxset that's scheduled is the second Dragon Ball GT boxset, which covers the end of Bebi and all of Super #17.

And just for the sake of pointing out another DVD release in the US, Vol. 9 "Ultimate Sacrifice," comes out May 16, 2006. http://aaaanime.com/dvds.asp?view=item&code=FN02232

What the frig is a "Starter Set?" for Christ's sake? What bizarre terminology, especially if there are more than one. No kidding here, can someone please explain to me what that means? I'm asking because boxsets often have 3 DVDs, whereas starter sets, which are supposed to be worse, have more. Wouldn't a "starter" set simply be like a half-boxset done only once?

A starter set is Volume 1 + Box to hold the future releases in. Sometimes with some bonus, to encourage the people to buy the series. Is quite popular with anime DVD releases.

Oooooh...that makes sense. Doesn't make sense that it's so disturbingly expensive though...

Don't worry. FUNimation's not the only one who does it. Dunno what the logic is that makes a cardboard box $5 to $10 and drives up the price to the DVD.

Actually it's usually$15 to $20. That's practically a whole second DVD.

Depends on the store.

Some places charge $30 for the starter, while the regular DVD is $25. Either way, for three episodes per DVD, we're getting hella ripped off. >_>

Well, stop buying at Suncoast.

The "expensive" excuse never cut it, and will continue to not cut it. The discs, individually, are never more than $20 at decent retailers. In fact, they're $16.99 at Best Buy... that's online *and* in stores. Here's the listing for Vol. 8 of the "Ultimate Uncut Edition" at Best Buy. You can pre-order it for the same price on Amazon. Even on Amazon for the discs that are already out, they're $21.99. You have a hard time finding these in stores after they've been out for a bit, so it's best to get them on-release or pre-order, anyway. And since they're so ridiculously cheap to do so...

Actually, I'm pretty sure that DeepDiscountDVD has the UU releases for around $14.99.

I buy mine off of Deep Discount DVD.

I wasn't using the expensive bit as any kind of excuse. I was simply pointing out how ridiculous the main retail price (which is $24.98) is for only three episodes. Though I do use the examples you've pointed out when people complain about not wanting to buy DVDs and wanting to download episodes.

Besides, I've been looking towards buying the Japanese DVDs now. >_>

What I never got is that no one complained about single Tenchi Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo dvds going for $29.99 for the same amount of episodes.

I bought Season three of The Simpsons for thirty dollars last month. My friend got season seven for forty.

Both seasons had twenty two episodes with multiple lanuage tracks, including creator commentary. Paying twenty bucks for a DVD with only three episodes is ridiculous. Its price goguing plain and simple.

You're talking about a mainstream show that has HUGE companies behind it that is *guaranteed* to sell millions of copies...

Versus some TV episodes of a show that's got a comparatively ridiculously niche audience where they have to pay license fees just in order to release it.

C'mon, people. Logic.

I would say that for a lot of animes, but not DBZ. It has a very large fan base and always sells well. Funimation released Dragonball in boxsets that never exceed forty five dollars.

How can Funimation afford to release Dragonball in this format, but with DBZ or DBGT, they trickle it out one three episode disc at a time?
