I know right? I mean its still cool that they’re doing it I guess but the older dvds are just as good.
@zgirl
What up buddy!!!
alright so im excited for this boxset!!! im for sure getting it!!
Yay!
I’ve been waiting for this and I knew they’d do this sooner or later. So how long do you guys think they will take to release the remaining four boxsets after september?
This new boxset saves me from wasting hundred of dollars at the ridiculously priced out of production dvds if I want the official release dvds, no way Im paying $30 per boxset for pirated dvds.
So excited about this….gonna get it!

@Kid Green
How about the part when Goku removes Bulma’s panties whilst she is sleeping, buries his face in what he discovers as if it were a pillow, and then panicks when he realizes that she doesn’t have testis. In his words: “No balls! No balls!”
YES!!! Been waiting for this sooo long! soon my collection will be complete hahahaha!
