A little help from my friends
Since Lee went to watch the live action "Dragon Ball" movie with his brother he's been on a bit of a Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z kick. With the re-releasing (and price drop!) of the remastered DBZs it won't be hard to get those (and maybe DBGT if he wants).
To make matters worse (for me), Gavin has taken a real liking to the original series (especially Yamcha) as well. We have Dragon Ball: Emperor Pilaf Saga (if I have to watch it starting from episode 5 much more I'll vomit) and I just found someone on ebay selling General Blue Saga, Commander Red Saga, Fortuneteller Baba Saga and Tien Shinhan Saga as a group for less than $40 (believe me I snagged them and used my 15% off coupon I had).
My problem is it looks like DB is out of print and no one really has the rest of the series for reasonable prices. Can anyone help me find legit copies of:
Dragon Ball: The Tournament Saga <- ETA on 6/24 Bought on eBay, 6/25 shipped, 6/27 turned out to be import
Dragon Ball: Red Ribbon Army Saga <- ETA on 6/24 Bought on eBay, 6/25 shipped, 6/27 turned out to be import
Dragon Ball: King Piccolo Saga Vol. 2
Dragon Ball: Piccolo Jr Saga Vol. 2
I'd rather not have to pay the prices that people are charging for the first two on Amazon ($250 for tournament saga alone). Reasonable price to me is less than $50 (prefer closer to $25/30) a saga.
It's reminding me of my search for Transformers. At least that search is over.
ETA: Of course now I do more searching and have found several versions where there are only 4 "newer?" boxed sets for the entire series...of course after I've paid for the others. I'm going to save this one Web site to talk to hubby about ordering from and then reselling what I got on ebay. I just worry that since they are imports they aren't legit.
Notes on the box sets on that site and what episodes each one covers.
