About this deal

Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. An exclusive full-color, 11-inch, 30th anniversary version, Grandista Goku collectible figure from Banpresto This set contains the Babidi Saga and the Majin Buu Saga. Very little redubbing is present in this set, such as Kyle Hebert redubbing Chris Sabat as Ox King. However, Yakon's lines have been left unaltered from the voice filter that was used to deepen his voice in the original version, which is now removed on the Remastered boxsets, as well as Innocent Buu's effect that lighten his voice originally. Also his incredibly high-pitched scream when used his Angry Explosion and the higher pitched scream effect he did when he got blow up by Majin Vegeta are removed. The echo effect on Babidi's voice when he's telepathically speaking to the Earth's population is gone as well. Also, in "Buu is Hatched", Goku and Majin Vegeta staring at each other has added dialogue they think in their minds. Goku said "His moves are incredible!" while Majin Vegeta said "Finally I'm going to tear him apart!". Though it's highly likely that the lines were recorded in 2001, just like all the other lines that aren't redubbed due to the voices themselves being not really different. Once again, Duncan Brannan's performance as Baba has been left untouched. The restored footage was then laid out tape-to-tape at 1080p. The series was telecined at an aspect ratio of 16:9, re-conforming it from its original 4:3 aspect ratio. This allegedly helped to eliminate some of the grain and glue on the top and bottom of the picture and added more image to the left and right than any previous standard definition transfer, but also removed footage from the vertical aspect. The decision to crop the picture was FUNimation's decision, not Franko's. This set contains the entire Dragon Ball GT series and the special A Hero's Legacy. The discs are identical to the season set release and both booklets were also included in the set.

Christopher Sabat gives a couple of groans to Recoome in " Ginyu Assault" after Jeice retreats whereas he was silent in the original version. Bizarrely, this was the only new material Recoome was given in the remastered dub. This set contains the Emperor Pilaf Saga and the Tournament Saga. Episodes 29-31 are part of the Red Ribbon Army Saga. This DVD set marks the region 1 debut of the uncut version of Episodes 1-13. While there's no redubbing like the Dragon Ball Z sets, there are some minor alterations. For instance, Fighter 69 from the Tournament Saga had his voice pitched down in the original release, whereas here it is kept at its original pitch. Also, the filter on Great Ape Goku's roars was removed and is now heard as it was originally recorded. Kyle Hebert replaces Dale Kelly as the narrator. Dale Kelly voiced the narrator originally, but Kyle Hebert took over the role beginning with the Great Saiyaman saga, and later narrated the uncut version of the first 67 episodes. (Hebert's redubbed narration was first heard on the Cell Games Saga DVDs starting with Volume 50: Guardian's Return) Unlike the Captain Ginyu Saga, the Frieza Saga does not receive extensive redubbing. Chris Forbis continues to revise portions of Christopher Neel's original script. FUNimation later released a statement saying that the set is the highest selling anime DVD of 2007.Christopher Sabat redubs Mike McFarland as Mez when the Ginyu Force falls into Hell. Mark Britten is retained as Goz. The scene where Bulma escapes from the cave to steal the Dragon Balls was completely redubbed, possibly owing to the master recordings being lost or too damaged to use. Other small changes were made to the script. All other scenes with Bulma were left completely intact. Several additional characters were also given a redub by various voice actors. Stephanie Nadolny reprised her role as Bulma's electronic diary for a redubbed scene. The three Warrior Namekians originally voiced by Sonny Strait in " Frieza Approaches" were redubbed by Gordon Holey, Mark Lancaster, and Brandon Potter. Two of Frieza's soldiers from " Calling the Eternal Dragon", also previously voiced by Strait, were redubbed by Anthony Bowling and Phil Parsons respectively. Christopher R. Sabat redubs his performance as Zarbon in episode 78 and also gets an extra line " Well, I suppose you know best." when Frieza goes to destroy Planet Vegeta, keeping his performance in continuity with the Namek Saga. Sabat initially followed suit with Paul Dobson and gave Zarbon an Australian accent before he devolved away into a more Mid-Atlantic sounding voice. Zarbon's original accent is left intact for episode 104.

Cover Characters: Bulma, Vegeta, Gohan, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, two Saibamen, Zarbon, Dodoria, Guldo, Recoome, Captain Ginyu Episode count [ ]For the "remastered" release of Ginyu Saga, FUNimation redubbed several voices to make the transition from the previous episodes (which were dubbed uncut only recently at that point) easier. Light script changes were made to some of the redubbed characters' lines of dialogue. Contains Dragon Ball Z: Broly - Second Coming, Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly, Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn, and Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon. Linda Young continues to redub her work as Frieza leading up to the character's first transformation, though most of the battle grunts are left intact. Portions of her work as 2nd form Frieza are redubbed as well as redubbing one line for 3rd form Frieza in Episode 82, the line " Oh Piccolo, it's time for school!" is replaced with " Now now, you're not giving up already, ay?" in addition to 3rd form Frieza's voice sound effect being completely and unintentionally removed from the Remastered releases. Frieza's final form is redubbed in episode 84. Redubbing stops at episode 85. One issue that i have come across is some of the cases make it hard to get the discs out while most are fine just annoying on the few that it's tight. On the blu-rays themselves have no issues on the quality of the picture or sound - just like i remember it. Also a note; special features are spread out within the different series and different blu-rays and personally would've been nice to have them all at the end but not a major issues Interestingly, these box sets, still have a "Clyde Mandelin" credit in the translations area, and do not give a credit to Steve Simmons like the Dragon Ball season sets do.

This set contains the remainder of the Baby Saga, the Super 17 Saga, the Shadow Dragon Saga, and the Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy TV special. Christopher Sabat replaces Vic Mignogna and Mark Britten as Burter. Mignogna was supposed to handle Burter's redubbing from the original Ultimate Uncut dub of the Namek Saga, but was unavailable. Sabat completely replaced Mignogna in the Namek Saga material as well. This set contains the remainder of the Red Ribbon Army Saga and the General Blue Saga. Episodes 58-61 are part of the Commander Red Saga. There are little changes, though the Pirate Robot's filter was removed from the episodes it featured and the voice left at its original pitch. Linda Chambers-Young redubs her lines as Frieza. Her voice originally sounded more calm and woman-like. Here, her voice is more rough and threatening. It helps present continuity to the Namek Saga voice. Some of the grunts are the original lines and in episode 69's recap, the original dub lines for edited episode 54 can be heard. Another note is that in the episodes " Memories of Gohan", " Save the World", " Goku's Decision", and " One More Wish", Mark Britten's voice for Ox-King is left intact. Kyle Hebert still redubbed him in most episodes, but not the four listed. Captain Ginyu's croaking in the first-mentioned of those episodes is still performed by Dale Kelly despite Brice Armstrong redubbing most of his material. Fortuneteller Baba's appearance is left intact with Laurie Steele instead of Linda Young redubbing over it.Another note is that Goku has a voice filter added when he powers up to Super Saiyan 3 in front of Innocent Buu and Babidi, which is untouched on the VHS/DVD Single releases. Cover characters: Dr. Gero, Krillin, Vegeta, Android 17, Tien Shinhan, and one Cell Jr. Episode count [ ] Brice Armstrong, who performed Ginyu in the Namek Saga, replaces Dale Kelly as Captain Ginyu. Kelly's original voice is still used for some of Ginyu's battle grunts and power-up screams due to Armstrong's age.
