While a disappointingly large percentage of the scheduled releases are just re-prices or re-issues of old material, there are a few welcome new releases sprinkled in like Sgt Frog (at last!) and the first uncut DB episodes released in several years. We're even going to get the first half of Nabari no Ou, which was an unexpected surprise, so they did give us a few things to look forward to! :-)

UPDATE: Funi has informed me that the first DB boxed set will contain Eps #1-31 Uncut, so it's going to be a great value.

So what's the content on that Dragonball set? 1-13 or some variant on 1-26?

Given the price I'd expect the former, but given the age of the franchise maybe the latter.

Man, you guys always want ALL the information RIGHT NOW! LOL! :-) I would guess it will be Ep #1-13 given the price point.

The only thing we have from Funi so far is their Sept spreadsheet. That's a title, SKU, date, and price. The .pdf sheets with the full specs and box art will follow in a few days and we'll update the specs on the DB box as soon as they come over.
