But if the Piccolo cover is true (which is probably is, since the Official FUNi Rep posted it), then FUNi's already broken that particular pattern with season seven's release.

Oh, wow that throws my tiny prediction out the window sorta. Piccolo for a Season Two set would have fit perfectly in relevance with the story. The one thing I'll definitely be peeved about is if they don't slap Kid Buu on one of the remaining set covers.

These covers have been relevant to each season:

One: Saiyan Saga Vegeta
Two: Goku running in your face
Three: Freeza
Four: Trunks
Five: Perfect Cell
Six: Goku without his shirt, looks like he came from the Freeza fight
Seven: A completely random image of Piccolo doing the Makenkosappo.

Starting with the Great Saiyaman/World Tournament saga, Piccolo hasn't fought, not even taken his cape off. So why would Funi use an image of Piccolo doing an attack that he hasn't done for 6 seasons, and without a cape, even though he never takes it off again?
Next quest: Start collecting Dragon Ball Super Blu-Rays whenever season sets get released. Also the Super Manga!

Why you ask? Because this set will sell even if it had a picture of Arale or even Boss Rabbit on it. The people this sets are marketed to don't care about cover art or even content. They care about having the show they want on DVD.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

...Yeah...I hate the box sets but it is the only way to own these episodes so cheaply...For now I just want to own and watch all the episodes. One day plan on getting all the Dragon Boxs or the R2s

You make that sound like some terrible thing. Like people should boycott a product over bad cover art. Personally, I wasn't in love with the DBOX Cover Arts. (The actual DBOX, not the singles).

You right it isn't terrible...it is an atrocity!!! We should boycott! They fuck us with the Ultimate Uncut, then the widescreen, and now these covers...I'm really just sick of the lies and excuses!

You can boycot, but there's no way I'm giving up this chance to get every single episode on DVD. :lol:

It isn't terrible, it's the truth. The casual DBZ fan won't care about cover art or content.

I bet somewhere in Texas there is a group of executives that meet up in a dark, damp, yet strangely well furnished conference room. They get together and discuss ways to piss off "Hardcore" Dragon Ball fans. "We shall put Piccolo on the cover of season 7! It's innocent enough not to look suspicious but obnoxious enough to piss them off! IT'S GENIUS!"
I completely respect your opinion, and I respect you. I enjoyed discussing this with you, even if I don't completely agree.

If we're all here for a reason then I'm just visiting.

If it's held in your heart then you can't let go.

I think it would be awesome if Funi got a group together to see what they can do to piss off the "Hardcore" DB fans.

Does it really matter people? Who cares, really now? So what if Piccolo's on the cover, he's not been on any of the others. Don't we have lives other then moaning over a stupid--good looking--cover?

Well, this is a thread on the Season 7 cover, so I don't really see the problem with people using this thread to complain about it...

Yes, but at some point we're coming to repeat ourselves over and over.
