Definitely the Dragon Box(es). Also, Dragon Ball for Wii and the new DS RPG.

It has to be the DragonBoxes, but I'm also looking forward to Raging Blast. Clearly it isn't going to be a classic but I'll enjoy playing DBZ all the same.

Attack of the Saiyans and DB Season sets.
Not a problem.

Not much, actually. Too broke for the Dragonboxes, and too cheap since I don't like the anime as much I do the manga.

Maybe the GT bricks, since there's only two total and would make for cheap-ish X-mas or Bday gifts.

This year, these are the Dragonball-related items I am planning on throwing my money at:

Dragonbox (of course)
*Maybe* Attack of the Saiyans, now that I have a DS. All depends on the price.
Revenge of King Piccolo, because I'm 100% certain that I will get a Wii next year. :D
Dragonball Season Sets. Again, when I have the money.

I don't have a PS3/360, so I won't be getting Raging Blast. I am getting tired of these fighting games, anyway. So ROKP and AOTS will be a refreshing return to the DBZ gaming circuit.
Next quest: Start collecting Dragon Ball Super Blu-Rays whenever season sets get released. Also the Super Manga!

Fan of Dragon Ball Z and various other Anime since '98! ^^

As with everyone else, the localized Dragon Boxes are an exciting prospect for me. I'm also looking forward to the gradual release of the Dragon Ball Season Sets, considering that the original is by far my favorite of the trio. :)

Funimation's Dragon Box 1. That's the only DB-related product I fully intend to have. Of course, I already pre-ordered, so I will definitely have it.

I'm cautiously looking at the previews and reviews of the games. Mostly, I find DB/DBZ games to have a lot of issues that make them impossible to enjoy thoroughly.

Revenge of King Piccolo seems like it might be up my alley, though.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Not to mention, it'll only be charged at a $40 price point. Like mostly everyone else, the Dragon Box is a certain purchase for me. Revenge of King Piccolo and Raging Blast as well. I'll hold out on Attack of the Saiyans some other time. The sprites and graphics look great, but I don't know if I want to go through another turn-based game at the moment.

I am looking forward to the Dragon Boxes, but it's not my most anticipated product... I've already seen the whole series, now I'm just going to see it in much better A/V quality.

I'm most looking forward to Raging Blast, RoKP, and Attack of the Saiyans. I've enjoyed playing the hell outta most DBZ games, and these should be no different.

An honorable mention goes to the "Progression" CD single and the 2nd Kai OST. More Dragon Ball music is always a good thing!
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

Dragonbox 1
Dragonball Season 1
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

The Dragonbox of course, very little could get me more excited merch-wise.

The super-sexy-awesome Piccolo figure Scars linked to comes in second, because it actually seems affordable unlike Medicom Piccolo.
