The Dragon Boxes WILL be Limited. (ANNCast Segment)

Post by Budogenkai » Sat Oct 23, 2010 10:41 am

Small Notes:

Dragonball is doing well, and Kai is selling pretty well.

Their 2nd highest seller has been Season 9 of the Remastered Z Sets.

Low Prices seem to be keeping DBZ sales high.

The Dragon Boxes are going to be LIMITED. This means that they are keeping it just as it was in Japan, a one time only deal and when they're sold out; they're gone. This seems to be justified by the fact that the packaging is very premium for a FUNi release.


All of this is around the 64:00 minute mark of the podcast if you're interested.

This thread confuses me. I don't have sound on my computer so I can't listen to it; but are they talking about the currect Dboxes or are they going to release something the JP ones or.....?

Oh okay, I had a mini-panic attack for a moment thinking they were going to release the Dboxes like the JP sizes and all that.

I DO like the packaging on the US ones though...aside from the dimensions being so close to the bricks right after their release.

I already have Box 1-4 so I don't have to worry about not getting my hands on one.

Well then, I'm downloading it so I can take a listen, but it seems that this sounds official. Good thing that most of us are buying this limited release.

I think Tom Dubois of "The Boondocks" said it best for me when FUNimation announced the release of the domestic Dragonbox, after buying all of the Season Sets: "MOTHERFUCK!!! SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT, PRICKS, SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIIIIIIIT!"

Well, when that primitive release disregards specific audio that the majority wanted, what does one expect?

... what? I don't think you actually understand what it is you're saying.

It looks like you're trying to make a back-handed comment about the Dragon Boxes because they don't have your favorite Faulconer Productions score, but you totally missed the boat on that one.

Say what you mean, and mean what you say.

"Low Prices seem to be keeping DBZ sales high."

Then why not just lower the price of the DBOX as time goes on? Nice job, FUNi.

I assume because they are more expensive to produce. Thicker cardstock and a hardcover book will surely cost more than the dinky orange bricks. Also, they are catering to the elitist collectors, keeping them limited for a sense of exclusivity. And, they may be trying to phase out their beast of season set overload. Season sets are EVERYWHERE. They may have produced too much. I really don't know why, I'm just hypothesizing.

I had a feeling the FUNI Dboxes would be a Limited release. :|
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

...wait, premium packaging? They're gluing paper to a box. <<

But this doesn't surprise me, better get Box 4 when my next paycheck comes in. I guess my extremely careful nature regarding these discs when compared to my already careful handling was justified, as was my purchasing another Box 1 when the first one came with dinged up discs and a broken case.

Well I know what I'm asking for Xmas.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

So it has been how long since DB Box 1 has been released? Seriously now!? Better late than never I guess but an earlier warning would have been nice.

On another note; Fuck I need to pick up more DB Boxes!
If you're not here soon... GET ON!

Even though I will instantly nab each US Dbox as it comes out, it pains me to realize that the orange bricks are going to resurface and we may never get the movies, DB or GT boxes.

I feel like Freeza just lifted up the Dbox and blew it up in front of me. :x

Well, it is pretty "premium" for a FUNimation DVD packaging. Lance mentions in the podcast that the price to produce the sturdy box with the book isn't exactly cheap.


I myself still need to pick up box #4 soon. Oh and I definitely want to see a Krillin getting blown up video with the Dragon Box. :lol:

Already on it.

This video is coming out both sad and funny at the same time.

Damn it, I guess I'm going to have to start catching up on my DBoxes. They're up to 4 right now, right? Maybe I should try to save up for #2 and #3 for the holidays.
