Saw Dragon Box 2 for 49.99 and Box 4 for 45.99 at my local Best Buy today, heavily considered picking them up and selling for a killing on Ebay, lol!
Otaku at heart.
Come visit me and my collection here!

You should.... I mean it's like a 150-200$ turn around at least.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

Or you could buy them and sell them to me for not $200. xD Joking of course. I try to run into Best Buy and FYE whenever I go to the mall just in case someone traded in a used copy or something. No luck yet.

King Mob wrote:Hey gang. Just wanted to pass along I just rounded out my collection this past week at my local Fry's (they even had one last of the infamous second set that I was able to snag). They seem to be one of the last places that physically stock them and price them below retail price to boot. So if you have a Fry's near you, definitely worth a look.
Same with the Fry's in my area. A friend of mine was able to buy Volumes 4-7 there at less than $40 each (plus tax). This was about a week and a half ago. Check it out...and check it out quick!

I got Dragon Box 2 in the post today. I bought it on ebay about a week ago for $70, new and sealed. Considering the outrageous prices these days I 'd say I got pretty lucky.

Just for the hell of it, I went and checked out Fry's' website to see if they still have any of the Dragon Boxes in stock. And they do! They have all seven volumes at retail price (less than $40) for order right now. You guys really should jump on this opportunity before having to resort to eBay later on.

Okay. I'm desperate. I cannot, for the life of me, find Dragonbox 4 online anywhere without it being a crazy price. (Why couldn't it have been Dragonbox 3 that went out of print, the one i actually HAVE :( ) Anyway, yeah. If anybody finds one for a decent price PLEASE YET ME KNOW. I kept my computer on all night one night stalking Dragonbox 4's amazon page. I refreshed when i woke up and there was a new one for like 40 bucks. I couldn't believe my eyes. I hurried up and clicked one click checkout and what do you know! Out of stock. Amazon kept like 4 new regular priced Dragonboxes listed when everything i tried to check it out they said it was out of stock. Yeah, torture me why don't ya Amazon T_T

$59.91 "In Stock" http://www.moviemars.com/Television/DVD ... m?aff=5111

Edit: Although it reads "in stock" it very well might be out of stock. If you try to add it to your cart, then check your cart, the item disappears.

Yup. Out of stock :(
Reminds me. I was desperate earlier too, and i saw a site called Animenation that was selling it. It didn't look very legit so i did some research and found out it was legit. I ordered it thugh and they took the money out my account and then e-mailed me 5 days later saying it was out of stock and discontinued. What REALLY pissed me off though was even after knowing this, they still listed it as "In Stock" even after the fact.

Futureshop only ships in Canada and they have terrible packaging methods. I bet it will come in a giant bubble wrap envelope and will be crushed by the mailman. Best Buy in Canada does the same thing since Best Buy owns Futureshop and apparently uses the same shipping facilities.

Wow, just noticed that Volume 4 disappeared from Amazon and RightStuf. These are disappearing quicker than I thought.
