Buy them and sell them online to people. But dont be one of those scalper a-holes charging a ridiculous price for them. Be a bro to fellow DBZ fans! Or at least sell them to people from the Daizex forums that want them?

That would be so awesome if you could do that and re-sell them, I'd definately buy it. Because according to Best Buy Canda they are selling them for 49.99 CDN (and in stock), but I can't get it because it doesn't ship to the UK, and Best Buy UK is crap, it doesn't have any Dragonball related stuff whatsoever.

EDIT:

Forgot to say does anyone know of any potential price drop for some of the Dboxes like what happened a few months ago, because than I don't have to go and get 5,6,7 straight away (unless anywhere here thinks any of those are in risk of becoming like V.2 soon). Based on most post 1-4 are at risk so I should try and get them asap. But if there isn't going to be any price drop I'd probably go and get more. Dilemma's pretty annoying really they could rocket in price any time but than there could also be a price drop.

Basically it was a Limited Time offer for the fans, I'm glad I have all seven of them, though, some of my Dragon Box 4 discs have a few light scratches which would make me consider buying another box 4.

By the looks of it only box 2 seems to be unavailable but every other box is available.
Hmm, would suck if only box 2 were a limited release lol.

I hurried up and bought Four and Five. All I need is Six and Seven.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Hi guys,

Need some good advice, Its seems like I am going to order at least one Dbox from amazon, and they charge £4.22 ($6.72) for shipping from here to the UK, however for each extra I add the price increases by £1.62 ($2.58), so I save £2.60 ($4.14) than if I was to buy it again later individually in terms of shipping. Would it be worth buying at least say one more from amazon (so 2 in total)? Or should I wait for a potential price drop, (on that point does anyone know whether there is going to be a price-drop? I)

They went on sale a few months ago before Dragon Box 7 was released for $23.99USD a box so I doubt it will ever go lower than that.

Myself not being a big gambler would say to scoop these up now since Funimation has said they are discontinued. If you wait to see if they go on sale by then they may be gone for good.

Definitely try getting them if you're serious about them. Try looking for DBox 2. It should be your top priority.

I really hope the same thing doesn't happen to this as it did to my Box 6 where it arrived 2-3 weeks longer than expected. So if everything goes smoothly, it should indeed be next week.

EDIT:
Anyone checked there local Best Buy yet? I'm still after D-box 2, any help in truly appreciated, like I've said if its selling for a good price I'll 100% buy it and pay for shipping costs too. Sorry if I'm being impatient but this D-box stuff is always on my mind XD.

Yea, but now I gotta pay $187 for it :x

Apparently they were selling at the previous $157 price, since there were four left earlyier today, and now there's only two left at $187 from the same seller!!! :evil:

Bastards raising the price b/c their $157 price was selling.

O, well. At least now It's only like 16 hours until I grab my check, deposit $400 dollars and by them all at once!

Please God!!! Please let their be at least one DBox 2 left for me to buy!!! :cry:

I paid around £30-ish per Dragon Box so I ended up spending £210-ish, well it's still cheaper than the original Japanese Dragon Boxes and I got all seven so I'm very happy on having all of them. :D

Glad I got Box 2 way, way back when. And the recent ones for $31, aren't too shabby either.
