We got Path to Power to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Dragon Ball way back when. I think it's time we get Path to Power 2.

Though id really hope Dragonball wont turn into a series thats around only to promote merchandise like Yugioh and Beyblade.
DB does get money off from merchandise and Kai didn't end at the Buu saga due to poor toy merchandise sales. For kids shows, TV companies care about selling toys then ratings. Young Justice got good ratings, but poor toy sales. Some of the Super Sentai shows got low ratings, but strong toy sales like Ohranger (The show that was used for Power Rangers ZEO back in 1996).

To me, the closet thing DB has come to toyetic was the Buu saga. The Buu saga had so many forms of Buu, fusions and new SSj form. Buu himself feels like you can make a good toy of him out of him on the way that he can absorb other people.
