That sort of says something about how anticipated this release is amongst the dedicated fanbase. Sure, not a lot of the casual guys will get it (such as that IRL friend of mine I bring up a lot for the sake of contrast), but they've really reeled the nerds in with this one!

Yeah, I texted my friend (coincidentally, the person who first told me about the Season sets) about the Dragon Boxes and he just said "Wow" when I told him I'm buying these.

Won't they be releasing these in seven sets?

Now, as far as I can tell, these DragonBoxes will NOT be limited releases that become more valuable than gold, correct?

And yeah, the price is a little steep when compared to the Orange Bricks, but considering the content, I will inevitably shell out for them (hoping for some good deals on Amazon, though!)

I am rather proud of myself for holding out this long. Just when I was starting to ENTERTAIN the thought of breaking down and buying the bricks, FUNi drops this megaton. Patience really does pay off, people. My sympathies to all who bought the bricks.

This just in. I want FUNi's children!

I wonder if FUNImation is female?

Whoops. I was thinking seven but for some reason wrote 5.

Actually at MSRP, you're only paying about $110 more for all seven Dragon Boxes instead of buying the nine Orange Bricks. At discount prices that you're likely to see at stores like Amazon, I'm estimating that the price gap between the two releases will be around $80. Of course, how much of a discount we'll see at places Amazon and Wal-Mart is still way up in the air and we won't really know until pre-orders start going up.

Also, there's also the aspect that, even at MSRP, the R1 Dragon Boxes will be a little over 1/4 the price of the R2 Dragon Boxes.

Actually, it's less that a tenth of the price. Or has the price gone down since 2003?

$560 isn't less than a tenth of $2000.

Nor is it over 9000.

OOh, I didn't know you meant total.

Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't know I was unclear. Essentially:

R2 Dragon Box Z (eps. 1-291): Approx. $2000
R1 Dragon Box Z (eps. 1-291): MSRP $560
DBZ Season Sets (eps. 1-291): MSRP $450

So, really, it's a freakin' steal and isn't that much more expensive than the Bricks.

I see what you're saying. And am I right in assuming they WON'T be produced in limited quantities? As in: everybody who wants one will be able to buy one?

Damn right.

Sounds like that's a reasonable assumption. Nothing's been stated at the Otakon panel or in the official press release pertaining to limited quantities or pre-orders.
