How about this for third boxset?
We have never seen Kuririn on Season set so Dragon Box should be good place to honor him for some heroic moments.

Yeah, I agree about the character thing. They'll have 7 characters from the Japanese Dragon Boxes to use on our Boxes, counting the Gohan spine image.

The ending shot of Cha-La-Head-Cha-La may be proof that there's alternate angles (Thanks to Tanooki for the pic):
It looks really clean looking, like the Dragon Box: The Movies one and not blurry looking like the TV series, indicating that it was probably from a textless master.

Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

When I saw the trailer the sky in the Goku and Vegeta fight didn't look as green as it did on the Dragon Box screenhots. So is it because it's Youtube quality or did Funimation just use a placement for the trailer only?
I'm planning to get the set after I hear what others have to say about it in November.
The sky doesn't get green until Vegeta becomes a Great Ape.

I can see the box art going something like this:
Dragon Box 1 - Goku (from R2 Dragon Box 1)
Dragon Box 2 - Freeza (from R2 Dragon Box 1)
Dragon Box 3 - SSJ Goku (from R2 Dragon Box 2)
Dragon Box 4 - Cell (from R2 Dragon Box 2)
The images would match up rather well to the content on each set, and would also be using all four characters present on the front covers of each R2 Dragon Box. For the last three though I have no clue, maybe kanzenban art?
EDIT: There's also the images of Piccolo and Vegeta on R2 Dragon Box 2 I didn't take into consideration, they could also use those for later sets.

Or maybe it's just pulled from one of the movies since, in the press release, it was noted that the DBox movies are going to be released as well.

But I remember way back in the DBZ Season One thread, DBW posted pics comparing the textless and credited version of We Gotta Power, and the colors of the credit version were dark and blurry like the first pic, while the textless ones were very clean looking like in the trailer.

We have never seen Kuririn on Season set so Dragon Box should be good place to honor him for some heroic moments.
Krillin would be appropriate. The episodes that will be in the second set are really the only ones where he gets to shine.
My gues for the covers.
Box 2: Freeza
Box 3: Trunks (Ripped off of the first Dragonbook)
Box 4: Piccolo
Box 5: Cell
Box 6: Vegeta
Box 7: Super Saiyan Goku

If anyone could resize SSJ2 Gohan I have provided and edit to fit in Dragon Box set, that would be awesome!

The problem with those images of Kuririn and Gohan is that they don't match the artwork used on the Dragon Boxes. If they're lifting the Goku art right from R2 Dragon Box 1, then later say used that image of Gohan, it wouldn't look right at all.

He means that it's a different art style.

And wow, Piccolo's skin...it's actually regular green, instead of dark crap-green like in Seasons 1 and 2.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!

Well, I sold bricks 1-9 earlier today. Now there's space on top of my 50" HDTV for the Dragon Boxes(Yes, I like to brag). Once the GT Dragon Boxes ARE/if announced, I'll be getting rid of the GT bricks too.
NEED DRAGON BOXES NOW!
Gohan: At least he doesn't have his sword out anymore.
Kuririn: Yeah, and your dad put his finger away too.

Indeed. If they want this to be a coherent-looking release, they need to stick to art used on the R2 Dragon Boxes, and perhaps the kanzenban.

If they do their editing properly, there are a plethora of good images to be ripped off of the Dragonbook Covers.
