ARE THEY SERIOUS? WHAT KIND OF BS RELEASING IS THAT?

Don't get too excited, this is almost certainly a small error on their part because everything else in this listing, including the date (or as is now the case, one of the dates) and RRP for Dragonball Z Dragonbox volume 1 are exactly the same. The fact that there's no other "Z" box listing alongside this "Dragonball Dragonbox" listing too suggests to me at least that it's because they're one and the same.

Hopefully out of all this confusion we'll end up with 7-disc sets.

Hey guys,

Quick question about Amazon orders as the last DVD I bought from them was probably a Yu Yu Hakusho single back in 2004. Is the $55 price temporary or will it remain that low until release time? If it's bound to increase, I'll go ahead and put in a preorder now but if it'll stay low for a while I'll wait.

I won't have the money to place any kind of pre-order in until next month, but now I'm glad that I have to wait. All of this is too confusing right now, and I'd rather have more information from FUNimation and correct listings before I even think about placing a pre-order.

I'd pre-order it now, just in case. That way if the price does go up, you won't have to pay any extra.

Y'know, a simultaneous release of both the Season Set AND the DragonBox versions of a series wouldn't be too bad.

Think about it. Two separate versions, both with their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on who you ask. Unlike what happened with Z, you wouldn't only find out about one after you'd already bought most or all of the other. You'd have a choice right from the beginning.

It's here too. Dragon Ball Season 1 Dragonbox Set!? This has to be a listing error.

*Bites fingernail* I have no idea what's going on.

Why would they do that when they can have you basically pay for the same thing twice?

That is clearly in reference to the Z set. The listing for "Dragon Ball Season 2" is a typo.

Guys, it's a typo. I doubt we'd be getting the Dragon Ball DragonBox and the first DBZ Dragon Box on the same day :lol:

I'll be putting down my order from Rightstuf within the next 24 hours. Early delivery ftw :D

EDIT: The UUE DVDs on Rightstuf are three freaking dollars. Hell, there's tons of DB related stuff there for less than $5 :lol:

Once Right Stuf fixes that error I'll preorder that Dragonbox along with other stuff.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Why does rightstuf deliver early? I have never ordered from there before.

So the dragon ball season 2 listing rightstuf has up is a typo?

Because Rightstuf fused with Z-Store (FUNimation's official store).

How early does their stuff ship out? We talking a week or just one or two days.

Probably the max would be 3-5 days in advance from retail stores, from my experiences with amazon I've received them in this time frame.

Man, I feel like buying it because I feel sorry for it. But what the hell will I do with it once I get it?
Anyway, I can't seem to help but to notice how much confusion a big release generates everytime. Crazy times :P

If you order 2 items on Amazon will they wait for both items to be in stock or will they separate them?
