So since there was only 2 JP Dragonboces; and we are getting 7 of them; who do you think they will put on the other 5 boxes? I'm a bit excited to see brand new artwork...since so far the first 2 movies have photos weve seen about 100 times already.

DBox 1- http://www.kanzentai.com/media/picture/ ... on_box.png

DBox 2 - http://www.kanzentai.com/media/picture/ ... on_box.png

DBox 2 Also - http://www.kanzentai.com/media/picture/ ... book01.png

These guys will likely be on the boxes. Exactly which order they'll be in is anyone's guess at this point.

Still leaves 5 boxes to go though. I'm excited to see if they can match up the new drawings to the two boxes from JP.

Well, on the first American box they used one character from the box art. Imagining that such will be the format throughout this release, that leaves six other characters to use for their total of seven boxes.

"FREE with Super Saver Shipping."

I thought that said "Free Super Saiyan shipping" at first glance. :lol:

You would think they would save Cell for the Cell sage.

The Cell Saga *was* in the second Dragon Box set.

Yeah but in these new dragonboxes the cell saga wont be. That is a guess of what he thinks volume 2 of the American dbox will look like right?

EDIT:

Never mind, that is the Japanese dragonbox. I thought he was saying this is what vol. 2 of the American one might look like. That is what I get for skimming the post. Sorry. :oops:

No, that's the cover of the second Japanese Dragon Box. He was just pointing out that those images will probably be used at some point in the American releases.

No, it was showing what art the second box had. We currently have Goku on the first. We have Freeza from Dragon Box One to use on the second or third Funibox, as well as Vegeta, Piccolo, Cell, and another Goku on the second box. Add in the Gohan lunging art from the inside of Dbox 2, and we have enough characters from the original art to split individually across seven sets.

Just pre-ordered on Amazon. Haven't received any delay message.

It'd be nice if it shipped out a week early and I got it around my birthday time, which is now celebrated by me buying things for myself.
