Typically, when you placed a pre-order, they will charge you when it ships.
Is there anyone you can think of that doesn't do that?

Is there anyone you can think of that charges you right away instead of charging you when it ships?

Is there a way to view my order, or should I just...believe that it's out there and good?
Char, your best bet is to phone up RightStuf and verify the order through their systems. You may be required to provide address information and your card number but it is necessary if you want confirmation.

Hi there,

I'm looking for a chance to have my 1st post and here it is.

The re-re-re-release of DBZ movie 1 is at 6.99 now from Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Ball-Movie ... 070&sr=8-9

Movie 2 is still at 9.98, though.

Cheers!

I can't believe it. :( Why didn’t I pre-order on Amazon when it was $55? :lol:
I would pre-order on Rightstuf, just that I don’t know how to.

Pretty much the same exact way you do it on Amazon, lol.

I'm not sure what the logic is over at Amazon.

I might go and pre-order now. Does anyone know how much the shipping will cost to the UK with Rightstuff?

It's $10 shipping to the UK, which is about £6. In total, with the "dragonball" coupon code used, It'll set you around $57.99 (about £35).

I fucking knew it...the UK can't visit FUNi's DB websites anymore. We get shafted on everything. Anyone else from other countries having the same problems?

Let's hope they don't "shaft" a little harder and remove regions 2 and 4 from their Dragonbox release.

Will people stop saying "Shaft"? :P
Is it just more, or does dragonballz.com now re-link tohttp://www.navarre.com/funimation/?
I was trying to see what DragonballKaiHD was talking about, but couldn't.

That's what stopping me from pre-ordering it. We'll have to wait till someone here get it and confirm to us.

FUNimation's blog is accessable.

Two days ago, I posted this in their DBox trailer page:
SHINOBI-03 wrote:[need a quick reply]
I have a very important question about the Dragon Box release.
Will it be for regions 1, 2 & 4 like you always do with Dragon Ball releases? Or you’ll make it region 1 only?

Please leave it 1, 2 & 4. I live in a region 2 country, and I don’t want to be left out of fandom joy because of the region coding.
And I got this response:
It proboaly will be as that is how they all ways do it. And i know a lot of people importing it from region 2. But there is always just buying the dvd and watching it on a laptop or computer.
Well, it doesn't answer anything... but this guy said that a lot of people from R2 countries do import FUNimation's releases.

So, maybe we got a chance... I mean, this is FUNimation's ultimate release for real! I don't think they are stupid enough to limit it to America only.

Jesus, I wouldn't attach too much significance to what he has to say. That is some pretty terrible grammar/english right there.
