This is where I am at a dilemma, should I go ahead and get the Dragonball sets or do I wait and see if they do a Dragonbox for that, but if I wait would that actually be detrimental to a Dragonbox release because it didn't do well?

Just buy the Dragonball sets. Tbh, I'm only going to buy one or two of them being as I have most of the series already.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

If I do that and they do do a Dragonbox then I'm in the same boat as I am now, losing money for being impatient (only in this scenario, NO one had any Idea Funi would make a Box so I blame that on false advertising in which they stole from me).

Not really, since unlike the Orange Bricks, the Blue/Green Bicks aren't going to/don't suck. They're perfectly fine releases without being DBOX quality.

More like good news for the Blue Bricks and One Piece. I expected the Dragon Box to be in the top 5.
This isn't counting other sites remember. I'm sure with Amazon and other retailers included, the sales would be pretty impressive.

Dbox is #18 on Amazon.

For Dragonball that is.

That's not bad considering all the overhyped games being released soon, not bad at all.

Yes. Obvious.

So why state the obvious in the first place, which in-turn would make me state the obvious in reply to you stating the obvious? :P

But there are other shows that Funimation licenses that the crowd who shops at Right Stuf like. I'm just glad it's up there.

To be honest, I'm pretty surprised that One Piece is doing so well. That makes me happy because I'm a bigger One Piece fan than Dragon Ball and well...One Piece has had a harsh treatment here in America.

I think its cool that many people have gotten into One Piece due to Dragon Ball, which I have to thank you Dragon Ball for that!

Like weekly jump would probably be out of business or have low sales due to no dragon ball.
