That would probably be the very last thing they do, regarding the Dragon Ball series.

Kai would be the perfect opportunity for them to make another, more accurate redub for the moment. I can't really see them going back to Z in order to completely start from scratch, at least not in the near future.

I don't see it happening. Dragonball is perfect. Z is another story.

Hmmm... I personally wouldn't label DragonBall's dub as "perfect." More like, "good enough."

Keeping Kikuchi's score was really enough to me.

Yeah, and Toriyama is creating a follow-up manga about Vegeta with his original round style.

Oh, I saw that one. The one where he had sex with the fusion of Pan and Bra? It wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

I got a email last night from RightStuf stating "We're working on it." This is relating to the DragonBox pre-order. Nothing bad right?

I got the same e-mail. I think this is a automated e-mail when their system finds out that one's order hasn't shipped out.

Unfortunately we are unable to ship your complete order due to the unforeseen demand for the items listed below, or your items are not yet released:

Quantity Item Description Amount
1 CATALOGG TRSI Right Stuf Catalog Info $0.00
1 FUN02240 Dragon Ball Z Season 1 47.99
Date Available - Nov 10 2009
Essentially it's a routine email saying that the item isn't in stock yet, and will be shipped when more are received. Since it hasn't even been released yet, obviously there aren't any in stock - not a big deal.

I got the same emails as everyone else...

I JUST CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS TO COME!!!! *Shouts from top of mountain*

I just hope and pray we can get those extra features that the Jap. DBoxes have. I just wish FUNimation would announce something, I don't care if its the announcement of the English audio mixed with either original score or Faulconer... Just something you know?

How early do RightStuf pre-orders usually come in?

From what I read from others, they say a couple days before the actual release date, so maybe 2-3 days before.
