Sure thing. In the meantime, here's a picture from awhile back that somewhat conveys how big they are (though the Z Boxes are off screen):

They're all the same height, and the DB/Z Boxes are each about as thick as Daizenshuu 2-7 put together.

Got my Dragonbox.

No extras....some trailer at the start of the DVD. Well I have only looked at the first one.

I have yet to go though the other discs but I don't think any of them have extras.

FUNi's version is nothing, you should see the original Japanese boxes. Those hog up shelf space.

Heh yeah, I used to have the movies Dbox and I had to put it next to my Daizenshuu instead of next to my dvds.

I guess I'll have to put the FUNi Dbox next to my Naruto Uncut boxsets which are also space hogs. :x

Say, what does the back of the box say the running time is? I can't make it out on the other shot.

I believe I took these when the domestic release was first announced, but I could be wrong. :?

Question: If I order these from rightstuf right now as we speak, will I get them before the release date like most people in this thread? I want to obtain these now if possible but if I order online and will just have to wait until the 17th or whatever for it to ship i'd rather just wait to go in store and pick it up

My Dragon Box just arrived at my doorstep, a full day earlier than UPS's tracking had previously indicated. It's so beautiful, but I need a shower before I relax and watch these discs all night.

Thanks RightStuf!

A couple pages back I commented on this. I switched my order to RightStuf a few hours ago to see if it would ship within the next couple of days. I'll post the results in this thread.

I'm a bit confused...so is the FUNi dbox the same height as the Japanese dbox?

No. They're a bit taller than the standard DVD case.

No, the Japanese Dragon Boxes are bigger. The domestic Dragon Box is about the same size, height wise, as a standard DVD case. You can see my comparison photos above.

Wow, the sale numbers for the set jumped up dramatically on Amazon. It was listed as the sixteenth best selling Dragon Ball DVD a few days ago and now its the second highest. :P

Dragonball Season 2

Yes people, the sales ranking is #1,622 in Movies and TV as of this post. It's kicking serious ass.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.
