Not all of them. I checked mine last saturday, and they were holding them until tomorrow.

Hey, guys! I posted a video about the Dragon Box and Attack of the Saiyans.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdVH9GvWpE4

Check it out!

I forgot to mention exactly why the Dragon Box is so much better. If the animals here weren't being so noisy I'd record a video to explain it to people who aren't in-the-know and put it up right now.

Maybe I'll get around to it tomorrow.

Anywho, give it a look! Sorry for the shameless promotion.

Got mine today. Finally.

Speaking of that "thing" on the back of the box, I don't know where mine is. I think it just fell off and behind my tv in my bedroom ^_^;;

These are by no means indicative of the set's quality in general, but this one jumped out at me.

Yeah I see it. I uploaded a clip to youtube showing it. Actually looking you notice it.

(if it's not done processing yet, give it a couple of minutes).

Maybe it's YouTube being fuzzy or something but I don't see it.

Yeah....-_-;;

In my original copy of the rip from the first disc I blatantly saw it too -_-;; ::shakes fist::

EDIT: But keep in mind, it's not even really noticeable unless you are looking for it. I had no idea it was there until he pointed it out.

Well, if that's the only real blatant error so far then we're leagues ahead of where we've ever been with a US DBZ release!

Watching it on my PC, I don't notice at all.

Is it because Nappa loses his mouth? That's the only thing I can gather from the image and the video.

Doesn't hinder the Dragonbox's quality, IMO.

The top image is all pixel-ish. That's the problem.

Seems like it's for about one frame, though, and I can't catch it on the YouTube video provided.

I saw the image turns into a shitty jpg image for a brief moment in that video

I'm ordering the Dragon Box from Right Stuf purely because the international shipping is $10 ($10.75AUD) compared to Amazon's $38AUD. Plus I don't care how long it takes it's a hell of a lot cheaper.

Can't wait!!!!

As of 12:39PM EST, The Dragonbox 1 is ranked #1 of all anime boxsets on Amazon.

Fantasmo. Hopefully this'll keep people from speculating cancellation for awhile. To be more specific, though:

Amazon.com Sales Rank: #1,052 in Movies & TV (See Bestsellers in Movies & TV)

Popular in these categories:
#1 in Movies & TV > Boxed Sets > Anime
#1 in Movies & TV > Anime & Manga > Characters & Series > Dragon Ball
#2 in Movies & TV > Anime & Manga > By Studio > FUNimation Entertainment

If this keeps up, it'll outdo the season sets. We might even get the other Dragonboxes.
