Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Hrmmm... What do you think would be missing from the DBox #2?

The idea isn't "what's missing." It's "what's wrong/broken/etc?"

Is that big black dot that appeared on the footage when Goku blast off to the sky with Kamehameha, also present in the Japanese Dragon Box?

I think that's grasping at straws... It would have to be something much simpler.

There were actually two on the shelf when I bought DBox 4 at Best Buy two weeks ago. One copy of Box 1, none of Box 3.

Yes, several, actually. Two of the stores I saw it at currently list it as "Not available at this location" (which means they don't sell it, period... which is odd, considering I saw it there a week ago) and "Currently out of stock" respectively. However, in the 23 locations for the chain in British Columbia, 19 currently show Dragon Box 2 as in stock.

For Best Buy locations in British Columbia, the 12 locations I can find list it as in stock, both in store and online.

It is also listed as "in stock" on Amazon.ca so that could be an option for American buyers looking to pick it up for a reasonable price: CDN$48.71. It is at least $62.99 elsewhere.

Yeah, but I doubt that's anything to dwell on, since the 3rd is only a dollar less. I'm sure it will go down soon enough.

Why would it be different? It would be terrible marketing by FUNimation to add anything to this set after it's already been released.

Y'know... they could've just ran out across the board and had to make new ones. The fact that it's more expensive now probably has to do wqith it being "new" again on Amazon.

The Right Stuf employee I spoke to on the phone insisted that Dragon Box Two was out of print. Did Amazon just happen to get some more or is Right Stuf full of it? :roll:

Meanwhile, Box 4 is currently $36.49.

I could've bought it for my birthday this Saturday, but I already payed $114 for the limited Robot Damashii Eva Unit 00 Kai on eBay.Image

Not sure why you would want that either way. I like knowing that on the off chance one of my discs gets damaged, I can at least replace them with another copy.
