Kai Part 5 $29.98 MSRP?!?!
So Rightstuf is listing Part 5 of Kai for a release date of May 3'rd with an MSRP of $29.98 (DVD) and $34.98 (Blu-Ray).
Obviously, the actual listing price is quite a deal cheaper. I say Pre-Order this while you can incase it's a mistake.
But if it's not a mistake...Is this a sign that Kai's sales are flopping state side too?

Re: Kai Part 5 $29.98 MSRP?!?!
It's an interesting sign of something, that's for sure. My initial two reactions were "It's doing that damn well they can afford it for the sake of kids who have seen the TV airings and want to own it" or "they're doing this because it'll have less content, considering Dragon Ball Kai will likely only be ninety-eight episode." It'll be interesting to see what the MSRP of the first four sets look like in the coming future.

If those are the actual prices, then that's a big change.
From 49.99 to 29.98

I love how both the fifth Japanese blu-ray box and the American box both end on the same episode.

Just noticed: WTK on AoD has confirmed the other four will drop in price like this one starting May 3.
Re: Kai Part 5 $29.98 MSRP?!?!
Ha, check out the prices now. $22.49 (DVD) and $26.24 (Blu-ray).
I know what I'm ordering when I get home.

Yes, this makes buying a series I have (for all intents and purposes) bought almost twice over, all the easier to collect.
Maybe that's what FUNimation is doing. Sales may not be up to Dragon Ball levels purely because of oversaturation. They did it to themselves, you know.

It's coming out in May, eh?

Oh, sweet! I was waiting for something like this! I can't get them right now, but to know that it'll be the normal price is great news which means I can wait it out a little.

Hopefully the later Blu-Ray sets will still be multi-region.
Maybe I'll just buy all the sets at once.

That's my plan of attack, these seem to be only getting cheaper and they aren't going anywhere like the Dragon Boxes.Kingdom Heartless wrote:

I don't like the pee pee yellow side bar which clashes with the images but I do like the cover art a lot.
The cover is a spoiler.

You know, you say that jokingly, but it really is a huge spoiler. A second Super Saiyan, and he kills Freeza when Goku couldn't?! I'd be pissed if I was actually getting into this series for the first time.PuppetDoctor wrote:The cover is a spoiler.

Looks more like a Yellowish-Green to me, or a Greenish-Yellow, whichever way it goes, lol.
And this is good news for my wallet, as I planned to get the series both on DVD and Blu-Ray. One to watch in my room whenever, and one to push the new TV a bit/have an excuse to make Dad watch the series with me.

Cmon, the title of the episodes themselves are spoilers in their own rightTaku128 wrote:You know, you say that jokingly, but it really is a huge spoiler.

I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

Looks like we're finally reaching the price point required to actually get me to buy Kai.
