The Japanese boxes aren't numbered (aside from Z), but the Dragon Ball box was the 3rd to be released and the GT box was 4th.

Yeah, like I just said, they aren't numbered, aside from Z having volumes 1 and 2.

Just posted above you. Of course you'll need to translate the page and use a proxy service, but...

Guys, he's talking about numbers, might be referring to the Funi boxes.

The seven Funimation Dragon Boxes only cover Z. There are no Dragon Ball or GT boxes at the moment.

Just like Dragon Ball since Chapter #4.

As far as the Japanese Dragon Boxes go, here are your options on eBay -
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dragonball-GT-D ... 275wt_1396
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dragonball-Drag ... 787wt_1163
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dragonball-Drag ... 341wt_1396
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dragonball-Drag ... 297wt_1396
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DRAGON-BALL-Jap ... 803wt_1163
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DRAGON-BALL-Z-J ... 785wt_1163

As BlazingFiddlesticks said, if you are referring to the Dragon Boxes that Funimation recently released in America, there are currently only out for Dragon Ball Z, not Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball GT, or any of the movies. They contain the exact same footage as Toei's Dragon Boxes for DBZ, plus the English dub and English subtitles for the Japanese audio, and it is split up into seven volumes, instead of two, as with the original Japanese release.

Volumes three, five, six, and seven are all currently available on Amazon for a reasonable price -
http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Ball-Box-T ... 854&sr=1-5
http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Ball-Box-F ... 854&sr=1-2
http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Ball-Box-S ... 854&sr=1-3
http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Ball-Box-S ... 854&sr=1-1

Every volume of Funimation's Z Dragon Box has been discontinued, so the earlier ones are really costly now. Here are the current eBay listings for volumes one, two, and four.

I've been seeing the Dragon Ball GT Dragon Box for under $400.00 lately. I thought it was a great deal, then I remembered it was DBGT.

Hell, this one is $255.00 BIN!
Check out these links as well. I didn't find them in my initial search because neither title said "Dragon Box," which is what I entered into my search query.

Edit: Here's another listing for Dragon Box: The Movies.

But, as previously mentioned. Yahoo Auctions Japan has the best prices on R2 Dragon Boxes, and eBay's prices are nuts.
For the Dragon Boxes here in America, you might find decent prices on sales threads that pop here, aside from scouring eBay.

This is true, but if OP is having this much trouble understanding which Dragon Boxes have which "numbers," the last thing he should have to deal with is using a good web translator and proxy service to make such an expensive purchase on Yahoo Auctions Japan. Not to mention he/she will also have to figure out how to get R2 DVDs to play on his DVD player.

Yup, I explained that to him on the previous page, I think he just ignored me though.

Oh no, I thought each Dragonbox had a specific number to it (For example the two DBZ boxes be 1 & 2 and the DB one be 3 and so on and so forth) but thanks everybody for the help.

I'm probably only going (If I get one) to get one, so which one should I get? The DB one or the GT one?

I would wait and see what FUNimation releases if they do. If it's DB, get GT, and vice versa.

He's saying if you wait it out just a bit, FUNimation might be releasing DB and DBGT DragonBoxes here in the U.S. They would be cheaper for you to buy and they would have English subtitles.
