Nice find! Does it say how long it lasts? I might use this opportunity to pre-order the last season set for Kai...but I need to get paid first.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

3, and especially 4, seem to be the real deals here. For 5, 6 and 7, you could get a better price at Amazon. They're always around ~$31.99 at
Amazon at anytime.
Rightstuf is awesome though. That's where I got my Dragonbox 2 for ~$30 in summer 2011.

That's what they get for not visiting the best Dragonball forum on the web.
If there's a great deal somewhere on Dragonball stuff, it's sure to be posted here.

Holy crap, how did you do it? I remember getting mine from them back when vol.3 was originally released and I sure am glad I did.

They simply had a summer sale and all the Dragonboxes available at the time were on sale, including 2 when FUNimation did that second print run. I just checked my email, they had it for $29.99 plus $3 for S&H. I guess I lucked out with that.
A month earlier from that, Amazon had a sale with all Dragonboxes for $23.99. I got 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 that way.
I think I saved a lot of money than I would've had I bought them all for regular prices.

lol. $35 even for Dbox 2? If so, then you also got a good price. I feel sorry for the people having to pay the outrageous amount they're going for nowadays.
Even for Dbox 1 $35 is a good deal, so we lucked out.

Well, I did purchase them as they were coming out, so 35.99 was the cheapest thing you could get at the time. I believe only box 6 I got for 23.99.

That's where I got mine. People might want to know, though, that Wal-Mart doesn't package their DBoxes carefully. Mine just came in a flimsy plastic envelope, so it has a somewhat bad case of corner smoosh. It's still a good deal, but FYI for those who want mint condition boxes.
ALSO: How is Right Stuff getting more of box 3 and 4? Where is this extra stock coming from? Does this mean there is a secret reserve of Box 2 somewhere that may or may not appear in the future? That is the only box I am missing.

The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Keep an eye on Amazon. The price for new box 4s has fluctuated wildly in the past week or two.

Really? Aw, dang. Maybe my mailman just likes to manhandle things. That's good for you though

Would you believe me if I said I bought a new box 4 nine days ago for $35.99 plus shipping? From Amazon?
I took a screen cap of the price/seller page on Amazon, which includes the date, but I don't have have an image hosting account anywhere. I could email it to you if you're interested. But my point is, if you keep checking obsessively like I did, it will pay off
Now, box 2...that might be a different story.

Nah I believe you..no need in hosting up an image to prove it. Thanks! I'll definitely keep an eye out
