When I got all Dragonboxes (minus 2 because it sold out really quick, and 7 hadnt come out yet) from Amazon, I kept looking all over the net for Dragonbox 2, and literally everyone was out except some shady sites that you know were probably just scams. I thought I had run out of luck but about a month later Rightstuf had a summer sale and they had Dbox 2 for sale too, when previously they were out of stock for it. So obviously I took out the ol' credit card, signed up quickly and pressed that Add to Cart button faster than lightning.
I really don't know how they operate, but sometimes they put up stuff you thought was out of print for good, or they simply seem to have more stock than everyone else. So that's awesome.
I don't know if they have more Dbox 2s though, but with that site, you never know. All you can do is check once in a while I guess. Or keep emailing FUNimation to do more prints for it.

That's still a good price, seeing as how you can now sell 1, 2, 4 and to an extent 3 for much higher than what you bought them for, even if used.
I got all the Dragonboxes already but I still like talking about them and helping hunt people for them. It's like the closest thing to finding the real dragonballs.

Especially that darn 2-star ball.

Are you kidding? No way I am getting rid of them so easily after my self-imposed ban on purchasing those orange bricks.

But you may never know, what with this economy...

Haha, I imagine I am hunting for the dragon balls, too. And when I get a new Dragon Box, that song Dragon Ball Legend from the first series plays in my head, 'cause it sounds like the singer is saying "dragon ball...I got it, got it, got it!"
Man, I'm cool.

Clearing up stock for the new Blu-ray versions hopefully?
That time your teacher asked you to draw Cell in biology class.
This man is my hero:
To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the fans a re-issue might alienate because if all they're concerned about is being able to scalp the people who were either unaware of the Dragon Boxes or couldn't afford them at the time, they're just leeches and deserve to have their greed backfire on them.

Perhaps I should take advantage and get Magical Index and Baka & Test season 2 from here. And the last 3 Kai dvds.
