If you didn't buy them, and don't want to shell out loads of money, then be patient FUNimation might announce, or not the Dragon Box Z Dragon Ball Z Singles (could be called "Parts"). I'd buy Dragon Box Z "Parts", but I wouldn't expect these to go OoP too, because these would be the low cost version without any big packaging or books.
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:
- Kai 2.0 on Blu-ray

Are the parts out? or you mean they may release them in cheaper packs? I don't care for the package, I just want the full picture of the show, I'm tired of the chopped orange bricks i own. It would be awesome if they just re-released them in normal dvd cases or something of the like

I almost made a similar thread a while ago. I notice DBZ DVD's have been disappearing as well at my local Best Buy and Target not too while ago. My guess is that blu-ray is expanding, but also because more people are moving towards purchasing online. Not to mention places like Best Buy need to make more room for store shelves which could be why as well. We haven't had any new DBZ DVD's in a while since the Dragon Boxes from what I can remember.

Fingers crossed that we'll someday have "Dragon Box Z Part 1" and so on. I'd pre-order it.

My local book store only had DBZ Kai on Blu-Ray and that was it. It seems like there Japanese section of movies and anime are becoming smaller as well. I fear the day where every video store and book store in America will be gone forever. I still miss my local Suncoast that got shut down last year.

Suncoast used to rock (though there prices could be high). I'd always look at the VHS box sets and wanted them..but they were so expensive! The Suncoast at my mall is still open, and the only one thats still open, that I am aware of. Thats where I got my Saiyan Saga blu rays :D

So all the stores in my town no longer sell any DBZ with the acception of Target who only have 2 copies of season 7, one copy of season 5, and the last Z movie pack. These have been sitting there for months. How's DBZ in your town?
