Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum, I just want to know does anyone know where I can get these Dragon-Boxes cheapest, (V-2 priority). It needs to ship to the UK, its really annoying lol because the ones which I have seen which are selling V-2 don't ship to UK, such as the Canadian Best Buy. I'm pretty desperate, particularly for the first 4 because they've been out for a while.

Any help appreciated,
Thanks

There should be some kind of UK Amazon huh?

And good luck finding DBox 2 cheap anywhere...

Yeh, Amazon.com ships to UK, I can get 6 Dboxes from various Websites for £126 - That doesn't include V2. Does anyone know where I can get V2, I've seen it for $50, but it doesn't ship to UK, so if I was to get it I would have to do some sort of forwarding.

Same here. I wasn't afraid that I wasn't gonna be able to get around to buying it, but I'm glad I didn't have to sit around and wait too long.

EDIT: Wooo! 6,000 posts!

Have any of you tried DeepDiscount for Box 2? I've bought from them before & had no issues (other than shipping taking like a week longer than expected). I can't guarantee that they have it in stock, but it certainly isn't listed as backordered, or out of stock or anything... Plus it's priced at $49.41 + free domestic shipping! Check it out here!

Well this looks promising.

I just hope It's there when my debit card gets the $54.11 back that I spent on BestBuy's DBox 2 that they were never going to get back in stock...

24-72 ( The time it'll take for the cash to be back on my card ) hours starting yesterday.

Do not i repeat do not buy from deep dicount. They charged my card two weeks ago and i selected one day shipping and i never received it. Then I am told that they don't have any more in stock and that they can't cancel my order. I had to call my credit card company just to get the damn thing removed. Very fraudulent site.

That's a shame... sorry that happened to you. I've bought from them several times as well as know other people who have also bought from them. We all complain about the long shipping time, but nothing like that has ever happened to any of us. Was the order you never received for Dragon Box 2?

I wish I could help this guy find volume 2 at a reasonable price: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3BLQOC1GD ... JLV2HNOSL4

as well as everyone else who don't have it but want it.. I think it's really grimy of FUNimation to print vast amounts of copies for all of their boxes except for volume 2. NOBODY WANTS A HOLE IN THEIR SETS! Seriously what's up with with this? I own box 2 and it's even pissing me off!

They are Out of Print! You could make a few bucks from late buyers or be nice and help people out.

Buy them and sell them online to people. But dont be one of those scalper a-holes charging a ridiculous price for them. Be a bro to fellow DBZ fans! Or at least sell them to people from the Daizex forums that want them?

Hope it helps somebody! :)
I shop at RAC's all the time! Great store, good customer service, and Bob is a super-great guy! But I wouldn't say "every(!) DBox for normal price" as his price on DBox 2 is $89, still better than the current price on Amazon or eBay though... that's for sure! :-)
RACS price on Box 2 has now just about doubled as well .. $168.98 .. that's sad

Hmmmm, maybe I'll hit up all my local video stores and see if they're carrying any DBoxes. 8)
