Nobody preorder it at Right Stuff just yet.

Right Stuff often has FUNimation product Sales of 30-40% off.

They haven't had one in a LONG while and there's 3 months until the DBox comes out.
There is DEFINITELY going to be at least one of these sales between now and then.

It'd be good for everyone because you save a little money, AND you get it at Right Stuff, who ships things out early.

In reference to the news of a possible delay, I also got the email from Amazon.com but it only says that the latest it will arrive is the 15th of December, it still could arrive by the 19th of November (bearing in mind that this is an international order). As it says on the daizex.com front page, the release date is still listed as being the same.

(Also, there's a little error when Mike says that Amazon are listing the release date as 10 November 2005.)
If you order 2 items on Amazon will they wait for both items to be in stock or will they separate them?
You can choose this on the confirmation page.

FUNimation pulling a Dragon Ball Dragon Box out of nowhere for the same date would be just as big of a news announcement as the initial one of the first Z set. I'm chalking that up as just a listing error.

You know, if the Delay turns out to be true I won't be too terribly sad.

If It gets delayed, that's just more time to save up money.

Amazon has had lots of problems with shipping certain releases out on time. The two most recent examples I can think of are Watchmen and Scribblenauts. I wouldn't put too much stock into this supposed delay.

I think somebody needs to email Right Stuf to change their listing completely. Wrong name and that season shit needs to go.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Those who e-mailed Amazon, your work has paid off. The item name has been changed to "Dragon Ball Z: Dragon Box One." Ahh, a glorious title, indeed. :D

I emailed them from their little feedback form linked to the listing's page.

The Dragon Box release coming stateside? /HeadDesk. ...how many times am I going to end up buying this show... I've been buying the *other* season box sets because I thought that there was no way Funimation would release the Dragon Boxes in the US with subtitles.

Don't feel too bad, you're certainly not alone.

I think they give you the option on the order page.

Somebody should email Right Stuf so they can edit their listing.

Amazon gives you the option of grouping your order in as few shipments as possible at no additional costs.
