1000/42 = 23 or so minutes.

We've known since the initial announcement each set would be over forty episodes.

Well, I was just thinking maybe we would get more episodes than we imagined. :lol:

Those two things were my favorite things EVAR at the height of their popularity! I still love DBZ tho. Pokemon, just the R/B/G/S games and the first season of the anime.

With the focus on the Japanese side of things, I wouldn't be too surprised if FUNi just subbed some of the Japanese trailers. :lol:
I'm hoping with each Box we get a new in-character Trailer from a FUNi Voice Actor. Hopefully, they don't sound awful like Sabat's Vegeta did though.

I suggested to the guy who made the first one to have Sabat as Zarbon for the second set! :lol:

For all those who haven't pre-ordered yet, know that Amazon has raised the price for the DBox from 55.99 to 71.99; don't forget though that you can still pre-order over at Right Stuf with their FUNimation sale, just use the coupon dragonball and get the DBox for 40% with free domestic shipping at the low price of 47.99 just so you know. 8)

I guess they are thinking they can get a better price since it seems to be doing well in pre-order sales.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

I just pre-ordered Season 1 of Dragonball and Dragon Box Z. I am so pumped for that DBOX, it's been about like a month I believe since the announcement but it feels like a year. I so can't wait!

When you pre-order from Rightstuf, do they charge you when you order it, or when it ships?

Available at Robert's Anime Corner Store for the not-so-bad price of $55: http://www.animecornerstore.com/drbase1drdvd.html

This site ships really early, I mean seriously early, I got the Akira Blu-ray 1 whole month before the street date.

Oh wow. I may be broke now, but there's no logical reason I can think of to sit on the pre-order for this any longer. I really don't want to risk something like this happening again. Sometimes it takes a real kick like that to get you to do something.

Time to head over to Rightstuf before getting some sleep...and there we go, in for $47.99. Luckily I'll be able to get some money into my account at the beginning of next month, so no worries here. I'm excited, I never thought I'd be able to pick up this thing for below $50!

I am so glad I pre-ordered the second this showed up.

I'm comfortable shopping with Amazon, I really didn't want to fuck around with Rightstuf, especially since I have to import.

Curious, has anyone that's pre-ordered from Rightstuf received a confirmation email? I know my order went through, since I went through the confirmation screen, but I'm surprised I didn't get an email. I also can't seem to find a way to access the order from Rightstuf's site.

Is there a way to view my order, or should I just...believe that it's out there and good?

Typically, when you placed a pre-order, they will charge you when it ships.
