I doubt you'll get the Dragon Box in the first week of November. They've delayed it a week, it's now coming out on the 17th of November.

If they screw up that way too many times, they could be sued. Seeing as they're the official FUNi store, however, the likeliness of them being sued for pre-street date releasings (as opposed to Blockbuster or Amazon) is pretty much non-existant.
So I should order from amazon from now on or is their shipping just better?
If you live outside the US, I would recommend Amazon over Right Stuff. Like I said, Right Stuff is only ridiculously early because they're able to risk pre-street date releases. That gives them an edge. If you live outside the US, things could get held up at customs, etc, making that edge irrelevent. Meanwhile, Amazon has distributors all over the world, so they could bypass customs by shipping from within your own country or city.
Well I live in the US so I guess I'll keep using RightStuff.

$47?! That is amazing. O_O

Though it's way too late at night for me to go about preordering stuff, but this is really good to know. I'm really tempted to buy.

For several reasons (having a long trip I'd like entertainment on, wanting to have enough time to play the other DBZ products, business, whatever) I'm wondering is there any chance that Right Stuf people will get the set this week?

Yes probably and you might get it the third but it's possible you'll get it later than that.

Was just checking my order info on RightStuf, and noticed something I hadn't before...

Shipment Number: XXXXXXXXXX
Ship Date: Oct 30 2009
Shipment Method: UPS 2nd Day Air
Status: Not Yet Shipped

Does this mean the product shipment was sent to RightStuf on Oct 30? If so, we might be getting these pretty soon.

One of my biggest problems is that I cannot log into Right Stuf's website. I know my email and password are accurate though because I did get a "Dragon Box has not yet been shipped" email like a few days after I couldn't get in....

I wouldn't count that as accurate. Here's mine:


Order Number: W0677862
Entry Date: Aug 16 2009
Payment Method: Visa
Status: All backordered

Shipment Number: W0677862 00 00
Ship Date: Aug 21 2009
Shipment Method: UPS 2nd Day Air
Status: Not Yet Shipped

Something is weird here...

My Dragonbox order status has been changed to: Reserved For Your Order.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.
