That didn't stop the bricks from putting Vegeta on box one and Goku on box two. That said, that's kinda the point. All of the DBox images are screwed up chronologically to a certain extent (except for box 4), so complaining about box 5's image for being anachronistic while being fine with all the rest of them is just kinda silly.
The Gohan cover is the most off. He's not even remotely related too that season.

Again, as I've said to you countless times before, that Gohan is only about ten episodes out of sequence, which is much, much less than Goku or Vegeta. And since you're mentioning seasons and considering the Cell arc comprises the entire fourth broadcast season, that picture of Cell arc Gohan is entirely appropriate to the time period. In fact, out of all the covers that are anachronistic, Gohan is tied (with Freeza) for being least off.
Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:

It seems like the pre-order price is going to be about $45 so i was wondering if anyone would recommend i pre order at either Rightstuf or Amazon, never going with Walmart again after shipping me again after sending me some damaged Dboxes.

Why does that matter so much? It's just the box. Is there some rule that the image on the cover has to be entirely relevant?

I guess people want their perfect release, not having realized they don't control what they're given.

The box cover is certainly a HUGE deal because it completely ruins the content of the entire box. Somehow... :wink:

On a serious note, this is my favorite cover so far.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

I don't give a poo about the cover. All I want now is the 5th box to contain the History of Trunks. Then the 6th can have Bardock the father of Goku and the 7th can have the plan to eradicate the super saiyans, though unlikely but a man can dream. :mrgreen:

If you're in the USA, Right Stuf is the way to go. The obvious benefit being that they ship earlier than Amazon. The three Dragon Boxes I've ordered were packed pretty well so I've never had a problem with damages. Sometimes the Amazon price gets a bit cheaper though, so you might want to take that into consideration before ordering Dragon Box Five.

Thanks man, I'll take all that into consideration. By the way, I have yet to buy from Right Stuf, how much would i be paying for shipping?

Shipping Info at RightStuf.com

Economy $3.00
Priority Mail $5.00
UPS Ground $8.00
UPS 2nd Day Air $12.00

These are the current domestic rates. Shipping is a bit more if you order more than one item. I'd recommend adding something cheap to your order if you plan to use economy shipping. If your order is more than $49 you can get economy shipping for free. My order arrived in about a day using both UPS options, but I live only a state away so I can't say what to expect for farther states.

So, since box 5 will only contain 41 episodes, does that mean there will still be 6 discs only the sixth will only contain 6 episodes? If so, would that leave some room for some kind of extra on that last disc?

Aha, I was making a little joke about how far people have gone into speculation on extras in the Dragon Boxes. I want so badly for there to be extras, but I seriously doubt there will ever be any.

Well think about it, sure there is only one less episode for the next 3 boxes but hey we should get a little compensation for ULTIMATELY getting less per box than what we have been getting.

The OVA would be nice. I would seriously buy the last DBox (even though I haven't bought any of the other ones), just to get that.

I bet if they put any significant extras in any box, that box will sell the most copies.

I think there would actually be someone saying that there is new. Or are you so slow that you don't realize that when there's news that people will report it? If there is no news then people will not report it.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.
